PHILADELPHL«L 



The Market* 



We are passing through a period of 

 depression, with great quantities of flow- 

 ers on the street at ridiculously low 

 prices. Carnati'ms suffer most, with val- 

 ley. Paper Whites, other bulbous ilow- 

 ers and violets coming next. The fakirs 

 bought eagerly but found it extremely 

 difficult to unload, there being Jittle 

 demand. People have given their pres- 

 ents and are not spending money now, 

 barring a few entertainments. 



The First Assembly. 



Philadelphia broke away from her old 

 traditions when the first Assembly Ball, 

 held last Friday evening, was transferred 

 from the Academy of Music to the new 

 Bellevue-Stratford Hotel. The ball room 

 is a magnificent affair, affording great 

 opportunities for the decorators, J, J. 

 Habermehl's Sons, to show their skill, 

 of which they took full advantage. The 

 stage was decorated in white, Easter 



lilies and lilacs being freely used. Aza- 

 leas, poinsettias. Beauties and choibe 

 specimen palms were features of the ball 

 room and approaches, the idea being to 

 use only the finest material and to use it 

 in moderation. The effect was dazzlingly 

 brilliant. 



The Florists' Qub. 



The January meeting of the club was 

 marred by the snow storm, which raged 

 with the fierceness of a blizzard. The at- 

 ^ tendance was meaner, even the usually 

 * reliable secretary being among the absent, 

 and with him, unfortunately, were the 

 books of record. 



In direct contrast to the shortcomings of 

 the home florists, two out-of-town grow- 

 ers braved the storm to be present. They 

 were C. W. Ward, of Queens, Long Is- 

 land, and J. L. Dillon, of Bloomsburg. 

 The former brought some half-dozen 

 bunches of his finest seedlings, amon^ 

 them Eobert Craig, the famous scarlet,, 

 and a white of extraordinary size. Mr. 

 Dillon brought a bunch of Crisis, bis 

 fine scarlet. 



These notes may seem a little meager.
