capable of acoonimoclating four or five 

 {Quests, Avhore many of our park super- 

 intendents and city foresters liave spent 

 several, days, rooming here and messing 

 with the owner and Mrs. Harper across 

 the road. The city guests enjoy this 

 glimpse of eountrj' life far more than 

 were they ]>ut uj) at a luxurious hotel, the 

 change is so complete. 



There is no graft in William Warner 

 Harper. It is an open secret that orders 

 have been lost or greatly reduced because 

 there was "nothing in it" for the 

 gardener in charge; but while this may 

 seoni, at first glance, poor policy, there is 

 no doubt that in the end it has proven 

 the Aviser course. The man who has 

 choice stock and will not stoo]) to mean 

 methods to dispose of it is certain to 

 ^vin the confidence of those with whom 

 he deals in the long run. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. ,T. !Nroore has vacated his office 

 in the Flower Market building, closing 



his wholesale commission business for 

 the season. 



M. Rice and Mrs. Rice arrived safely 

 in Hamburg April 19. 



H. A. Leech, formerly of Fernwood, 

 will open a retail flower store at 5022 

 Baltimore avenue. 



H. Bayersdorfcr and Mrs. Bayersdor- 

 fer arrived in Hamburg April 20. 



Southern daffodils are reaching this 

 market in better condition than at any 

 time during the season. 



The retail stores are largely affecting 

 pansies and daisies just noAv, both grow- 

 ing and as cut flowers. 



Baltimore and Washington bowlers 

 paid this city a visit last Friday. I am 

 entirely too busy to give you any de- 

 tails of the match. X. B.— This is the 

 way every business man treats a dis- 

 agreeable subject. 



John Burton's Chatenay are said, by 

 an expert who has seen them, to be some- 

 thing a little ahead of anything ever 



seen about liero in roses. The i)lants 

 are jiroducing in some cases four and 

 five ground slioots each. These shoots, 

 wluMi (li.shu(l(le<.i, l)reak strongly, produc- 

 ing high grade flowers. 



.lolui (inwen, of Berwyn, is sending 

 some fine Knciiantress, and I tiiink Bos- 

 ton Market, to the S. S. Pennock-Mee- 

 han Co. 



B. Eschiier, of M. Rice & Co., finds the 

 demand for their cemetery vase far bet- 

 ter, even, than last season, when this 

 novelty made a jironounced hit. 



William K. Harris is jjlanning what he 

 calls "a little building," not green- 

 houses, but half a dozen stores at Forty- 

 ninth street and Woodland avenue, 

 where ^Fr. Harris formerlv lived. 



L. .7. Renter, of Fifty-ei'ghth and Gib- 

 sou streets. West Philadelphia, is mak- 

 ing a specialty of Bouvardia llundtoldtii. 

 His Chatenay are in fine condition. 



Thad. N. Vates & Co. will grow .35,000 

 lilies, Harrisii, longifloruni, and Azores, 

 the coming season. 



W. K. McKissick has received some 

 yellow fressia, an acce|)tal>le novelty at 

 this season. He is also getting some 

 blue cornflower. 



Edward Reid 's advice to ' ' trust in the 

 Lord and keep moving" is being fol- 

 lowed bv Piiii..

The Market. 



Cold weather continues. Biting winds, 

 snow storms and frozen grounds have so 

 far been the lot of April, which has evi- 

 <lently taken the ])lace of March. Tlie 

 low temiieraturo has probably helped to 

 keep i)rices up a little, although more 

 flowers are arriving than the market 

 needs. Roses are abundant. Beauties of 

 good quality are ])lentiful, but not in 

 great request. Other roses are plentiful, 

 with no special change in prices. An- 

 other year will probably see more Rich- 

 monds and less Beauties grown, from 

 the way the former has forged its way 

 into a front ])lace. Carnations are still 

 of good quality. Enchantress so far 

 holds its color well and is the leader 

 still. Harry Fenn brings extra good 

 )>rices, the best flowers making .$.") pijr 

 hundred. Single violets are over, but a 

 fair number of doubles still arrive, niak
