Carnation Night in Philadelphia. 



The next meeting of the Florists' Club 

 of Philadelphia will be Carnation night, 

 the date of which is Tuesday, February 

 5. John E, Haines, the carnation expert 

 of Bethlehem, Pa., will deliver a paper 

 on his experiences with carnations. 



Exhibits of all meritorious novelties 

 are invited by the committee in charge 

 and it is to be hoped all the very best 

 will be on hand, so that the progressive 

 florists of Philadelphia — the horticultural 

 center of the country — may have an op- 

 portunity of examining them carefully, 

 and as a consequence placing their gen- 

 erous orders for those which meet their 

 fancy. Please ship prepaid care David 

 Rust, Horticultural hall, Broad street 

 above Spruce, Philadelphia, Pa., and 

 they will be properly taken care of upon 

 arrival. It would be better to forward 

 them a day sooner than' is sometimes 

 thought necessary, so that they may be 

 sure to arrive on time, as on former oc- 

 casions some shipments from a distance 

 have been delivered a day late. 



All interested in carnations are in- 

 vited to be present, whether or not they 

 have superior varieties to exhibit.

The Market. 



The cut flower trade has remained 

 steady during the last week, although the 

 weather was disagreeable. No sunshine 

 and plenty of rain shortened up the sup- 

 ply of roses and violets. Prices remain 

 about the same as quoted last week. 

 Quite a lot of society work was made up 

 among the uptown florists; also consid- 

 erable funeral work was reported at the 

 downtown florists'. At the wholesale 

 houses Monday morning carnations were 

 plentiful and at reduced prices in large 

 lots. Stock is all of fine quality. 



Roses were not plentiful. Beauties are 

 scarce' in all grades. The same may be 

 said of Bride, Maid, Richmond and oth- 

 ers. There are more violets than the 

 demand calls for. Should we have bright
