FLOWER SEEDS and FLORISTS* NEEDS 



Mention The Rgrlew wttcn yon writs. 



work of late. The demand for Brides 

 and white carnations has been good. Kil- 

 larney and Chatenaj sold well and were 

 good stock at all times. 



The Drexel ball last week, for which 

 the William Graham Co. had the dee- 

 orating, used quite a lot of Killamey 

 and pink carnations. The effect was 

 ^ery striking and much admired. Wild 

 smilax and also quite a number of string 

 smilax were used extensively in the dec- 

 oration. 



Carnations are not selling very well. 

 Most of the growers are cutting heavily, 

 and if the bright weather continues, the 

 ^ipments will be much larger. Winsor, 

 Beacon and Enchantress head the list, 

 With Lawson coming next, which is fine 

 at this season. White Perfection is also 

 fine and sells well. The flowers are of 

 enormous size. There are too many vio- 

 lets, both single and double, and they 

 are sold for almost any price. Valley 



and mignonette are moving slowly. Tu- 

 lips, which are not very long-stemmed as 

 yet, are hard to move. The demand for 

 daffodils is fair and they are used in 

 quite a number of the smaller decora- 

 tions. Sweet peas and freesia in the 

 fancy grades are in good demand. There 

 is also plenty of lavender peas, which are 

 good stock. Cattleyas and gardenias have 

 shortened up and there is not quite 

 enough to fill the demand. 



Smilax and plumosus are moving off 

 in good shape, as is also cornflower, of 

 which the supply is limited. Lilies sell 

 fairly well and are especially fine. 



Various Notes, 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is re- 

 ceiving some very fine gardenias, which 

 are good stock. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. are receiving a 

 large lot of Japanese air plants, which 

 are sold before they reach the store. 



They also sent some goods to Manila, In- 

 dia, South America and England. The 

 spring trade among the florists is very 

 heavy. 



John Ruppert, who represents the H. 

 A. Dreer Co., is back and reports busi- 

 ness as being very good in the east. 



S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. had a nice 

 order for Killamey last week. 



D. Connor, who represents the Lord & 

 Bumham Co., was among the many vis- 

 itors at the carnation convention at 

 Washington. 



Berger Bros, are receiving some of the 

 best Brides and Maids coming to this 

 town, which is a great credit to their 

 growers. 



Harry Crawford, who is the grower for 

 the Secane Greenhouses, says they will 

 need a wagon for the carnations which 

 they will cut in the next few weeks. 



William P. Craig reports the demand 

 for the stock of Mrs. Jardine to be very 

 heavy, which goes to show that she has 

 a great many admirers. 



Edmond A. Harvey will deliver an ad- 

 dress before the Florists' Club Tuesday 

 evening, February 4, on "The Indoor 

 Cultivation of Carnations. ' ' Mr. Harvey 

 is a member of the firm of Albin Harvey 

 & Sons, Brandywine Summit, Pa., who 

 have achieved an enviable reputation as 

 growers of the divine flower. He has ad- 

 vanced ideas on cultural points. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has offered 

 a silver cup for fifty blooms of Miss 

 Kate Moulton, to be competed for at the 

 American Rose Society's annual meeting 

 in Chicago next spring. Now, Mr. Far- 

 enwald. 



The Wm. Graham Co. decorated Hor- 

 ticultural hall for a large private ball 

 January 24. Mr. Graham arranged a 

 novel idea, with a canopy of smilax as 

 the chief feature. Killamey roses were 

 also freely used. This decoration elici- 

 ted much favorable comment. 



M. Rice & Co. are enjoying the usual 

 amount of business for January, with 

 excellent prospects for the Easter trade. 

 Their Eaater novelties are arriving daily. 



Charles F. Krueger is sending out very 

 prettily illustrated postal cards, showing 

 his stand in the Reading Terminal from 

 different viewpoints. The cards give a 

 good idea of the tasteful decorations.
