that St. Patrick's day is the time to sow 

 both jowT grass and your sweet peas. 



P. Jos. Schembs has abandoned his 

 down-town annex, and will devote his 

 entire attention to his store at Seven- 

 teenth and Wallace streets. 



Edw. Eeid will distribute a larger and 

 finer stock of Easter plants than ever 

 before. One of Mr. Reid's customers 

 asked that a large number of Easter 

 lilies be reserved for him, stipulating 

 that they be as fine as last season. 



M. Rice & Co. are working overtime 

 trying to keep up with their orders. Mr. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



TJice informs me that from present in- 

 dications the Easter business will be 

 the largest this house has ever had. 



W'm. E. McKissick has secured addi- 

 tional space in the rear of his wholesale 

 establishment, where he will have his 

 office. This will be much more conven- 

 ient than the present arrangement with 

 the office over the salesroom. 



Laeroix & Rainbault have been send- 

 ing choice lilacs to this city throughout 

 the season. 



Jno. Lucas & Co. advise intending 

 tnirchasers of glass to take advantage 

 of the present iow market prices, as in- 

 dications point to an advance in price 

 by the end of the month. 



Geo. E. Campbell, of Flourtown, hopes 

 to erect a house 21x150 feet for the 

 Richmond rose the coming season. 



^Manager Kraus has succeeded Wm. 

 Thompson as charge d'affaires of the 

 Finley Acker Co. 's flower store. 



A prominent store in this city has been 

 making a specialty of artificial fernery 

 during the past winter. These ferneries 

 meet favor where plants won 't last. 



Frederick Brown, late of Toronto, 

 Canada, has been in charge of J. J. 

 Habermehl's store at the Bellevue-Strat- 

 ford during the past season. 



Wm. Harry, son of a Conshohocken 

 florist, is right hand man for Chas. H. 

 Fox at the Rosary. 



Geo. Redles addressed the German- 

 town Horticultural Society on Monday 

 evening. 



J. Otto Thilow and J. D. Eisele went 

 down to the new Dreer farm lately to 

 decide on the best fertilizers for that 

 particular soil. Phil. 



QNONNATL 



The Market 



After a period of showers and spring- 

 like weather, we are having a touch of 

 winter again, with the thermometer 

 around 22 degrees. This has had the 

 tendency of shortening up the supply 

 and consequently the prices have ad- 

 vanced. While rose? have at no time 

 been in excess of the demand, carna- 

 tions rolled in last week in very large 

 quantities and the price dropped. Now 

 there are not nearly so many of them 

 and they are not so soft. Other varie- 

 ties of stock are about the same as last 

 reported. Some very good double vio- 

 lets are to be had; also, lilies are in 

 heavier supply. Bulbous stock is selling 

 very well, especially good hyacinths and 

 tulips. Green goods are none too plen- 

 tiful. 



Gu^ation Show. 



On Saturday, March 10, our annual 

 carnation show was held, and it was a 

 daisy. There were a large number of 

 blooms on exhibition, our club rooms 

 being filled to the limit. Never have 

 I seen a collection of carnations of 

 better quality. The show was open to 

 the public from 3 to 8 p. m. and I will 

 venture to state that at least 4,000 peo- 

 ple passed through the hall. There was 

 a constant jam. Never have we had a 

 collection of blooms which was more 

 representative of the carnation industry 

 of the United States, as can be well seen 

 from the following list of exhibitors: 



From far-off Tarrytown-on-Hudson 

 came F. R. Pierson and his blooms ar-
