The Market. 



This week, from Halloween t« Guy 

 Fawkes' day, has been trying. There are 

 a great many flowers and not much busi- 

 ness. This lowered prices. Chrysanthe- 

 mums worth $4 a dozen the week be- 

 fore brought 20 cents each. The $3 a 

 dozen grade sold for 15 cents and the $2 

 a dozen grade for 10 cents. This gives a 

 general idea of conditions. 



Orchids are an exception. They are 

 really scarce; so are gardenias and so, 

 too, Beauties, thanks maybe to the 

 Christmas crop. 



Bouvardia Humboldtii and the single 

 pink have appeared and yellow daisies- 

 and an odd bunch of Paper White 

 narcissi. 



Dahlias, supposed to have disap- 

 peared, had one more week from a few 

 favored patches, finer than ever, but an- 

 other hard rap from Jack has probably 

 finished them this time. 



Mr. Feimock Beturns. 



Samuel S. Pcnnock arrived in Xew 

 York November 4. He was met outside 

 by a wireless from Secretary John 

 Young, inviting him to dinner at the 

 Pennsylvania hotel, to be given in his 

 honor that day. About sixty of the 

 leading men of New York gathered to 

 greet the incoming executive. When 

 Mr. Pennock reached his Philadelphia 

 headquarters on Ludlow street on the 

 following morning, Saturday, November 

 5, he received an inspiring reception. 

 The word, "Welcome," in large letters 

 in glowing electricity, confronted him as 

 he entered the door, while his private 

 oflSce and the room above were taste- 

 fully decorated with flags and greens. 

 Best of all, smiling faces and out- 

 stretched hands showed that friends 

 were glad he had come. 



Horticultural Society Show. 



The Pennsylvania Horticultural So- 

 ciety opened wide the doors at the 

 Academy of Music Monday afternoon, 

 November 7, upon a show whose glories 

 proclaimed the reign of peace. There 

 was color, there was variety, there was 

 profusion. Given these essentials for a 

 successful show, the pleasure of the 

 large attendance is assured. 



The academy has been floored from 

 stage to parquet circle. The great space 

 is laid out in a garden scene, with many 

 colored beds and curving walks. The 

 balconies above are draped with wild 

 smilax and adorned with oak leaves. 

 The immense chandelier sheds a soft 

 light over this floral loveliness, below 

 which tier on tier of tiny lights from 

 the balconies above twinkle like tiny 

 stars. 



The central group and a nearby rival 

 are of orchids arranged on a rockery by 

 artists' hands. Another group of rare 

 beauty is of Lilium giganteuin and 

 tigrinum and of valley. 



The autumn (pieen rules every- 

 where, but does not love solitude. There 

 are specimens in all known classes and 

 cut blooms and pompons. Other flower- 

 ing plants and a large assortment of
