and there with white azaleas. The other 

 walls of the foyer were decked in green, 

 with white azaleas, and the whole mader 

 an exceedingly attracti%e picture. In 

 the ballroom the stage was the center- 

 piece of the' decorative scheme, and the 

 orchestra was concealed by palms and 

 various green foliage which extended 

 from the ballroom floor to the ceiling. 

 As in the foyer, poinsettias were used to 

 great advantage, and huge bunches of 

 American Beauties added to the color 

 effect. Azaleas and hyacinths were also 

 used to a certain extent at either end 

 of the stage. Large palms decorated 

 the balconies, but cut flowers were not 

 used there, as they would have obstructed 

 the view of those seated in. the boxes, 

 ihe three large dining-rooms which were 

 used for supper were tastefully decor- 

 :ited, and on each table were «^her 

 American Beauties or white lilacs, while 

 on a few the calla lilv formed the cen- 



terpiece. By the whole effect produced, 

 this firm has added another triumph to 

 its already long list of successes. 



Various Notes. 



There is a little holly still fo be seen 

 and it was used in quite a number of 

 decorations last week. 



Bayersdorfer & Co. are busy getting 

 out their orders for Easter supplies. The 

 steamer Marquette, which arrived Janu- 

 ary 6, was heavily loaded with some of 

 their novelties for Easter, 



Eugene Weiss, of Hatboro, has a fine 

 stock of carnation cuttings in the sand. 



"Billy" Stephen is wearing a broad 

 smile these days, which is a good sign 

 that everything is coming his way. 



M. Rice & Co. report that their busi- 

 ness increases each year, and from ad- 

 vance orders received so far, they see no 

 reason why the year 1908 should not be 

 a banner one. 



The Leo Niessen Co. says the market 

 for Beauties is giving promise of a good 

 record for January. The Beauty ia one 

 of the leading specialties with this 

 house. 



The Pennock-Meehan Co. is handling 

 cut blooms of the Mrs. Jardine rose for 

 Robert Scott & Son. 



Mr. and Mrs. H. Bayersdorfer are on 

 a western trip. 



Edward Reid takes a very optimistic 

 view of the future. 



W. E. McKissick is well pleased with 

 the results of his removal to larger quar- 

 ters. Phil.

The Market 



A firmer tone was noticeable last week 

 and, although prices have remained about 

 the same, there has been only a small 

 surplus to carry over each day, Roses 

 are in rather short supply and selling 

 well. Best quality Brides and Maids 

 make up to $15 per hundred. Beauties 

 of the top grade fetch about half 

 Christmas prices. Killarney remains 

 popular, as does Richmond. Few Lib- 

 erty are seen as compared with a year 

 ago. Wellesley and Chatenay have splen- 

 did stems and are each in demand. There 

 is a decided scarcity of white carna- 

 tions, due to heavy calls for funeral 

 work. All colors are clearing out re- 

 markably well at from $3 to $6, the 

 higher price only for strictly fancy flow- 

 ers. Violets seldom now reach the dollar 

 mark, the bulk averaging 75 cents. Qual- 

 ity is exceptionally good and the quan- 

 tity, owing to the clear, mild conditions 

 which have prevailed for some time, is 

 heavy. 



Lilies remain about the same, as do 

 callas. Bulbous stock, such as Paper 

 Whites, Roman hyacinths and Trumpet 

 daffodils, is inclined to be druggy. Some 

 La Reine tulips are arriving, but these 

 are short-stemmed as yet. Some good 

 freesia is also offered. Mignonette is 

 extra good, some selling as high as $8 

 per hundred. Single white azalea, Mos- 

 chosma riparium, valley, antirrhinums 

 and English primroses are other flowers 

 arriving. Myosotis is also seen in small 

 lots. There is a good call for adiantum
