Co., conceived and successfully executed 

 the idea of putting one 5-inch araucaria 

 and four 4-inch Lorraine begonias in a 

 6-inch azalea pan. How he did it is best 

 explained by the street car conductor's 

 order, "Move up closer, please." The 

 araucaria was about fifteen inches high 

 above the pot, the begonias filled in be- 

 tween the leaves. The pans sold well. 



Vaiiotw Notei. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. opened its 

 new store at 518 Market street to the 

 general public January 4. This handsome 

 store is now entirely complete, and in 

 excellent running order. The popular 

 Frederick J. Michell is in charge. Many 

 visitors were seen inside on the opening 

 day. 



J. T. Montgomery, of Toughkenamon, 

 Chester county. Pa., died January 1. The 

 funeral took place January 4. Mr. Mont- 



gomery, who took Isaac Larkins' place 

 about six years ago, was a regular ship- 

 per to Eugene Bernheimer. 



George A. Strohlein, of Riverton, N. J., 

 sailed from New York January 5 on the 

 good steamer Kaiser Wilhelm the Grosse. 



J, Frank Hunter, who was for many 

 years a well known figure in the whole- 

 sale district of this city, is now with the 

 Robert Craig Co. 



The Leo Niessen Co. reports the arrival 

 of white and pink laelias, important addi- 

 tions to the orchid class. 



Smith, Lineaweaver & Co. report that 

 many of the collieries closed during the 

 Christmas holidays, and resumed work 

 December 30. 



M. Rice & Co. report the arrival of a 

 large shipment of the popular Japanese 

 air plants. 



The Johnson Seed Co. has received 

 encouraging mail orders immediately 



following the issuing of the early cata- 

 logue. 



Carl Corts, who represents the Joseph 

 Heacoek Co., is one of the most impor- 

 tant factors in the Killarney market 

 today. Mr. Corts had 1,500 blooms of 

 the Irish beauty on New Year's morning. 



Myers & Samtman have just filled a 

 large order for the wood of My Mary- 

 land from one of the prettiest nouses of 

 this coming pink rose that one could wish 

 to see. 



The funeral of "William L. Mathues, 

 former state treasurer, at Media, Jan- 

 uary 3, was the occasion for many hand- 

 some floral offerings. A fireman, who^e 

 name I do not recall, but who died from 

 injuries received at his post of duty in 

 a great Market street fire, was also de- 

 servedly remembered by many persons 

 who had cause to be grateful to him dur- 

 ing the twenty-six years he spent in the 

 fire department. 



Fancy freesia was seen this week at 

 the store of W. E. McKissick & Bros. 



Albin Harvey & Sons, of Brandywine 

 Summit, picked some exceptionally fine 

 carnations during December. 



William Stevens, representing JoVn 

 Burton, was an important person in the 

 Christmas Beauty market. 



Campernelles and freesias have been 

 added to the list at William J. Baker's 

 this week, 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have received 

 further shipments of Easter goods on 

 three incoming steamers. 



Many handsome baskets, horseshoes 

 and other floral tokens were sent from 

 this city to the opening of the State 

 Legislature in Harrisburg on January 5. 



Most of the local stores report New 

 Year's business as satisfactory, ahead of 

 last year, though possibly not up to the 

 good old days, when New Year's rivaled 

 Christmas. Phil, 



John G. Gardner, a florist, on Cooper 

 town road, above Ardmore, was informed 

 December 30 by his daughter, Ethel, that 

 on June 2 last she had married Oscar 

 Murray, an electrician, in New York. As 

 there was no parental objection to the 

 match, the paternal blessing was imme- 

 diately forthcoming, Mr. Gardner stating 

 that the young couple had merely pre- 

 ferred a quiet ceremony.
