VEST GROVE, PA. 



D. H. Green reports that he has com- 

 pleted a prosperous season. He had an 

 excellent crop of mums and received 

 fair prices for them. 



As usual, the chrysanthemums of Thos. 

 Baylis & Son occupied a conspicuous 

 place in the decorations at the White 

 House on Thanksgiving day. 



C. S. Pickel, of the Dingee & Conard 

 Co., went south last week for the pur- 

 pose of superintending the packing and 

 shipping of the company's large stock of 

 roses located there. 



The Conard & Jones Co. is still ship- 

 ping, daily, large quantities of hardy 

 shrubbery. Their business in this line 

 has been unusually large this season. At 

 the nursery Antone Wintzer exhibits with 

 pride some fine specimens of new cannas, 

 in full bloom. 



Shipments of mushrooms from this 

 point are growing heavier every week. 

 Dingee's giant plant is now yielding a 

 goodly quantity and these, supplemented 

 by the output of several minor estab- 



lishments, 'make West Grove grand head- 

 quarters for mushrooms. J. M.

The Market. 



While some of the store florists are 

 complaining of business being rather 

 quiet and collections slow, others have 

 fine trade and report business good. 

 Roses are not plentiful and the wholesale 

 houses cannot supply the demand. Car- 

 nations are scarce and bring a good price 

 for this time of the year, selling at 3 

 cents to 4 cents. Stevia is plentiful at 

 2 cents a spray. Roman hyacinths are 

 scarce. Narcissi are more plentiful, sell- 

 ing at 3 cents. Poinsettias are now mak- 

 ing their appearance, but there is little 

 demand at present. 



Chrysantliemums arc about gone. They 

 sold readily this year and none went to 

 waste. White mums were scarce and sold 

 at good prices. There have been a great 

 many weddings and receptions this fall, 



which have made a good demand for the 

 mums. 



Greens are plentiful. Bouquet green, 

 holly and wild smilax have arrived here 

 in great quantities and been placed in 

 cold storage. Christmas trees are being 

 stored away in cool cellars, ready for the 

 rush. 



The weather has been wonderfully fine 

 and warm. The days are just like spring. 

 The coal man says, "No business." 



We are all looking for a fine Christ- 

 mas trade,' as orders arc booked already 

 and everybody seems to have money and 

 times are good. 



Various Notes. 



R. S. Brown & Son are furnishing the 

 downtown stores with narcissi and 

 stevias, which arc fine. 



The Kansas City Flower Shop, at the 

 corner of Eleventh and Main streets, has 

 its large show window well filled with 

 everything in bloom. 



D. Frendenthal has a fine show in his 

 window — som.e of the finest late white
