tive appearance. Lorraine laegonia is 

 grown in good style for specimens; Be- 

 gonia magnifiea for smaller plants. 

 Cyclamens have become an important 

 factor on the place. They are grown 

 in quantity, nicely grown in a good as- 

 sortment of colors. 



There is a great quantity of pretty 

 primroses. The ferns are an important 

 product of the place. From the glorious 

 11-inch tub specimens down to the little 

 thumb-pot ferns for ferneries, all are 

 well done. Perhaps one of the most un- 

 usual sizes is the 4-inch that affords ma- 

 terial between the fernery size and the 

 6-inch. These 4-inch plants of Cyrto- 

 mium Rochfordianum, the holly plants, 

 Pteris Wilsonii and so forth are ex- 

 tremely nice. There are araucarias, 

 palms and so forth to make up a good 

 assortment. 



Various Notes. 



The American Rose Society commit- 

 tee held an enthusiastic meeting at the 

 S. S. Pennock;Meehan Co. store on the 

 afternoon of December 5. The First 

 Regiment armory was engaged for the 

 week of March 20, for a rfintal of $1,000. 

 There will be no trades' display. All 

 the large floor space will be devoted to 

 the exhibitors of plants and flowers. 



Paul Berkowitz was taken ill while 

 away from home last week and was 

 obliged to return to this city. Mr. Ber- 

 kowitz is improving, though still con- 

 fined to the house. 



Fred Dettrick, of Wyomissing, gave 

 a turkey dinner and motor ride to some 

 of his friends December 3. The party 

 visited Charles Dudman, of Llanerch; 

 Peter J. Vervaecke, of Media; William 

 A. Leonard, of Lansdowne, and others. 

 Mr. Dettrick showed some fine yellow 

 and white narcissi, potted poinsettias, 

 stevia, snaps and calendulas. Mr. Leon- 

 ard's roses look promising, as do Mr. 

 Dudman 's carnations. 



Frank R. Hastings had a handsome 

 Thanksgiving day wedding that taxed 

 his energies beyond the limits of the 

 8-hour law. A pleasant incident, which 

 means so much to all of us, was the ap- 

 preciation of the people for whom the 

 work was done. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is 

 receiving Ophelia of blue ribbon grade. 



The proprietors of the Keeney Flower 

 Store and the Cumberland Greenhouses, 

 of Harrisburg, Pa., were with us re- 

 cently. 



J. Max Nitzschke has terminated his 

 connection with the Forrest Flower 

 Shop. Phil.

In previous years Thanksgiving day 

 usually has been cold and the ground 

 covered with snow. But this year it 

 was an ideal Indian summer day; not a 

 plant was wrapped for delivery. Flow- 

 ers were everywhere. No family gath- 

 ering was complete without them; foot- 

 V)all enthusiasts bought liberally; the 

 great dining halls were elaborately 

 decorated; the leading retailers had 

 large orders for out-of-town of boxes 

 of mums, roses, violets and orchids. 

 There was little left unsold the night 

 before Thanksgiving. Most of the 

 wholesalers remained open until after 

 midnight. Prices were held firmly, but 

 were not unreasonable, though the vol- 

 ume of receipts from the growers was 

 not so large as anticipated.

drop on the holiday, having been put 

 on too high a pedestal to begin with. 

 Mums, too, were held by many a little 

 abov6 their value, and those quick to 

 realize this were the fortunate ones to 

 clean up. Orchids were scarce and 

 high. So were roses and violets, the 

 latter going to .$1.50 and $2 per hun- 

 dred. Large gigas were held at $1 and 

 over. 



All the roses advanced to the highest 

 quotations of the season, from 75 cents 

 each for the best American Beauties 

 down to $2 and $3 per hundred for No.
