counters, and open seed boxes along the 

 left or Delaware side, and racks for sam- 

 ples of implements and other necessaries 

 along the right, or Schuylkill side, pretty 

 much as in the present store. The wider 

 ell-shaped portion at the rear of the 

 store will be devoted to the oflBces, with 

 ". showroom and entrance on Ludlow 

 street. The Delaware side of the Ludlow 

 street entrance will be devoted to a re- 

 ceiving room for light merchandise. The 

 second floor will be devoted to the order- 

 filling department. The third floor will 

 be largely used for storing implements 

 and other stock. On the fourth floor the 

 grass and clover seeds will be found. 

 The fifth floor is surmounted by a fine 

 glass roof. This floor will be utilized 

 for a seed testing department and for 



a conservatory, where plants can be re- 

 ceived and kept in condition until their 

 turn for shipment arrives. The roof will 

 be surmounted by a wonderful sign, 

 something on the flagpole style, thirty- 

 five feet high and two and one-half feet 

 wide, the word Michell running down 

 so that it can be seen from the Delaware 

 to the Schuylkill, with seeds below. 



There is much to do in the new build- 

 ing, cleaning and freshening of walls, in- 

 stalling of counters, seed boxes, racks, 

 oflSce partitions and furniture, and all 

 the endless details required to make up a 

 modem seed house. Frederick J. Michell 

 says that his company's seed house will 

 be the finest of its kind in the country, 

 and that he hopes it will be ready for 

 occupation about December 15. It is 



proposed to carry on business both at 

 1018 Market and at 518 Market. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Henry Fox will address the 

 Florists' Club in Horticultural hall, 

 Broad street, below Locust street, on 

 Tuesday evening, December 15. His 

 theme will be "Salt on the Tail of an 

 Idea." It is confidently predicted that 

 Mr. Fox will make a success with this, 

 his maiden speech. 



Eobert A. Craig is blessed with a vein 

 of humor. "When speaking of the prices 

 cut blooms of chrysanthemums are now 

 realizing, he said: "They are bringing 

 more than Polly Eose brought in 

 October." 



The violet situation evokes many ex-
