Thanksgiving Observations. 



After fuller inquiry among my brother 

 florists I find without exception that 

 Thanksgiving business was good with all. 

 It may not be of sufficient importance to 

 salt down a heavy supply, a pernicious 

 and foolish trick for any day or event. 

 Sell at a good price when the demand 

 comes and you will be happier all-round, 

 and remember your customers will always 

 forget and forgive what at the moment 

 they may think an aristocratic price, but 

 seldom will forget that you sold them 

 old, off-colored flowers. 



Tlianksgiving is certainly not a plant 

 time because there is a dearth of nice 

 plants about then, yet from the turkey 

 day just passed we shall remember that 

 it will be wise to have a good supply of 

 all the leading flowers. W. J. Palmer 

 said all good flowers went quickly. Miss 

 Kachel Rebstock said mums and violets 

 appeared to be the favorites. S. A. An- 

 derson mentioned violets and valley as 

 his leading offerings. H. Keitsch & Son 

 made a specialty of fine mums and car- 

 nations. Louis H. Neubeck made a spe- 

 cialty of orchids, with Oncidium vari- 

 cosum Eogersii in the lead, and Mr. Bel- 

 sey, on the high-toned west side, had a 

 fine show of JCucharis Amazonica and 

 Lycaste Skinneri. Byrne Bros., on Del- 

 aware avenue, thought carnations were in 

 greatest demand. It is gtod to have a 

 variety, both in taste and supply. 



Various Notes. 



We were pleased a few days ago to 

 see S. S. Pennock, of Philadelphia. We 

 don't think this cultivated gentleman 

 was traveling for his health or to push 

 business. Wo may be mistaken, but we 

 think it was more a friendly call to say 

 how-do-you-do to that army of people 

 who do business with his house but never 

 saw his William Penn-like features and 

 his brotherly-love smile. 



Another pleasure was the return to 

 life of Walter Mott in the interest of 

 Bobbink & Atkins. Walter has been in 

 retirement for some years in the pretty 

 little city of Jamestown, but finding the 

 seed business there did not grow by 

 leaps and bounds he gave it up and is 

 back again at the old calling he knows 

 so well. 



Thanksgiving gave us a chance to test 

 the usefulness of the ".Ever Ready Pot 

 Cover," invented and manufactured by 

 William Grgever, who is in the employ 

 of W. J. Palmer & Son, of this city. We 

 believe this cover will fill a long-felt 

 want and save lots of valuable time and 

 labor. It will be at Christmas, Easter 

 and oth^r rush times that these ever 

 ready covers will be most appreciated.
