4900 Market St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



NORWOOD, PA. 



Mention The Review when yog writ>. 



among their customers and everyone 

 fared fairly well. Prices were not so 

 high as in previous years. Most of the 

 retailers made a great effort to get their 

 customers to use other flowers and suc- 

 ceeded well. Another year there will be 

 less trouble, it is believed. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams made up small 

 baskets of mixed flowers and advertised 

 them for Mothers ' day. It proved profit- 

 able and her customers were well satis- 

 fied. 



Cards appeared in many windows ad- 



vertiBing Mothers ' day. Som« read : 



Wear a flower Mothers' day; 

 A bright flower for a living iMother; 

 A white flower for a remembrance; 

 Any kind of a fiower Is appropriate. 



The A. W. Smith Co. says these 

 special days are getting better each 

 year. This year Mothers' day was much 

 better than in previous years. This 

 company specialized in dollar boxes of 

 flowers and had an enormous run on 

 them. 



The trouble over the shortage of car- 

 nations comes mostly from the small 

 shops and dealers who make little effort 

 to sell their customers the things they 

 can give them their money's worth of. 

 Many of the special day buyers only 

 know carnations, and most of them go 

 away because they have to pay three 

 tim«8 the regular, .price fjOi what they 

 want. 



The Botanical Society visited Neil 

 McCallum 's place at the West End park 



May 5. The members were introduced 

 to the immense display of hardy and 

 wild flowers collected here and found 

 Mr. McCallum a great host, with a 

 wonderful fund of knowledge and 

 stories about his friends the plants, 

 botanically, mythologically, medicin- 

 ally and otherwise, all of which proved 

 entertaining and instructive. 



P. S. Eandolph & Sons must have 

 found the plant business up to their ex- 

 pectations, as they are considering in- 

 creasing the size of their range. 



The J. S. Crall Co., of Monongahela, 

 reports that the sale of bedding plants 

 is on and indications are for a big clear- 

 ance. 



The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co. built a 

 large house last year and is consider-
