ji being answered with regard to plants 

 by the adoption of a higher scale of 

 prices on certain kinds — a scale that 

 has been set by the leaders and is be- 

 ing adopted by growers generally. In 

 the case of cut flowers no such scale 

 is possible. So the question was put 

 to Charles E. Meehan, with a certainty 

 of securing a thoughtful reply. 



"Flowers have not brought any more 

 this fall than usual, ' ' Mr. Meehan said. 

 "The supply has been more than equal 

 to the demand. It seems likely that dur- 

 ing the winter things will be different. 

 •With a more evenly balanced supply 

 and demand it is almost certain that 

 prices will be satisfactory to the grow- 

 ers, because general business is good 

 and people are willing to pay a fair 

 price for what they want." 



Transportation. 



The growth of the florists' business 

 has been so rapid during the last few 

 years that it brings up new problems, 

 or rather accentuates old problems, mak- 

 ing them more serious than in the past. 

 Leo Niessen voiced the feeling among 

 our shippers when he spoke of the neces- 

 sity of concerted action to secure relief. 

 Mr. Niessen 's idea is that prompt de- 

 livery of perishable cut flowers and 

 plants at holidays can be secured from 

 the express companies, past all perad- 

 venture, by the assistance of the Inter- 

 state Commerce Commission. He thinks 

 that so important an industry as flori- 

 culture should receive special considera- 

 tion. He doubts whether that consider- 

 ation can be secured from the express 

 companies unless the florists unite and 

 throw their whole force into the effort. 



Various Notes. 



Edward Neville spoke on his experi- 

 ence during his vacation before the 

 Germantown Horticultural Society De- 

 cember 11. The treasurer's report for 

 the year read at this meeting showed 

 the society to be in splendid condition 

 — a large paid membership and a good 

 balance on hand, after an addition was 

 made to the permanent fund. 



The florists and seedsmen of this city 

 contributed generously to the bazaar 

 held for the benefit of the Allies at the 

 Bellevue-Stratford this week. 



Clarence U. Liggit said that all vari- 

 eties of Christmas plants save palms 

 and ferns are already running short. 



Aschmann Bros, grew a fine lot of 

 Jerusalem cherries at their annex green- 

 house, Cottman street and Bustleton 

 avenue.
