SWEET PEAS, unquestionably tlie leaders, wonderful values they are, 

 with such an array of colors, all the delicate shades as well as the 

 standards— the improved orchid-flowering strains in large proportion. 

 $2.00, $3.00, $4.00 per 100. 



DAFFODILS, $8.00 to $10.00 per 100.

 very good Quality at $4.00, $6.00, $8.00 per 100.

an unprecedented demand for artificial 

 flowers. This demand is so great that 

 his shipping department cannot keep 

 pace with the factory and it has be- 

 come necessary to hold up any orders 

 that can wait to get out the artificial 

 flowers on time. 



Floral Movies. 



1 — A woman is seen in the room be- 

 hind her flower shop. She is crying. 

 She holds a sheet of orders in her hand. 

 Before her are empty jars. She has no 

 flowers for her orders. A man enters 

 the front shop with a small pasteboard 

 box. She rushes forward to welcome 

 him. 



2 — The scene this time is in the buy- 

 ing room of a flower shop. The buyer 

 is calling the wholesalers, one after 

 another, on the telephone, apparently 

 without result. The order clerk comes 

 in, seizes the few remaining flowers 

 and goes out.

 People are coming and going. About 

 half of them go out without purchasing, 

 when told the prices. There are not 

 enough flowers for the others. 



Various Notes. 



The death of Edward W. Habermehl 

 has cast a gloom over floral circles. He 

 was extremely popular. His career is 

 described in this week's obituary 

 column. 



John E. Andre is cutting a good crop 

 of roses at his range in Doylestown. 

 Mr. Andre ships to the Leo Niessen Co. 



Thomas Potts is bringing in a great 

 crop of Golden Spur for the Floracroft 

 Greenhouses, at Moorestown. 



The Edgeplain Floral Co. has opened 



temporary offices at 2027 North College 

 avenue. 



Pennock Bros, had a handsome win- 

 dow display of exquisite floral valen- 

 tines. The most striking was a basket 

 of Golden Spur narcissi with a bunch 

 of forget-me-nots and a bow of light 

 blue ribbon. 



Most men hate to carry packages. 

 W. W. Crawford is the exception. His 

 willingness to carry his purchases has 

 won him the sobriquet of "Bnndle 

 Bill." 



Edwin J. Fancourt went with Wil- 

 liam F. Gude to the Knoxville, Tenn., 

 meeting, which he greatly enjoyed. 



Berger Bros, are receiving some nice 

 valley.
