an artist to make those bulbs so attrac- 

 tive that people jostle and crowd each 

 other in order to see them, and their 

 purses fly open as though by magic to 

 secure some of these same bulbs. With 

 flowers this is not so extraordinarily 

 difficult as with bulbs, for nature in- 

 tended flowers to be beautiful, whereas 

 bulbs are merely the workers that pro- 

 duce beautiful eifects, and to make them 

 charming is a pretty difficult thing. 

 This has been accomplished at a seed 

 and bulb warehouse in this city where 

 the windows, scrupulously clean and 

 neat, are most effectively arranged with 

 ferns, green lights and Japanese figures, 

 all setting off to the best possible ad- 

 vantage a display of Chinese sacred 

 lilies and their kindred water-loving 

 bulb, Narcissus grandiflora Soleil d'Or, 

 These windows are the H. F. Michell Co. 's, 

 and to put the case algebraically, as 

 Charles Baxter is to Pennock Bros., so 

 Phil Freud is to Henry F. Michell. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Bayersdorfer, the merchant 

 prince of this city, is tremendously over- 

 worked at this time. He does not mind 

 this, but the unavoidable detention of 

 certain cases in the custom house, needed 

 to complete outgoing orders, is most 

 exasperating. 



Leo Niessen humorously describes the 

 situation by saying that the florists of 

 the universe have not yet been aroused. 

 The sun still rises in the east. 



Some of the visitors reported at M. 

 Bice & Co. this week were M. Johnston 

 and Mrs. Johnston, of Baltimore, Md.; 

 Bernard Hobbs, of Mann & Brown, 

 Richmond, Va. ; George Blind and Mrs.
