building in which the Kcnnicott Bros, 

 Co. is located and where Lubliner & 

 Triuz have their retail store. It is the 

 building in which the Florists' Club 

 meets on the second Thursday of each 

 month and where the Retail Florists' 

 Association meets on the fourth Thurs- 

 day. The building is already partly oc- 

 cupied by the Field business. Eventu- 

 ally it will be entirely given over to it. 

 >Vith the addition of' this property, the 

 Field estate owns the entire square with 

 the exception of the sixteen-story Trade 

 building, the basement of which is occu- 

 pied by E, C. Amling. 



W. L. Palinsky is preparing to erect 

 two houses early in the spring, each 

 20x100, to be devoted to pot-plants. 



Emil Buettner has a deep pink sport 

 of Enchantress of which he has suffi- 

 cient stock so that the cut flowers are 

 being marketed. The center of the 

 flower is a rich pink, the edges of the 



petals retaining the Enchantress color. 

 It makes a very attractive combination. 



PHILADELPHIA, 



The Market. 



Prices have a downward tendency, the 

 quantity of flowers thLs week being much 

 larger than last, while business is lighter. 

 Beauties are still far from plentiful, 

 prices having weakened but little on 

 really good stock. The other strong items 

 on the list are sweet peas (S. S. Pen- 

 nock's fancy colors continue to lead the 

 market, while the general average of 

 quality is high) and orchids, the Leo 

 Niessen Co. having some exquisite pink 

 and white sprays, greatly prized for 

 choice work. White flowers have been 

 in demand on several days, ordinary car- 

 nations and short-stemmed Bride roses 

 realizing good prices. Fancy carnations 



have been in oversupply, but they are 

 so good that most of them can be sold 

 at fair prices. The greatest decline has 

 been in bulbous stock, the arrival of 

 southern daffodils causing a break in 

 the price of greenhouse-grown flowers. 



Qub Meeting. 



It was rose night at the Florists' Club 

 Tuesday evening, March 6. The western 

 belle, Miss Kate Moulton, left Minne- 

 apolis Saturday, arriving here Tuesday. 

 The rose growers came to welcome her. 

 Glendale and J. E. Haines carnations 

 were also present, from W. J. & M, 8. 

 Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind.. and John 

 Haines, Bethlehem, Pa. After the read- 

 ing of Paul Huebner's paper on railroad 

 gardening, Antoiue Wintzer spoke inter- 

 estingly on cannas. P. Joseph Lyncli 

 made a brilliant plea for the American 

 rose, asking for it the support of every 

 rose grov.er. The attendance was large. 



A New Department. 



It is generally known that the great 

 establishment of the Henry A. Dreer 

 Co., at Biverton, X. J., is divided into 

 a half dozen or more departments. The 

 palm foreman struggles with the fern 

 foreman to secure some much coveted 

 space in the latter 's houses needed for 

 shifting young kentias, while the man 

 in charge of the soft -wooded stock makes 

 an earnest plea for a few benches needed 

 by the man who grows the perennials. It 

 requires ^no small diplomacy to settle 

 these matters, and in future even more 

 diplomacy will be required, for a new 

 department has been added at River- 

 ton. Two large greenhouses were finished
