CoaL 



A member of the firm of Smith, Lin- 

 «aweaver & Co., in discussing eoal condi- 

 tions with a representative of the Re- 

 view, said that while local conditions 

 varied so that it was impossible to speak 

 accurately without knowing all the de- 

 tails, he believed that in a general way 

 the hard grades of anthracite coal were 

 the most economical for the florist. Given 

 certain conditions, where a quick fire is 

 demanded a soft grade of anthracite 

 may be better. Given certain other con- 

 ditions, such as too small a boiler capac- 

 ity j^ limited grate surface and plenty of 

 draught, bituminous coal is cheaper. The 

 point was strongly brought out that 

 ■where the coal man knows the conditions 

 surrounding the florist he can save him 

 many a dollar by suggesting the kind of 

 fuel best suited to his needs. 



Various Notci. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is 

 receiving fine gardenias from W. E. Fow- 

 ler, manager, Morton, Pa. 



Alfred M. Campbell has been handling 

 some fine poinsettias. 



Samuel F. Lilley, of Lilley & Upton, 

 has the sympathy of his friends in the 

 death of his mother, which occurred De- 

 cember 17. The funeral took place De- 

 cember 21. 



The first white lilac seen in this mar- 

 ket, reported last week, should have 

 been credited to W. F. LaCroix, Buena, 

 N.J. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. reports the 

 largest sale of holly in the history of the 

 house. 



M. Rice & Co. were more than pleased 

 with their Christmas business. The de- 

 mand for their immortelle "kow" bells

was enormous. Red immortelles, water- 

 proof paper pot covers, mats, plant 

 baskets and ferneries were in great de- 

 mand. 



William Munro, Garrettford, Pa., has 

 completed a new propagating house 9x100 

 feet, which is to be lengthened fifty feet 

 more later. Mr. Munro is much pleased 

 with the new rose, My Maryland. 



Robert A. Craig reports the largest 

 December plant business in the history 

 of his company. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have experi- 

 enced a heavy demand for immortelles. 

 They received a large number of cases, 

 457, I think, ten days ago. This week 

 they had all been sold, and many more 

 could have been used. Mr. Bayersdorfer 

 expected an immense rush at the last 

 moment, but the rush which the firm 

 actually experienced far exceeded his 

 expectations. 



A. Farenwald, Hillside, Pa., has blos- 

 somed into a sweet pea expert of the 

 first rank. A house of roses got tired 

 last August, after a lengthy struggle, 

 and were replaced by winter blooming 

 peas, peas that grew, and grew, and 

 grew exceedingly and now are in full 

 crop, with stems of marvelous length sup- 

 porting fine flowers. 



, At the December meeting of the Ger- 

 mantown Horticultural Society the fol- 

 lowing were elected to serve during the 

 year 1909: President, Rev. Francis 

 Heyl; vice-presidents, Chas. J. Wister, 

 Edwin C. Jellett and N. DuBois Miller^, 

 secretary and treasurer, George Redles. 

 Reports of the various committees show 

 that the society is in flourishing condi- 

 tion, the finances being in excellent 

 shape, and the attendance of the mem- 

 bers and their friends enthusiastic. 



Fred Ehret has a fetching Christmas 

 scene in his window. The word fetching 

 is used advisedly; the scene consists of
