•St. Mr, Berger has purchased a prop- 

 erty on the west side of Germantown 

 Hvenue, half a block south of his pres- 

 ent location, where he will at once 

 build a modern flower shop with con- 

 servatories in the rear. The new prop- 

 erty is thirty-four feet front and 492 

 5eet deep. This will give ample room 

 lor a driveway beside the store, in or- 

 ;ler to obtain access to the conserva- 

 'ories in the rear. 



It is interesting to look back at the 

 steady progress made by Mr. Berger 

 ■ind his son. The greenhouses on Queen 

 street, doing a wholesale and retail 

 inisiness, have been a factor for years. 

 Then came the little shop on East Chel- 

 fen avenue, so tiny that you waited on 

 'he sidewalk while the pretty girl ahead 

 •^f you purchased her flowers inside. 

 Bat Germantown was not slow in find- 

 ing out that Fred Berger had taste. 

 That fact once ascertained, progress 

 'Fas steady, for Germantown knew a 



good thing and meant to keep it. The 

 little store on East Chelten avenue was 

 succeeded by a much finer store on 

 Germantown avenue nearby, where a 

 flourishing business was built up. The 

 present store, however, is not equal to 

 the requirements of the business and 

 Fred Berger has promised that the new 

 shop will be a distinct improvement 

 on anything that Germantown has seen 

 in the past. 



Mr. Bice's Betum. 



As chronicled in this column, M. Rice 

 returned from his European trip to New 

 York June 2. When seen this week in 

 his business home Mr. Eice spoke with 

 pleasure of his trip, joshed his inter- 

 viewer a little and then proceeded to 

 tell of his success. "Mr. Zirkman 

 says," Mr. Eice wound up enthusiastic- 

 ally, "that the coming season will be 

 the greatest in the history of this 

 house, and of florists' supplies, for we 



have a wonderful collection of the best 

 things." Of course, this was after Mr. 

 Zirkman had had a preliminary view 

 of what is to come. 



Various Notes. 



Alphonse Pericat spoke on ' ' Com- 

 mercial Orchids" before the Florists' 

 Club, on the evening of June 7. 



The steamers Manitou, Menomenie 

 and an Italian boat have brought large 

 supplies of wheat, cycas and magnolia 

 to H. Bayersdorfer & Co. 



Walter P. Stokes will sail for Europe 

 June 15, on the steamer Campagnia, 

 for two months' vacation. Mr. Stokes 

 goes with S. F. Willard, of Comstock, 

 Ferry & Co., Wethersfield, Conn., their 

 plan being to visit the seed farms 

 abroad. 



Hoopes Bro. & Thomas, West Ches- 

 ter, Pa., have sent samples of their two 

 new roses to this city. One, Chris- 

 tine Wright, is a cross between Wichu- 

 raiana and Caroline Testout. The other 

 is a climbing sport of American Beau- 

 ty. Both are of interest. 



Tho Mt. Desert Nurseries, Bar Har- 

 bor, Me., A. Miller, manager, have sent 

 to this city a crested sport of Neph- 

 rolepis Scottii that it is rumored one 

 of our shrewdest buyers desires. 



Fred Ehret, our successful uptown re- 

 tailer, is fortunate in having so able 

 a partner in his business as Mrs. Ehret, 

 She has the happy combination of art- 

 istic and business ability. 



The Floracroft Greenhouses, Moores- 

 town, N. J., will erect one cold house, 

 22x110, to bo used for bulbous stock.
