of Twelfth and Chestnut streets contained 

 a huge basket filled to overflowing with 

 cvprTediums, the color effect being per- 

 Stly carried out by harmony between 

 flower and basket. A better idea may be 

 formed by recalling the basket seen in 

 the pTcture of Moses in the bul rushes 

 This^show case is a sort of prelude to 

 TT H Battles 's show windows, a tew 

 doors 'south on Twelfth street. One was 

 devSed to pottery of a classic, exclusive 

 t7^ favor Jd by Mr. Battles; the other 

 cStained fancy blooms, the variety of 

 form and color suflBcient to satisfy the 

 taste of each passerby. ^ ^ „ 



The grand show window in the Belie- 

 vue-Stratford wa^ a woodland scene, with 

 huee chrysanthemums, green foliag«' 

 S and mossy banks, a chTsanthemum 

 fofest the coloring in yellow white and 

 green toned by the natural brown of 

 Crk It was a beautiful conceptjon that 

 did credit to the Habermehl taste 



A large basket of KiUarney, Scotch 

 heather \nd pussy-willows ornamented 

 with a Dresden ribbon was the central 

 Sure in Charles Baxter's arrangement 

 fn the window of Pennock Bros., the pink 

 and white combining admirably.. About 

 ?he center figure were smaller pink bas- 

 iets oTheathVr, green baskets of heather 

 and pink carnations, a basket of laven 

 der sweet peas and yellow daisies, and a 



basket of pink begonias and yellow snap- 

 dragon. It was a picture full of rich- 

 ness, expressive of grace and beauty. 



Various Notes. 



G. C. Personette and Mrs. Personette, 

 Baltimore, Fred H. Kramer, Washing- 

 ton, and George L. Huscroft, Steuben- 

 ville, O., were among this week's visitors. 



F. Herbert Steinmetz has, for the pres- 

 ent at least, abandoned his plan of open- 

 ing a branch store in the residence sec- 

 tion of the city. 



B. Eschner and Mrs. Eschner returned 

 from their trip to Jamaica November 27. 



J. J. Habermehl 's Sons had a novel 

 combination for the Cornell followers for 

 the Thanksgiving football game with 

 Penn — a white chrysanthemum with a 

 scarlet carnation deftly grafted on the 

 center, thus showing their preference of 

 the Ithacan college. Eichmond roses and 

 violets were favored by Pennsylvanians. 



Fred Ehret reports an excellent 

 Thanksgiving, barring only the unfavor- 

 able weather. 



Paul Berkowitz reports the arrival of 

 the steamer Marquette with large in- 

 voices of imperial chinaware and Christ- 

 mas goods for H. Bayersdorfer & Co. 



Eugene Weiss and Samuel F. Lilley 

 have been spending their spare moments 

 visiting suburban growers. They report 



George E. Campbell, at Flourtown, Pa., 

 as in splendid shape for the winter sea- 

 son. 



M. Eice & Co. report the arrival of the 

 steamer Arcadia laden with Christmas 

 goods. 



Philip Freud has been featuring, as 

 my friend Charles Henry Fox would say, 

 airships in the window of the store of 

 the Henry F. Michell Co. this week. By 

 the way, the company will hold a poultry 

 show in their branch store at No. 518 

 December 8 to 10. Many growers are 

 lovers of fine fowls. The chief wanted 

 me to put this properly, else the scoffers 

 might say Michell is getting weak, giv- 

 ing up seeds to poultry. But nobody 

 could possibly say that who knows Henry 

 F. Michell. 



Alfred M. Campbell has been a prime 

 factor in Bonnaffons. 



Mark B. Mills, of the William K. Har- 

 ris establishment, produces three chrys- 

 anthemums to a stem which are of single- 

 stem size. 



George W. Carr, Kingston, Pa., was 

 here last week. 



Charles Henry Fox will address the 

 Florists' Club December 7. His topic 

 will be: "The Follies of 1908; will they 

 be repeated in 1909 and 1910?" 



The Henry A. Dreer cactus window 

 continues to attract attention. J. Otto
