50-foot sections were extravagant, that 

 25-foot sections were much better. Mr. 

 Peterson supported this assertion log- 

 ically. He asked the price of 2-ineh 

 water pipe, the price of %-inch hose 

 and the life of each. 



The lesson was learned. It has been 

 put into practice since and it has saved 

 money. 



Bemlniscences. 



Few business men are more alert to- 

 day than Harry Bayersdorfer. He took 

 a few moments from a busy day to go 

 into the past. It occurred when Mr. 

 Bayersdorfer heard of the death of 

 Charles Fox, Sr. "I knew him well," 

 he said, "he was a man to be trusted. 

 His word was his bond. Charles Fox 

 was foreman for Hugh Graham, at 

 Eighteenth and Thompson streets. When 

 I was selling for M. M. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., in those days, I walked, carrying 

 a box from North Fourth street to 

 Eighteenth and Thompson. The first 

 stop was at Wolff's, in Eidge road; then 

 I went on out to Ferguson's and Al- 

 burger's, then to Rising Sun, and so on. 

 Car fare then was 7 cents, four tickets 

 for a quarter. When we asked for our 

 fare we were told if we did not want to 

 walk they would get someone else; so 

 we walked. Dinner was 15 cents and 

 we tipped the waiter once a week, may- 

 be. Pennock Bros, were in the cellar on 

 twelfth street in those days. When we 

 ^ent in, it was, 'Hello, Thomas,' to 

 1 nomas Cartledge, and 'Hello, Johnnie,' 

 to John Westcott. They liked us little 

 snavers to be chummy with them." Here 

 tne present came back with a jump as a 

 runner from one of the stores claimed 

 -•vir. liayersdorf er 's attention.

Hugh Graham was a high-class man; 

 he held a big position in John Wana- 

 maker's store. 



The Weather. 



The weather during the month of 

 January has been extraordinarily fa- 

 vorable to production. This is not near- 

 ly so apparent in the crops now as it is 

 likely to be in those to follow. It is 

 hardly possible to imagine a midwinter 

 month with so much sunshine and so 

 little severity. 



The character of the growth of all 

 plants under glass has been vastly im- 

 proved and cultural operations, often 

 delayed for a month or six weeks from 



lack of good weather, have been pushed 

 through. Good spring crops should re- 

 sult. 



Various Notes. 



The Century Flower Shop reopened 

 January 28, with a beautiful display of 

 baskets of flowers with price tags at- 

 tached to each, always a feature at the 

 Century. Ophelia roses and Purity 

 f reesia were freely used. 



Sydney H. Bayersdorfer thinks there 

 must be more sweethearts than usual 

 this year, to judge from the large orders 

 for valentines. Most of them are for 

 the higher grades, also. The little vase 

 to hold a few choice roses or other flow-
