how he ■would say that the grower, who 

 was as busy as a bee, had been obliged, 

 like the bee, to rest a bit, for luncheon. 

 But such was not the case, for Godfrey 

 Aschmann was hard at work during 



luncheon time writing one of his famous 

 cards for the Keview. He took time, 

 however, to show his houses, crammed 

 full of every kind of Christmas plants, 

 and Phil divided his time between admir- 



ing the stock and trying to learn the 

 owner's secret of prosperity. There were 

 azaleas galore: Deutsche Perie, white; 

 Simon Mardner, old rose pink; Mme. 

 Petrick, rosy pink; Apollo, fiery red, and 

 Vervseneana, pink and white. There were 

 araucarias of better value than ever be- 

 fore; there were ferns in all the popular 

 sorts and sizes, palms, primroses, sola- 

 nums, cool grown, sturdy; Begonia Gloire 

 de Lorraine; in short, everything the 

 plant-lover wants at Christmas. The new 

 house was finished and full of azaleas; 

 the new boiler was in, doing its duty, 

 both house and boiler the work of the 

 sturdy sons. But, you say, how about 

 the secret of success? Well, it seemed 

 to me that something of the business 

 methods seen in our prosperous depart- 

 ment stores had here crept into the 

 florists' business. Popular varieties, pop- 

 ular prices and generous advertising. 



Various Notes. 



Harvey Sheaf, with Mrs. E. A. Wil- 

 liams, Pittsburg, was in the city recently. 



J. G. Whilldin was present at the De-

W. E. McKissick & Bros, are making 

 a specialty of imported tree box sprays, 

 which are of high quality. 



Eugene Weiss, Hatboro, Pa., has the
