timent of the day. The reply of the 

 wholesalers is that the price is fixed by 

 the law of supply and demaatJ.- There 

 were nowhere near enough white car- 

 nations to fillthe orders at the advanced 

 price, even after every avenue of sup- 

 ply had been drawn upon. The whole- 

 salers further say that most young men 

 would not consider 15 cents or even 20 

 cents an exorbitant price to pay for a 

 fresh white carnation on Mothers' day, 

 nor would a girl feel that it was ex- 

 cessive. Both young girls and young 

 men often spend more for things of 

 much less account, without regret. The 

 wholesalers think that the solution of 

 the problem lies in pushing other flow- 

 ers and that the retailers can solve this 

 problem to the satisfaction of all con- 

 cerned if they wish to do so. 



The Opening of the Season. 



II'' • , ■ . 



It is a joke in trolley circles that a 



line leading from noplace to nowhere is 

 one of the best paying lines operated by 

 the P. E. T. This is the Midvale and 

 Frankford. People get on and off every- 

 where and disappear into the village 

 or country. By getting off at Second 

 street pike and trotting a few blocks 

 south you come to the Aschmann place. 

 The place carries out, in some respects, 

 H. H. Battles' idea of a mart. The front 

 entrance is entirely blocked by an as- 

 sortment of spring bedding plants se- 

 lected for the buyers who are clustered 

 about them, so it is necessary to go in 

 the back way. A stroll through the 

 greenhouses shows two things: First, 

 that the entire Easter stock has been 

 replaced by as pretty a lot of spring 

 plants as one cpuld wish to see, and, 

 secondly, that the buyers have not yet 

 succeeded in making inroads to any ap- 

 preciable extent on these j,-ffell filled 

 houses of bedding stock. 



From Father to Sons. 



J. William Colflesh's Sons are justly 

 proud of their father 's honored name in . 

 floriculture. ' ' Established forty-two 

 years ' ' is the way they express it. They 

 have kept up the place in fine shape. 

 A new King house, two Lord & Burn- 

 ham houses, a fine lot of Iiydrangeas in 

 bud, a general collection of spring plants 

 and a wonderful lot of English ivies at- 

 test this. Those ivies are great; in 

 3-inch pots by the thousand, in 4-inch 

 and 5-inch by the hundred. Then there 

 are the trellises, the umbrellas and the 

 standards in ivies just as in roses. There 

 were a lot M other interesting things. 

 One was a house of a fern for cutting, 

 Polystichum Capense, highly prized 

 down the street.
