tion of John S. Hay, of the H. A. Dreer 

 Co., who asked the exhibitor the name. 

 The exhibitor replied that he intended to 

 call it the Improved Nephrolepis Piersoni. 

 Mr. Hay thought this would be a great 

 mistake and suggested that the exhibitor 

 call it after himself, so the fern was 

 named Nephrolepis Barrowsii, and under 

 this name the new claimant to popular 

 favor is progressing nicely. 



Variofif Notes. 



John Degnan, of the Cnicago Bose Co., 

 was in this city a fortnight ago, buying 

 supplies for his new concern. N. B. — 

 This note was delayed until Mr. Degnan 

 got safely home with the muffler which 

 he won in New York, not Philadelphia. 



W. & Harry F. Evans, of Eowland- 

 vUle, have begun cutting from their 

 wonderful Acacia pubescens, over which 

 they erected a new greenhouse a year or 

 two ago. This flower is much sought 

 after for its decorative effect. The Leo 

 Niessen Co. is handling the entire stock. 



The store, wagons, etc., of the Hugh 

 Graham Co., at 104 South Thirteenth 

 street, were last wees transferred to the 

 Wm. Graham Co., who are now carrying 

 on business at both this store and at their 

 own, a few doors further south. Wm. 

 Graham stated on Monday that he ex- 

 pected to carry on both stores until his 

 lease on the old store expires, when the 

 entire business will be carried on at 104 

 ,South Thirteenth street. The final dis- 

 position of the Hugh Graham Co. 's green- 

 houses at Logan has not yet been deter- 

 mined. 



M. Bice & Co. report the sale of their 

 new adjustable novelty baskets to be phe- 



nomenal; they are having a hard time 

 to keep up with the orders. 



The event of the week in wholesale 

 circles has been the opening of 8. 8. 

 Pennock's new building mentioned last 

 week. This occurred on Monday, and what 

 was intended as a quiet business 

 move developed into quite a social 

 feature, a gathering of over 100 doing 

 honor to the occasion. Addresses were 

 made by John Westcott, Bobert Baft, 

 Henry F. Michell and John Fowler, 

 Response was made by S. 8. Pennock 

 and Edwin Lonsdale sang his "Duke of 

 York." There were music and refresh- 

 ments. 



George Waterfield, of Wyndmoor, will 

 rebuild some of his houses the coming 

 season. Mr. Waterfield, formerly a tea 

 rose grower, has devoted his attention to 

 American Beauties this season. 



Clarence J. Watson was married on 

 Wednesday, January 24. His many 

 friends wish him happiness. 



H. H. Battles has been using calla 

 lilies and Adiantum Farleyense in com- 

 bination for table decorations. 



W. J. Baker has been handling a very 

 fine grade of freesia. 



W. E. McKissick has some fine varie- 

 ties of carnations not often seen, among 

 them Cardinal and Moonlight, both of 

 high grade. 



Jacob Andre, an employee of Charles 

 Fox, died last Friday. He was only 18 

 years of age. 



T. N. Yates & Co., of Mt. Airy, are 

 sending very fine Easter lilies to the 

 Flower Market. 



Edw. Reid believes that cooler weather 

 will tone up the carnations wonderfully. 



Eugene Bernheimer is making a suc- 

 cess of his new side issue, mushrooms. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. report many 

 orders already being booked for Easter. 



Wm. J. Muth says that business im- 

 proved as soon as he returned from his 

 trip. He does not say whether this was 

 the result of his coming home or whether 

 he used judgment in choosing the time 

 of his absence. Phil.

The Market 



Trade still holds up remarkably well, 

 and instead of falling off as is usually 

 the case at this season, so closely follow- 

 ing on the holidays, it shows a good in- 

 crease over the last week. The amount of 

 business done so far this month has 

 probably never been equaled by any pre- 

 vious January business in this city. The 

 wholesalers have not been able to sup- 

 ply the demand the past week and have 

 had to refuse many orders. All kinds of 

 good stock is bringing the best of prices. 

 Beauties are in great demand and fancy 

 carnations are retailing as high as $1.50 

 per dozen. The quality of stock being 

 sent in is unusually good. Ed Ellsworth, 

 at Geo. M. Kellogg 's, is receiving some 

 of the finest Enchantress carnations ever 

 seen on this market. The Marshall Field 

 funeral in Chicago last Friday caused 

 a small flower famine, the usual amount 

 of stock received from that city failing 

 to materialize. The only trouble here is 

 the lack of stock to fill the orders.
