ber were lying unused beneath a bench, 

 covered with dirt. That does not 

 happen now. In many cases the pot 

 does not go with the plant. The plants 

 are knocked out of the pots and put in 

 baskets for delivery and the pots are 

 saved. Some florists make a business 

 of buying second-hand pots and do not 

 buy new ones for a season or two. 



A New High Record. 



With the expenses of labor, coal and 

 materials so high, it is interesting to 

 know that it is possible to offset the 

 increased cost of production by an in- 

 creased sale for our product. This has 

 been achieved by quality. Heretofore 

 $4 to $5 each, wholesale, has been con- 

 sidered as top figures for specimen 

 cyclamens, usually in 8-inch pots. The 

 Robert Craig Co. has sold some of its 

 selected 10-inch cyclamens for $12 each, 

 at wholesale. Just think of it; $12 each 

 for 10-inch cyclamens! They are beau- 

 ties and no mistake. Such stock at 

 such a price set a new record. . 



A Loss. 



Two men got out of the train at the 

 suburban terminal, talking excitedlv. 

 "Go back and find it," the older man 

 said. The younger man ran back into 

 the car, but returned in a minute 

 empty-handed. "It is not there," he

said, and disappeared down the plat- 

 form. "What was it?" I asked. "A 

 blue railroad slip," the older man re- 

 plied. "He threw it away! Did you 

 ever hear of such a thing? I told him 

 it was worth 10 cents. He excused 

 himself by saj'ing he thought it only 

 could be cashed in town. I told him it 

 could be cashed here, or at any station. 

 He found it and now he has dropped it 

 again and lost it. Did you ever hear of 

 such a thing? He has just thrown away 

 10 cents!" 



As I went my way this little incident 

 stood out the more clearly because of 

 the knowledge that the older man had 

 just offered many thousands of dollars 

 for a property he thought worth a little 

 more. 



Various Notes. 



Edward Reid has returned from 

 abroad. 



Myers & Samtman have purchased 

 fifteen acres of ground adjoining their 

 place at Chestnut Hill. 



William Berger's Sons have com-

Sydney H. Bayersdorfer thinks that 

 the merit of the imported basket lies 

 in its being inexpensive. The florist 

 can sell flowers in a basket — he does 

 not have to sell the basket.
