required to keep the crowd moving. The 

 'feature of this display was the large 

 quantity of well-grown stock in the seven 

 staple kinds of plants: Lilies, azaleas, 

 igenistas, rhododendrons, spiraeas, ram- 

 Iblers and hydrangeas. The feature of 

 this display was the high quality and 

 long stems of some of the lilies, the 

 specimen azaleas and those planted three 

 in a 10-inch pot, and the coloring of the 

 hydrangeas to an Alice blue. Other stock 

 grown in smaller quantities is bougain- 

 villeas and the variegated sport of the 

 same variety that originated here; Deut- 

 ria gracilis and the Baby Ramblers grown 

 .for two years to insure good size. The 

 stock is rapidly being depleted to fill or- 

 ders. 



The Overfarook Nurseries. 



J. W. Prince, in charge of Edward A. 

 Stroud's Overbrook Nurseries, is justly 

 Iproud of the fine condition of his lilies 

 and hydrangeas. He has a number of 

 varieties of Easter plants rarely seen 

 elsewhere. They include a choice assort- 

 ment of gloxinias well covered with 

 bloom, the soft pink Lupinus polyphyl- 

 lus Moerheimi, a beautiful thing, and 

 Weigela Eva Harte, with its crimson 

 flowers, making a desirable plant for 

 those who wish to add to their outdoor 

 shrubbery after Easter. A choice assort- 

 ment of geranium novelties, it is found, 

 attracts business. 



Various Notes. 



Jacob Becker has a splendidly grown 

 lot of pot roses, including Jacqueminot, 

 Killarney, Magna Charta, American 

 Beauty, and Frau Karl Druschki. 



Griffin Bros., of Frankford, have a 

 finely grown lot of azaleas and lilies. 



Harry Berger, of Berger Bros., visited 

 the Beauty growing district at Wynd- 

 moor a few days ago. He reports most 

 of the plants in fine condition, the crop 

 a little off. 



John Haubert, of Bala, Pa., has 

 opened several stores throughout the city 

 for the disposal of his Easter stock. 



The Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, 

 Pa., report that the present season so 

 far is the best in its history. 



Walter P. Stokes has practically 

 cleared up his entire batch of hydran- 

 geas, including the immense specimens 

 with forty flowers each. 



William J. "toung, Jr., has a finely 

 grown lot of lilies and other Easter 

 plants. 



W. E. McKissick has secured the en- 

 tire second floor above his salesroom for 

 storage purposes this week. He believes 

 that lilies require room, and means to 

 give it to them. 



Howard L. Courtney, for many years a 

 bulwark of the Dingee & Conard Co., 

 West Grove, Pa., has been obliged to give 

 up work for the present, owing to ill 

 health. 



M. Rice & Co. report a large number 

 of out-of-town buyers in the city re- 

 cently. The firm 's business from October 

 1 to the present time is twelve per cent 

 ahead of last season. 



Charles Wintzer, son of Antoine Wint- 

 zer, of West Grove, Pa., has married and 

 moved to North Carolina. 



Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., returned home April 11, tired but 

 happy. 



The street asserts that His Grace of 

 Yor^ and Job were seen walking arm in 

 arm on Chestnut street.
