has, strange to say, been little doing 

 in funeral work during the last two 

 weeks. Each store has more or less 

 the appearance of a flower show. The 

 gorgeous chrysanthemum blossoms in 

 a mass of color give the patrons a 

 great deal of pleasure. White Queen 

 deserves all the praise it gets, while 

 Polly Rose, Chrysolora, Pink Pearl, 

 Early Snow and Pacific Supreme are 

 other great favorites. 



Eoses, particularly Killarney and 

 White Killarney, are in strong supply. 

 There is also plenty of My Maryland, 

 Mrs. Taft, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Mrs. 

 Shawyer, Lady Hillingdon and Rich- 

 mond. Beauties are of good color and 

 quality. Milady seems to have been 

 off color of late, and somewhat soft. 

 Violets are selling better now. Car- 

 nations are a little more plentiful in 

 pink and white, but red is scarce. Gar- 

 denias and orchids are in fair supply 

 and there is a little bouvardia. Easter 

 lilies, callas and valley are plentiful. 

 Cosmos is losing color and does not 

 sell well. Artemisias in yellow, red, 

 pink and lavender have sold nicely; 

 many have used them for basket work. 

 Tuberoses arc nearly over. The sup- 

 ply of green goods is fair. Araucarias 

 and boxwood are beginning to sell and 

 porch boxes are being filled. 



Various Notes. 



Schuyler Arnold, who is with a seed 

 house in Philadelphia, has been home 

 sick with tonsilitis. 



H. E. Bates, of the Lord & Burn- 

 ham Co., reports business for the

 Washington County Home, Arden, Pa., 

 and two houses 30x134 for William 

 Keene & Sons, Barnard, N. T,
