Paper Whites keep moving at $3 per

 Majors are ia and $3 per hundred is the 

 average priee.^ Stevia is getting scarce 

 and the price has advanced. Plenty of 

 good smilax and other green goods are 

 on the market. 



Varioui Notes. 



August Manke is now coming to town 

 in a brand new wagon hooked up to a 

 fine team of horses. It was built to 

 order, light, roomy and strong and is 

 well adapted for his daily eight-mile 

 drives to the city.

 convention at Toronto.

PHILADELPHIA, 



The Rising Eastern Market. 



The first week of January, 19U7. has 

 been marked by extraordinary climatic 

 conditions, the weather sometimes damp 

 and cloudy, at other times clear and 

 sunny, resembling spring far more than 

 midwinter. These conditions, inunedi- 

 ately succeeding the activity of the holi- 

 days, has caused a depression in the cut 

 flower market. There has not been the 

 snap to business that might reasonably 

 be expected with the amount of enter- 

 taining now in progress incident to the 

 short season. Some of the stock coming 

 in town has suffered seriously, owing, 

 probably, to the extra heat to which the 

 plants have been subjected before the 

 unlooked-for warm spell. Violets have 

 felt the unfavorable conditions more, 

 perhaps, than any other flowers. Beau- 

 ties have shortened considerably. There 

 B evidence that a sharp coM spell would 

 decimate the cut now coming into the 

 city. Tea roses have suflFere<l from the 

 warm weather, their color and texture 

 not being up to standard. Carnations 

 have fallen a little in price. They are 

 fairly plentiful and some magnificent 

 flowers are seen. The additions to the 

 list are Trumpet Major, which can now 

 be had in quantity; freesia, Camper- 

 nelles, and white lilac; the last named 

 can be had in quantity from now on, 



TO THE TRADE ! 



We desire to call your attention to the 



SPLENDID QUALITY of STOCK 



Now being received by us. We are heavily on crop with Bride, 

 Bridesmaid and Richmond Rosea of unsurpassed quality. 



The same can be said of Carnations, as our Enchantress, Law- 

 son, Cardinal, Mrs. Nelson, Lady Bountiful and Boston 

 Market are the finest to be had on this market. Also an abundant 

 supply of all other stock of good quality. 



We are in a possition to fill your orders completely. Why 

 send elsewhere to learn latter that you were not furnished with what 

 you had ordered? Therefore, if you wish to avoid dibappointments 

 and want your orders filled satisfactorily, send them to us and you 

 will be more than pleased that you did so.

until the close of the social season. A 

 noticeable feature in the market condi- 

 tions is the increase in the quantity of 

 gardenias. They are now very fine and 

 plentiful. The demand for greens has 

 received an impetus from the decorators, 

 who are using strings of smilax and 

 asj)aragus in quantity. 



A G)mio2 Fern. 



The plant market of the world, and 

 more especially of this country, is never 

 so crowded with goo<l stock that there 

 is not room at the top for really merito- 

 rious novelties. When the Boston fern 

 was introduced, no one would have be- 

 lieved that so many good varieties, 

 springing from this popular favorite, 

 would be found and accepted in so short 

 a time. Yet five successors have each in 



its turn been welcomed as having some 

 distinct advantage over the parent va- 

 riety. It remains for the present year 

 to see the introduction of another sport 

 from the nephrolepis family that bids 

 fair to easily eclipse all the older vari- 

 eties. • 



Through the courtesy of Wm. P. 

 Craig, Phil was invited to see Nephro- 

 lepis Amerpohlii growing in a house on 

 the Robt. Craig Co. 's place at Forty- 

 ninth and Market streets. This beauti- 

 ful fern seems destined to play a most 

 important part, both as a plant and as a 

 green for cutting. The fronds are large, 

 full, and are exquisite as a piece of 

 lace, the under side being almost as 

 beautiful as the upper. Mr. Craig has 

 been fortunate in securing one-half the 

 stock of this promising novelty, whica
