Various Notes. 



William C. Smith, the well known 

 grower of Sixtieth and Market streets, 

 is now a councilman from his West Phil- 

 adelphia ward. 



"Take care of your place, and your 

 place will take care of you." 



Berger Bros, expect to have good 

 Bride and Maid all summer, one of their 



leading consignors having a house 

 planted in these varieties. It is now in 

 splendid condition. It has not done 

 much during the winter. 



Walter P. Stokes is cutting a splendid 

 lot of Lilium giganteum from his Flora- 

 croft Greenhouses, at Moorestown. 



H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayersdorfer 

 reached Hamburg safely May 16. 



The Andorra Nurseries are receiving 

 much praise for the hanging garden 



planted for Dr. Woodward, at St. Mar- 

 tins, near Chestnut Hill. It is now a 

 mass of bloom. 



The Floral Exchange is tearing down 

 several old houses, to be rebuilt with one 

 large house to be planted in tea roses 

 this summer. 



M. Eice & Co. report that they have 

 just received a large shipment of wheat 

 from Italy. The demand for sheaf wheat 

 is large. 



Arthur Zirkman, of M. Kice & Co., re- 

 turned from the east May 15. Mr. Zirk- 

 man says that the demand for flowers, 

 real and metallic, for Decoration day 

 about Boston is something phenomenal. 

 Decoration day figuring more largely 

 than Easter in the business of most of 

 the florists in that section. This, of 

 course, excepts plants. Phil.

The Market 



Summer is here and with the summer 

 temperature come the usual conditions 

 characteristic of every summer since there 

 was a market. Prices are about as low 

 as they can be and a little below any 

 former average at this time of the year. 

 Even the regular Saturday and Monday 

 lift was sidetracked this week. Retail 

 windows were full of dollar boxes, an 

 excellent way of taking advantage of 

 the surplus. WarendorflF, on Broadway, 

 especially sets the pace in this splendid 

 advertising method. If there were more 

 original advertisers among the retailers 

 in this city, there would easily be ma- 

 terialized 100 per cent more trade in the 

 aggregate. Even now, the retail stores 

 that maintain the most unique and ar- 

 tistic decorations in their windows do 

 the bulk of the business. It is strange 

 the rank and file, especially the rank, 

 do not wake up and realize the indis- 

 putable value of window advertising. 

 Fortunately, New York, as an offset, has 

 many of the most artistic floral artists 

 in America, and these men give a daily 

 exhibition of their knowledge as to art, 

 color, blending and arrangement, worth 

 going miles to see. Now that the June 

 weddings are so near, these efforts bring 

 practical rewards.
