PHILADELPHIA. PA. 



thought that they would not last beyond 

 Easter. The medium and smaller sizes 

 are very fine. The novelty in palms, if 

 that term is permissible in a commercial 

 sense, is Phoenix Roebelenii, which five 

 years ago was so scarce and expensive 

 as to be almost unknown. It is now here 

 in moderate numbers. This palm is ex- 

 tremely graceful, with all the durability 

 of its family. It is seen in from 5-inch 

 to 7-inch pots and is worthy of careful 

 inspection. 



One of the gems of the collection is a 

 block of Cocos Weddelliana in 3 -inch 

 pots reserved for offering next fall in 

 4-inch or 5-inch pots. The plants are 

 perfectly developed, with the bloom of 

 perfect health. Do not misunderstand 

 me and cry : * * "What a liar 1 " I did 

 not say the cocos were blooming in 

 threes, but there is no word better 

 than "bloom" describes that gloss or 

 finish on the foliage that delights the 



heart of a grower. There were many 

 other fine lots of C. Weddelliana, all 

 bearing evidence that it is worth while 

 to sow the seed of this deep-rooting palm 

 in individual pots with a checkvalve in 

 the bottom of each. 



There is always a struggle going on 

 in every place between the growers, who 

 want the best plants of a small size re- 

 served for growing on, and the order 

 pickers, who want the best for the or- 

 ders they are filling. The interest of the 

 place one would naturally suppose would 

 require that the cream of the stock be 

 reserved for the specimens, yet as a 

 matter of fact it is rarely so, the case 

 of the cocos being an exception. I 

 hope some day it may be the rule. 



The dahlia roots are an interesting 

 sight. Tall bins arranged in rows, each 

 bin labeled with the name of the variety, 

 on the front of each row a list of the 

 varieties to be found in that row, the 



whole reminding one strongly of a well 

 arranged public library. The room is 

 frost proof. The dahlia is one of these 

 happy neutral grounds in which grower 

 and order picker can meet in harmony. 

 'Cause why? The little bulbs do just as 

 well for propagating. Phil. 



Various Notes. 



The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. has a 

 novelty this week in Acacia pubescens. 

 These graceful yellow blossoms are much 

 prized for table decorations. White vio- 

 lets, another specialty of this company, 

 are especially fine just now. 



Fred Brown, who has for the last two 

 years been manager of the Bellevue- 

 Stratford store of J. J. Habermehl's 

 Sons, left January 23, to take charge of 

 the store of J. H. Dunlop, Toronto, Can- 

 ada. Mr. Bro\yn was very successful 

 while in this city. He had the courage 

 to attempt new and striking arrange- 

 ments, many of which made a decided 

 hit. He will be greatly missed. 



Mrs. R. E. Moir, of Brockton, Mass., 

 was a visitor in this city recently. 



The Leo Niessen Co. has been receiving 

 some superb freesias from L. B. Han- 

 cock, of Burlington, N. J. 



Charles E. Meehan, George L. Pennock 

 and Alfred Burton visited the rose and 

 carnation establishments at Briar CliflE 

 and Scarborough recently. 



Henry F. Michell has returned from 

 Florida. 



Victor Groshens has purchased a farm 

 adjoining that of Edward Towill, at 

 Roslyn, Pa. 



A. Harvey & Sons, of Brandywine 

 Summit, are sending exceptionally fine 

 mignonette to the Leo Niessen Co. 



S. A. Anderson and Mrs. Anderson, of 

 Buffalo, N. Y., were visitors in this city 

 last week. 



Samuel S. Pennock, Edward A. Stroud, 

 William P. Craig, George Chandler, Will- 

 iam Swan, Thomas Beattie, Paul Berko- 

 witz and a member of the firm of A. Har- 

 vey & Sons were present at the Toronto con- 

 vention of the A. C. S. last week. Mr. Pen- 

 nock, after commenting on the business 

 points of excellence in the exhibition, 

 said in his joyous way that there was 

 one thing he wanted to mention especial- 

 ly, and that was that the color commit- 

 tee, consisting of W. N. Rudd, C. W.
