Flowers for the Easter Parade 



No Easter costume is complete without its corsage of flowers. 

 Riving it just that dainty touch and finish that make it per- 

 fect. Some want the very choicest, some medium priced and 

 some cheaper flowers, but the majority— the masses— want the 

 moderate priced flowers, which we will have in ail&ntity.

Sweet Peas. 



It has been suggested that a few 

 lines on the market requirements for 

 sweet peas as cut flowers would be of 

 interest. So it happens that this re- 

 quest recurred when Leo Niessen was 

 talking of the fine quality of the orchid 

 peas one afternoon this week. The 

 question was put to him, "What colors 

 should be sought and what colors avoid- 

 ed in selecting sweet peas for forcing 

 for cut flowers!" Mr. Niessen replied 

 after a moment's thought: "Fully fifty 

 per cent should be of the Christmas 

 pink, the balance of bright, clear colors. 

 The undecided colors should be avoid- 

 ed." It would be hard to improve on 

 this brief, clear answer. 



Mr. Faust's Lilies. 



. It is a pleasure to go through the 

 lily houses with Henry I. Faust, of 

 Merion. He takes such a happy pride 

 in the beautiful stock he has produced 

 that to hear him talk about the culture 

 of his plants adds to the pleasure of 

 the visits. The lilies are so well grown 

 that they have required no sorting or 

 moving about; stakes seem almost 

 superfluous and the timing is wellnigh 

 perfect. The appearance of those 

 "ouses of Lilium giganteum is that of a

field of buds so even that were a sheet 

 laid upon it the sheet would rest on 

 every plant. Mr. Faust has added 

 other Easter stock, notably azaleas, to 

 his list, but he considers them all as 

 side lines to the lilies, saying they re- 

 quire little skiJI, the cultural work be- 

 ing done before they reach him. 



Norwood in March. 



An immense automobile truck, capa- 

 ble of holding goodness knows how 



many pots of plants, has been plying 

 steadily back and forth across the line 

 that divides Delaware and Philadelphia 

 counties. This truck takes the place 

 of ever so many teams and small cars 

 that formerly were used to convey the 

 Easter plants of the Robert Craig Co. 

 from the new place at Norwood to the 

 sales place at Forty-ninth and Market 

 streets. It is evidently doing the work 

 well, as Forty-ninth and Market streets 

 is steadily gaining in blooming stock
