hardy little pteris type, and some little 

 asparagus by way of variety. The 

 place looked so v^ell that you couldn't 

 help feeling that when business begins 

 in earnest the stock will go out with 

 a rush. 



Various Notes. 



The Robert Craig Co. has a beau- 

 tiful show of Christmas flowering and 

 foliage plants, rich in every hue and 

 color, on view in the place at Forty- 

 ninth and Market streets. 



Recent visitors include representa- 

 tives of Wadley & Smythe, Malandre 

 Bros, and Schloss Bros., all of New 

 York; J. Fallon, Roanoke, Va.; M. C. 

 Ebel, Madison, N. J., who came to look 

 after the interests ctf the National Gar- 

 deners' Association, which meets here 

 December 9 and 10, and a delightful 

 representative of C. C. Morse & Co., 

 whose lodging calculations were upset 

 by the Army and Navy crowds. 



Paul Berkowitz's jolly smile is seen 

 here this week, after a prolonged ab- 

 sence in the west, where, it is pleasant 

 to record, he met with a hearty recep- 

 tion. 



A. R. Bauer & Son, Chesilhurst, N. J., 

 are sending fine Crane and Nonin to 

 Berger Bros. 



Joseph G. Neidinger has this week 

 received heavy shipments of statice and 

 ruscus. 



Arthur A. Sheldon was the star at- 

 traction at the December meeting of 

 the Florists' Club, where he spoke on 

 business building and had a crowded 

 house. 



Henry A. Dreer, Inc., has invited the 

 National Gardeners' Association to 

 visit Riverton next week. 



George D. Clark has had a great bulb 

 season. 



Edward Reid is receiving superb car- 

 nations in the leading varieties. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has an 

 exhibit at the food show at the Read- 

 ing terminal. F. J. Michell is pleased 

 with the bulb season. 



The M. Rice Co. has a clever little 

 novelty in the form of red auto 

 wreaths, on which they have been 

 flooded with orders of late. This is a 

 small wreath, six inches in diameter, 

 which is designed for use in automo- 

 biles at Christmas time, decorated with 

 some red ribbon. Phil. 



Ashton, IlL — Oscar Schade has erected 

 a greenhouse, 24x100 feet. Only vege- 

 tables will be grown the first year; 

 flowers may be added later. 



SOWING SHASTA DAISY SEED. 



I should like to know whether I can 

 sow Shasta daisy seed now in the 

 greenhouse, then pot the seedlings in 

 2%-inch pots and put them in cold- 

 frames until spring, when I would set 

 them out. I should like to start about 

 5,000 plants with as small an outlay as 

 possible. If you know of a better way 

 to go about this, your advice will be 

 appreciated. P. J. Q. 



Yes, you can start the Shasta daisies 

 now if you wish, but J would prefer to 

 wait until January 1. You can pot 

 them oflf as suggested and the plants 

 can go into coldframes by the middle 

 or end of March, especially if you place 

 a few inches of warm manure, well 

 tramped, below them. You will get 

 good plants before spring sales begin. 

 Chrysanthemum maximum King Ed- 

 ward VII is the finest of the Shasta 

 daisies, and I would advise you to try 

 at least some of it; Alaska is also 

 good. C. W. 



Beatrice, Neb The opening of the 



Dole Floral Co. was enlivened by a 

 Victrola concert in the evening. The 

 new icebox was filled and the store well 

 decorated.
