used; or it may be lilies of the valley, 

 or orchids, or violets. Charles W. Kah- 

 lert, manager for Pennock Bros., spoke 

 with pleasure of the surprise his firm had 

 felt at the increase in the Assembly de- 

 mand, which for a number of years had 

 been largely confined to the dinner table 

 decorations for parties preceding the 

 ball. 



The Surprise of the Week. 



The street is full of it I "Handsome 

 Harry" has gone to Bice's! That was 

 the word all through the wholesale dis- 

 trict, with little sympathetic waves in 

 many of the retail shops, where "Hand- 

 some Harry" is such a favorite. "Who 

 is itt" you say, "Is Phil driveling!" 

 Not at all. Robert Schoek has retired 

 from the wholesale commission world to 



accept a position with M. Bice & Co. 

 His friends wish him every success. 



Varioos Notes. 



Paul Berkowitz, well and favorably 

 known as a member of the firm of H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., reports a strong de- 

 mand for prepared green foliage, fern 

 fronds, Sprengeri, and plumosus aspara- 

 gus. His firm will make a specialty of 

 St. Valentine's day boxes. 



John Montgomery has taken charge of 

 his son, J. T. Montgomery's place at 

 Toughkenamon, Pa. Carnations and 

 smilax are the chief crops. 



Walter P. Stokes sent a heavy cut of 

 Easter lilies to this market for the holi- 

 days. 



John P. Habermehl, commenting on 

 the New Year's business, said a decided

improvement was noticed at the Bellevue- 

 Stratford, New Year's being fully equal 

 to that holiday when it was at its best 

 some years ago. The demand was chiefly 

 for gifts, violets being especially favored. 



Eugene Weiss, of Hatboro, Pa., who 

 has been ill for a fortnight, is happily 

 recovering. 



The Bobert Craig Co. has a fine thing 

 in the scarlet seedling carnation. Bed 

 Wing. It is planted closer than most 

 varieties on the bench, and appears a 

 fine producer of good salable flowers of 

 a brighter scarlet than Beacon, a bread 

 and butter sort, so to speak. 



J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry 

 A. Dreer Co., will speak before the stu- 

 dents at State College, near Bellefonte, 

 Pa., January 15, his subject being * ' Civic 

 Improvement. ' ' 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has received 

 a large importation of begonias and 

 gloxinias. 



Sydney Bayersdorfer has returned 

 from a successful southern trip. The 

 florists in the cities he visited are expect- 

 ing a busy month in February. 



J. J. Habermehl 'a Sons had a hand- 

 some decoration at the Mercantile Club 

 January 11, for the wedding of Miss 

 Weiner. 



George A. Strohlein arrived at Plyn.*^ 

 outh, England, January 11. 



Bobt. Scott & Son have been experi- 

 menting with the mechanical watering 

 system in a rose house on their place at 

 Sharon Hill. The mechanical device is 

 only used in summer. 



Bobert A. Stewart, Jr., made a hit 

 with his hemlock wreaths and crescent at 

 Christmas. 



Berger Bros, arc making a specialty 

 of Easter lilies for the decorator. 



The Century Flower Shop had a spe- 

 cial Killarney sale January 9 that proved 

 quite successful. Phil.
