J. J. Habermehrs Sons had the principal 

 share of this work, which is of special 

 interest, as it always closely precedes the 

 active opening of the festive season so 

 earnestly desired. 



Variotu Notes. 



William J. Baker is receiving some ex- 

 ceptionally fine yellow daisies, worthy 

 of special mention. 



H. H. Battles had the decorations for 

 a large wedding at Mauch Chunk this 

 week. 



•John Berger and William P. Craig 

 paid a visit to Stockton & Howe, Prince- 

 ton, X. J., recently. They report that 

 the place has been practically doubled in 

 size during the season and that the stock 

 is in the pink of condition. Bride, 

 Bridesmaid, Liberty, Beauty and Kich- 

 mond are, I think, the varieties grown. 

 The stock is handled by Berger Bros. 



B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., has re- 



turned from a trip south. He visited 

 Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Nor- 

 folk, and the Jamestown exposition. Mr. 

 Eschner is enthusiastic about Jamestown. 

 He thinks the exposition well worth a 

 visit, and would gladly have spent three 

 or four days there had time permitted. 



George A. Strohlein and family have 

 returned from their trip to Europe. 



F. Herbert Steinmetz is building up a 

 nice business at Eighth and Arch streets. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. has 

 installed a new cash register with the 

 latest improvements, which Mr. Hayden 

 says can do everything but speak. 



Eugene Bernheimer is receiving fancy 

 long-stemmed Beauties, in quantity, from 

 the Florex Gardens. 



W. E. McKissick is looking forward to 

 a prolongation of the aster season. He 

 is receiving exceptionally fine stock of the 

 Ostrich Plume variety. 



The Leo Niessen Co. reports a slow but 



steady improvement in business. The de- 

 mand for wild smilax is taken for an en- 

 couraging sign. The company will this 

 year handle the entire produce of many 

 of our leading specialists in various lines. 



J. Stern & Co. have received fresh im- 

 portations of fancy baskets this week. 



John Mclntyre is first in this market 

 with chrysanthemums, color yellow. 



The dahlia exhibition of the Pennsyl- 

 vania Horticultural Society was held on 

 Tuesday and Wednesday in Horticultural 

 hall. L. K. Peacock, of Atco, N. J., de- 

 livered an address Tuesday evening, 

 which was much enjoyed. 



W. W. Crawford says that his father's 

 carnations at Secane are in magnificent 

 condition this season, a pleasing contrast 

 to the plants housed last year. 



Ralph G. Faust, of the S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., reports a gratifying increase 

 in the florists' business as compared with 

 each month of last season. Phil. 



THE BLUE DAISIES. 



Blue flowers are always welcome, even 

 if of small size and more suited for the 

 rockery than the border, and the globu- 

 larias meet with favor from the vast 

 majority of those who see them, not only 

 because of their color, but also on ac- 

 count of the pretty globe-shaped flowers. 

 Some are not too small for the front of 

 the border, but the majority really look 

 more at home in the rock garden, where 

 their neat, daisy-like leaves and their 

 heads of flower are welcome when they 

 bloom in summer. 



Among the best known is Globularia 

 vulgaris, a good rock or border plant, 

 growing from six to twelve inches high, 

 and giving a plentiful supply of its 

 bright blue flowers from June to Au- 

 gust. There is also a scarcer white va- 

 riety, called Globularia vulgaris alba, 

 which some admire more than the blue, 

 probably because it is not so common, 

 although it can not be called any pret- 

 tier. 



All globularias like a free and open 

 soil, with some leaf-mold among the 

 loam, with also a little grit, sharp sand, 

 and some stones, says a writer in the 

 Gardeners' Magazine. They must not 

 be allowed to become too dry in sum- 

 mer.
