celving bunches of wild cherry, gum and

M. Rice & Co. find that the buyers 

 are almost uniformly increasing their 

 orders over those of last season. 



Paul Berkowitz returned from a two 

 weeks ' business trip last Monday. A 

 glance at his joyous face was enough. 



The Philadelphia Carnation Co., Robt. 

 Crawford, Jr., and Harry Crawford, has 

 its houses in splendid condition for the 

 coming season. It has added several 

 acres of ground for soil, etc. The 

 mushroom beds are already under way. 



Harry Bayersdorfer has five large con- 

 signments on diflferent steamers in this 

 week. Ho hopes to be in his new build- 

 ing by November 1. 



Violets have been in this market for 

 two weeks. They are of only fair qual- 

 ity but seem to sell. 



A. B. Cartledge is off on a two weeks' 

 cruise in his yacht. 



Every florist knows that Victor Gros- 

 sans presides over the destinies of 

 Logan. In fact, that Logan, without 

 Mr. G. would be like the play of Ham- 

 let with the principal actor omitted. 

 Imagine, then, the surprise of one of 



the profession this week when on in- 

 quiring for Mr. Grossans of a hammer 

 and saw man working in front of one 

 of the houses, he was told : ' ' Don 't 

 know any such person. ' ' 



Thomas B. Fitzgerald, of Beaver, Pa., 

 has been spending several days in this 

 city as a guest of his former lieutenant, 

 Wm. C. Harry, of the Sign of the Rose. 

 He has visited the growers, shops and 

 supply houses, spent a day at Riverton 

 and another at Atlantic City. Mr. Fitz- 

 gerald is a firm believer in himself, in 

 the best of everything and in the future 

 of western Pennsylvania. 



The Coming Season. 



The season of 1906-07 which may 

 properly be said to begin at Thanksgiv- 

 ing aay, November 29, will end on Ash 

 Wednesday, February 13. This makes 

 the season two weeks shorter than last 

 year. These facts are of special in- 

 terest at this time, oecause last year's 

 records show that most of our growers 

 allowed their plants of roses, carnations, 

 violets, etc., to bloom too freely during 

 the mild fall, and as a consequence they 

 cut very few flowers during midwinter. 



While r.o two seasons are alike, these 

 facts borne in mind may help some of 

 us to secure the best possible results 

 from our plants. 



The People's Gardens. 



Oglesby B. Paul, landscape gardener 

 of Fairmount park, has evidently made 

 up his mind that there shall be no waste 

 space under the ample roof of Horticul- 

 tural hall. It was recorded in these 

 columns last year that the big room at 

 the southwest corner where on summer 

 afternoons Prof. Rothrock was wont to 

 gather the faithful, had been converted 

 into a cactus house. Now the superin- 

 tendents' and park guards' offices at 

 the south entrance have been removed, 

 the houses next them extended and their 

 place covered by beds for miscellaneous 

 plants. The houses at the north end 

 have been likewise extended, so that 

 there remains practically no waste space 

 except the landscape gardener's oflBce, 

 which will probably remain. 



A charge noted by every visitor is 

 the failure to record time on the. east 

 or Schuylkill river terrace of the hall 

 this season. For thirty years the ccn-
