Progress. 



It was mentioned in tlie Kkvikw ex- 

 clusively, 1 tliink, that S. S. Pennook 

 had taken possession of his new quar- 

 ters in time for tlie Ciiristmas rush. The 

 workmen were swept back on Thursday 

 before Ciiristmas to make room for the 

 great quantities of choice stock shipped 

 in for the holidays. After New Year's, 

 however, the workmen reclaimed the new 

 building. Tliey have been engaged since 

 then in ]»utting on the finishing touches, 

 but now everything is in readiness for 

 the opening, wliidi is expected to take 

 place next Monday, January 22. The 

 new buildings are' 1608 and 1610 Lud- 

 low street, immediately adjoining num- 

 bers 1612 to 161S, now occupied by Mr. 

 Pennock '.s wholesale establishment. The 

 partition has been taken away, adding 

 a Hoor space of about 44x60 to the al- 

 readv largo area. Mr. I'ennock's private 

 office is in the front of the new addi- 

 tion. It is comfortable, convenient and 

 well liglited. A freight elevator is 

 among the improvements of the new 

 building. A basement covering the en- 

 tire space will be used as a storeroom. 

 The rooms in the upper stories have all 

 been rented as work-shops. Mr. Pennock 

 is to be congratulated on his enterprise 

 in so quickly turning a rather unsightly 

 building into a neat and attractive place 

 of business. 



Various Notes. 



An esteemed correspondent of a con- 



temporary warmly and deservedly praises 

 the number and loveliness of Alfred Bur- 

 ton 's Beauties. Had this E. C. only 

 taken time to stroll from the north to 

 the south side of Willow Grove avenue, 

 Wyndinoor, he would there have found 

 that the Beauties produced by George 

 Burton were bearing flowers no less num- 

 erous and fully as beautiful as those of 

 liis brother. There are two Richmonds 

 in tlie field. 



•J. D. Eisele, vice-president of the 

 Henry A. Dreer Co., sailed for Europe 

 on January 16 on a flying business trip. 



W. E. McKissick 's fine grade of Avild 

 smihix is much sought after. He has had 

 some large orders from prominent decora- 

 tors. 



Herbert Steinmctz took charge of a 

 store on Eighth street, below Arch, early 

 this month. This store was for many 

 years run by Eugene Weiss. Mr. Weiss, 

 it is said, will devote his attention to 

 ills rose farm at llatboro. 



Lemuel Ball, of Wissinoming, says that 

 his Christmas, lasting throughout the fall, 

 was very satisfactory. He was success- 

 ful in coloring Dracaena terminalis in 

 4-inch pots bettor than ever before. 



John Burton, assignee for Robert 

 <'taig & Son, transferred the property at 

 Forty-ninth and Market streets to 

 Robert A. Craig on January 10. It is 

 understood that Robert A. Craig will, in 

 turn, transfer this property to the new 

 Robert Craig Company. 



J. G. Wlhilldin went to New York on 

 Wednesday to act as a government wit- 

 ness in deciding the value of some pot- 

 tery imports. 



The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving white 

 tulips and freesia. 



John Jensen, of West Philadelphia, 

 has been cutting scarlet tulips since 

 Christmas, and yellow tulijis early in 

 January. 



Frank Ely reports that some varieties 

 of aster, cosmos and sweet peas are 

 likely to be scarce. He believes that his 

 firm, the Henry F. Michell Co., will have 

 jdenty of all these seeds, their new crop 

 being safely in the warehouse. 



John Leech has resigned his position 

 at Twenty-second and Diamond streets. 



J. A. Smith, of H. F. Michell Co., re- 

 turned on Tuesday from a very success- 

 ful trip through Pennsylvania. 



The Whilldin Pottery Co. had a larger 

 stock on hand January 1 than ever be- 

 fore in its history. They are now run- 

 ning short on some sizes of pots. It is 

 oidy fair to add that this is the com- 

 pany '3 first year with the Review.

Indianapolis, Ind. — Florists here 

 have had the best business on record, 

 but now it is rather slack. 



Peoria, III. — Eleven firms were rep- 

 resented at a meeting at the store of 

 Cole Bros. January 8, at which it was 

 decided to invite the Illinois State Flo- 

 rists' Association to meet here in Febru- 

 ary. 



Muskogee, I. T. — J. L. Knisley, man- 

 ager of the Muskogee Nursery Co., 

 states that the call for cut flowers and 

 pot plants has become so great that the 

 company has decided to erect a range of 

 greenhouses in the spring.
