HENRY F. MICHELL CO. 



1018 Market Street, 



PHILADELPHIA. PA.

to the roof of the shed, the idea being 

 to insure against fire. The sides of the 

 boner-pit are of stone or concrete. The 

 other half of the shed, which is perhaps 

 40x75 feet, is for potting and loading 

 the wagons. The moving and building, 

 which occupied the entire summer and 

 part of the autumn, interfered with the 

 usual fall crop, but indications were 

 seen everywhere of a large output this 

 spring. There is a fine barn and plenty 

 of land, but even out here the place is 

 already bordered by a fringe of dwell- 

 ing houses. 



Various Notes. 



B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., returned 

 on Monday after a seven weeks' busi- 

 ness trip. Mr. Eschner says that he 

 never saw the country in more pros- 

 perous condition. His test of prosper- 

 ity is his order book. 



J. D. Eisele has returned to Riverton 



safe and sound, after a stormy passage 

 across the Atlantic. 



Berger Bros, move on Friday to their 

 new quarters, formerly occupied by Du- 

 mont & Co., 1305 Filbert street. They 

 take with them all their consignors and 

 present business and add the business 

 of the former tenants. Stockton & 

 Howell, of Princeton, N. J., are send- 

 ing them extra fine Brides and Brides- 

 maids. 



Frank Gaul, manager of the Century 

 Flower Shop, is ill with typhoid fever 

 at his home in Darby. Mr. Gaul has 

 many business friends who wish him a 

 speedy recovery. 



The managers of the Florex Gardens 

 are busily engaged receiving and stor- 

 ing the material for the mammoth new 

 house, which will cover an acre and a 

 half of ground. 



P. J. Lynch, secretary and treasurer 



of the Dingee & Conard Co., of West 

 Grove, Pa., will deliver an address be- 

 fore the Florists' Club in Horticultural 

 hall next Tuesday evening on the mail- 

 ing plant business. 



David Rust, chairman of the Florists ' 

 Club's house committee, laid the club- 

 room need for the sinews of war to pay 

 for a new bowling alley so persuasively 

 before the members that it was a 

 pleasure to vote for the necessary ap- 

 propriation. 



The Wm. Graham Co. has received 

 the entire orders for Easter plants from 

 two large department stores, John 

 Wanamaker and Gimbel Bros. It is 

 said that this will consume about one- 

 half the Hugh Graham Co. 's stock of 

 Easter plants at Logan. 



Herbert G. Tull, treasurer of the 

 Henry A. Dreer Co., reports an increase 

 over last February in their seed mail 

 orders. 



F. R. Matsinger, of Palmyra, N. J., 

 expects to retire from the ranks of the 

 growers. 



Arthur A. Niessen, secretary and 

 treasurer of the Leo Niessen Co., has 

 his office force domiciled in the second 

 story of the new building at 1209 Fil- 

 bert street. Mr. Niessen keeps in close 

 touch with every department of the 

 company's large business. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have a pretty 

 novelty in the so-called Japanese air 

 plant, or green sea moss, much prized 

 for its decorative beauty. Mr. Berko- 

 witz has just returned from another 

 flying trip. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. lays great 

 stress on having the store from front 

 window to back, always neat and at- 

 tractive.

Referring again to question No. 75, 



it is probable that should the lilies 



reach this market in perfect condition, 



they would average from $5 to $8 a 



hundred. The quotation given last 



week of $3 to $5 a hundred was based
