Mention The Rerlew when yon write. 



Paper Whites and Soleil d'Or have been 

 dropped . 



Ferns, for which Floracrof t is famous, 

 are grown in large numbers. The ap- 

 pearance of the stock was pleasing. The 

 salable sizes had evidently sold well. 



But what of valley? Mr. Ross could 

 see no immediate prospect of these love- 

 ly flowers, for so long the pride of 

 Floracroft, returning. German valley 

 has disappeared. Valley from Holland 

 and from Denmark is inferior. It is 

 too bad. 



Do you remember Garrett Malloyt 

 It was Mr. Malloy who brought the val- 

 ley king's crown and scepter from 

 Lansdowne to Moorestown, after the 

 death of A. J. Pennock, and presented 

 them to Walter P. Stokes. Mr. Malloy 

 is a good rose grower and a wonderful 

 valley grower. Mr. Malloy said it was 

 better to be without valley than to 

 have poor pips. 



Various Notes. 



John Berger, the popular wholesale 

 florist of this city, is ill at his home in 

 Germantown. Mr. Berger has been suf- 

 fering intensely with double pleurisy. 

 He is a little better. 



J. J. Habermehl's Sons will have the 

 decoration for one assembly ball to be 

 held at the Bellevue-Stratford next 

 month. 



The chiefs of the M. Rice Co. lunched 

 together at the City Club the other day 

 and mapped out plans for the coming 

 year. They will have the stock and 

 they will encourage effort among their 

 assistants. Those present at the 

 luncheon were Bernard Eschner, Arthur 

 Zirkman, Robert Q. Shoch, J. E. Mc-

The annual luncheon of the officials 

 and field men of the Henry F. Michell 

 Co. was held at a leading hotel in the 

 center of the city, December 28, to talk

Sydney H. Bayersdorfer gave a din- 

 ner to the firm and employees of H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., at the Hotel Adel- 

 phia, the evening of December 22. It 

 was largely attended and much enjoyed. 

 A feature of the evening was the visit 

 of the telegraph boy to each guest with 

 some comic message. The first telegram 

 was for the host, from President Wil- 

 son, who regretted that his absence on 

 the peace mission prevented his being 

 present. Stephen B. Green added to the 

 pleasure of the evening by playing 

 piano accompaniments to the singing. 

 The affair did not end until late. 



Frank R. Hastings reports an excep- 

 tionally good Christmas. 



J. J. Habermehl's Sons report a splen- 

 did Christmas, away ahead or last year. 



M. J. Callahan got better results at 



Christmas than ever before, with leas 

 effort. 



Charles H. Grakelow enjoyed his best 

 Christmas; people were willing to pay 

 the prices. 



Hugo Niessen is the new chairman of 

 the club room committee of the Flo- 

 rists' Club. 



J. J. Habermehl's Sons arranged a 

 handsome decoration for the Charity 

 ball in the American Academy of Music, 

 the evening of December 26. Phil.
