Various Notes. 



Pennock Bros, had some handsome 

 orders for the funeral of N. Brooke 

 Dolan last week. Among them were 

 three large wreaths, one containing near- 

 ly 200 cattleyas; another of equal size 

 made of cattleyas and other orchids. A 

 third, also large, was made entirely of 

 gardenias.

 Academy of Fine Arts, gave an illus- 

 trated lecture before the Germantown

 sick concur in believing that it would

 ing two new boilers at Holland, Pa, 



The Florex Gardens have commenced 

 to build two new greenhouses about 30x 

 200 feet each for carnations, at the new 

 place at North Wales, Pa. Inquiry at 

 Eugene Bernheimer's elicited the in- 

 formation from Benjamin Gibbs, Mr. 

 Bernheimer's right-hand man, that car- 

 nations had proved a most successful 

 crop at North Wales, and that the two 

 houses, 30x150 each, at present devoted 

 to the divine flower, were entirely in- 

 su£Scient to meet the demands. Mr. 

 Gibbs said that the Enchantress and 

 Beacon from the Florex Gardens had 

 been equal to anything in Philadelphia 

 this season. 



Henry Sonneborn, Jr., of the Mt. Airy 

 Floral Exchange, reports a satisfactory 

 business in all branches. Mr. Sonneborn 

 is running the old Billger & Blakebor- 

 ough place on Germantown avenue, near
