Mat 19, 1910. 



IMPERIAL CHINAWARE 



New sets, new styles, new combinations, the greatest novelty of the season in improved form. Oiir Imperial 

 Cliinaware, as we have it today, gives you an unusual opportunity for artistic skiU in arrangement. The pieces enable 

 you to carry out any design on a table. The popularity of these water-ways is bound to increase with their improvement. 



For The Sweet Qirl Graduate 



All school and college conmiencements claim our best. FANCY BASKETS in beautiful new styles suitable for 

 each and every flower, styles for each and every purse ; they are so handsome and yet they can be had so simple, tall 

 and short, oval and round, handled and flat, large and small, willow and straw braid, we could use this'paper in 

 describing them.

MeatioD The Review wben you write 



acter of the flower business in May is 

 changing. Fridays and Saturdays are 

 busier days than the other four combined. 

 Everyone seems to want flowers for Sun- 

 day at this season. 



Berger Bros, are receiving nicely col- 

 ored sweet peas from their father's East 

 Washington Lane greenhouses. 



A. F. O'Connell has commenced work 

 planting the city squares with showy 

 flowering and foliage plants. 



There is i\ foolish tradition about the 

 ill luck that comes with Friday falling 

 on the thirteenth, which has been effect- 

 ually disproved in the home of George S. 

 Faulkner, where on that eventful day a 

 son and heir arrived. 



Eanstead street is a hustling center of 

 business. Last Monday a k.d lost a 

 silver dollar down an area three feet 

 deep. In desperation he was about to 

 wreck the grating which separated him 

 from his property when John Mclntyre 

 came along and said, "See the janitor." 

 Edward Eeid said, "Put dextrine on the 

 end of a stick." This restored the miss- 

 ing coin to its happy owner. 



George Burton will discard his house 

 of Golden Gate this season, replacing it 

 with American Beauty. (Jate was for- 

 merly grown to advantage during the 

 scarcity of Bride and Maid, but since the 

 arrival of the improved hybrid teas they 

 have become less popular. 



Arthur Zirkman has been bringing 

 cheer to 1220 Race street, where he re- 

 turned last week from an excellent busi- 

 ness trip. 



Godfrey Aschmann plans a two months ' 

 trip to Europe in July. He will look 

 after his business interests in Germany 

 and Belgium and take a brief rest at his 

 old home in Switzerland. 



John F. Erwin Co., Delanco, N. J., made 

 a handsome horseshoe wreath for Black- 

 bume, the popular shortstop of the Chi- 

 cago American League team, which was 

 presented to him when he appeared at 

 Shibe park to play against the Athletics 

 last Saturday. 



W. E. McKissick & Bros, have a suc- 

 cessful specialty in blue cornflower, 

 much prized by those requiring this shade 

 for floral effect. 



Edward Eeid points with pride to the 

 high grade White Perfection Enchant-

Paul Berkowitz is getting a surpris- 

 ing amount of stock for Memorial day 

 out of the factory and warehouse of H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co. Earlier in the sea- 

 son both partners pushed the stock out, 

 now one pushes it in while the other 

 pushes it out. Phil. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



We continue to get cool weather, ab- 

 normally so for the middle of May, and 

 business is holding up nicely. Carna- 

 tions are in much reduced supply. It is 

 suspected that the annual holding back 

 for Memorial day is already under way. 

 Prices rule stronger than a week ago, 



and all good flowers are quickly snapped 

 up. Flowers of the pink varieties are 

 holding good, thanks to the cool weather. 

 Boses are not selling as well as carna- 

 tions. Bride and Maid are hard to move 

 at any price. Few of these wiU be seen 

 here another season. Killarney sells well, 

 also White Killarney. Carnot, while not 

 seen in large numbers, is popular. Beau- 

 ties are in good supply. Mrs. Aaron 

 Ward continues to make a name for 

 itself, and the better class stores handle 

 quite a few Bon Silene and Safrano. 

 Red roses will be in big demand next 

 week; of late they have not sold specially 

 well. Sweet peas sell well, those of the 

 Spencer type making the highest prices. 

 Darwin and other late tulips are plen- 

 tiful. They are much better for cutting 

 than the early ones, having such long 

 stems. Narcissi, except poeticus, is prac- 

 tically done. Spanish iris is quite plenti-
