color harmonizes and where there can be 

 no possible discussion as to whether the 

 boxes contain the specified number of 

 assorted blooms. In short, Mr. Pennock 

 believes that the best class of flower 

 lovers and ^ower buyers cannot be 

 reached through this method by the best 

 shops. It is far more satisfactory, as 

 well as better business, to aim to elevate 

 the public taste by original and harmo- 

 nizing combination or by exceptionally 

 choice blooms of a single variety, for 

 which a fair price should be charged. 



Baby Forget-me-nots. 



Robert Kift had a winning novelty on 

 his counter this week in 'the shape of 

 baby forget-me-nots. They were tiny 

 plantlets in bloom in something like a 

 lA-inch pot. Each one, as William 

 Crawford proudly stated, had roots on 

 it, though it seemed a mystery how so 

 tiny a pot could have space for any roots 

 in its interior. Mr. Kift turned his at- 

 tention to the pans of forget-me-nots 

 purchased for his store. These pans 

 contained little seedlings, weaker and 

 smaller than the rest, but each with its 

 tiny rootlet and flower. When carefully 

 subtracted from the mass and as care- 

 fully potted in the tiny potlets formerly 

 used for cacti, they presented a unique 

 and charming appearance. I should like 

 to tell you just how many ducats Mr. 

 Kift obtained for each of these plant 

 curiosities, but it hardly seems fair to 

 him. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur A. JCiessen, of the Leo Nies- 

 sen Co., will speak before the Florists' 

 Club on Tuesday evening, June 2, at 8 

 o'clock, on "Cooperation Between the 

 Eetailer and Wholesaler in Time of 

 Overproduction. ' ' 



Edward J. Fancourt, secretary of the 

 S. S, Pennock-Meehan Co., has just re- 

 turned from a business trip through New 

 York and New England. Mr. Fancourt 

 always has something interesting to tell 

 of the wonderful progress floriculture is 

 making in different sections of this coun- 

 try. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have received 

 fresh shipments of choice supplies on 

 the steamers Pollanza and Manitou.

 it is enthusiastically good, or quietly 

 good.
