THE LATEST NOVELTY 



CYCAS BASKETS. These are made of cycas roots, with long handles made of cycas stems intertwined with palm 

 branches. The baskets are rather small, suitable for filling with plants or flowers, the handles are very long, the material used 

 gives a touch of nature and of originality. 



Our factory can produce anything you may desire. Send for our Illustrated Catalogue.

Philadelphia flower shop on the Century 

 type last week. Thomas Holland, first 

 lieutenant of one hundred twelve, is in 

 charge. 



William Berger, it is understood, will 

 have an entirely new and modern store 

 built on the site of the old one, at Ger- 

 mantown avenue near Chelten avenue, 

 next summer. Fred Berger has built up 

 a splendid business here among the best 

 people of Germantown. 



Eobert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, Pa., 

 have, as stated in this column several 

 months ago, built five new houses. It 

 may seem a funny statement to make at 

 this season of the year to one unfamiliar 

 with Alexander B. Scott's building 

 method — ^posts planted, roofing material 

 put in position in the fall, glazing done 

 before winter, steam pipes and beds put 

 in position at odd times during the win- 

 ter, soil wheeled in at earliest possible 

 moment in spring, before rush is on, so 

 that plants get the full benefit of the 

 growing season. 



Joseph E. Trouncer, representative of 

 the Winona Carnation Co., Winona, N. .T., 

 has a promising white seedling; some fine 

 blooms, large and fragrant, were on ex- 

 hibition at the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. 



Cheery letters have been received in 

 this city from Edwin Lonsdale at Lom- 

 poc, Cal. ; the air has happily proved 

 beneficial to Mrs. Lonsdale, but either the 

 air or something else has, alas, queered 

 the victrola. 



Edward Reid has returned from a few 

 days' trip south. 



J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry 

 A. Dreer corporation, was in Chicago last 

 week. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have an effect- 

 ive novelty basket made of cycas leaves, 

 caught up by a long, slender handle of 

 cycas and palm stems twined. 



Herman Schoenfeld, who has been ill, 

 suffered a crushing loss in the recent 

 snow storm, when his four greenhouses at 

 Eighty-seventh street and Cruthers avenue 

 went down. The stock is a total loss. 



J. J. Habermehl 's Sons are credited 

 with using thirty-four cases of wild smi- 

 lax for the decoration at the automobile 

 show. They had elaborate decorations 

 for the Widener and midwinter balls last 

 week, besides many smaller affairs. 



M. Rice & Co. have a pretty novelty in

Philadelphia, Pa. 



One of our growers tells his friends tliat lie prophesied and 

 discounted our success, by which he means he always said 

 we would succeed and sent us his flowers from the start. 



Roses and Spring Flowers 



Our rose growere ara on crop right now in mid-winter, 

 when everybody else is off. We have BRIDE and 

 RICHMOND that are especially worth seeing. 

 Our spring flowers, including EASTER LILIES, 

 DAFFODILS, PAPER WHITES, VIOLETS and 

 VALLEY, are abundant and of excellent quality.

Athens, Ga. — The Athens Floral Co. 

 has just completed the erection of an- 

 other greenhouse and business is stead- 

 ily increasing. Holiday trade was fine. 



Toronto, Can.— William Hill, the 

 Yonge street florist, says that holiday 

 trade has shown a marked improvement 

 each year, with an especially good de- 

 mand for flowering plants. He thinks 

 there are prospects of a good deal of 

 greenhouse building in this vicinity dur- 

 ing the present year.
