Charles Zimmer, West Collingswood, 

 N. J., lost one greenhouse in the vio- 

 lent storm the night of November 12. 

 The house was blown down and the con- 

 tents, callas and stevia, were frozen in 

 the cold that followed, a serious and 

 most unfortunate loss. 



Fred Ehret has the reputation of 

 being an excellent judge of the flower 

 market. 



Lost — A day, by G. C. Watson, last 

 week. The finder will receive a liberal 

 reward by returning to Edward Reid, 

 1619 Banstead street. 



Of all the aspirants for civic fame 

 in the floral world, only Eaymond Kes- 

 ter is receiving the congratulations of 

 his friends on his election to a position 

 of honor and trust by the citizens of 

 Morton, Delaware county. 



Eobert Shoch, with M. Eice & Co., 

 has returned from northern New Jer- 

 sey, with that joj'ous smile that coins 

 and holds friends everywhere. 



Eobert Craig will deliver the third 

 of the Michell lectures, November 25, 

 at 3 p. m. Fully 175 persons attended 

 the second lecture, November 13, by 

 Maurice Fuld, on "Hardy Bulbs and 

 Perennials. ' ' 



Three pleasing varieties of chrysan- 

 themums this week are Golden Wed- 

 ding, at the handsome new store of 

 Berger Bros., now in good running or- 

 der, and Golden King, at William J. 

 Baker's, and some magnificent Chad- 

 wick at Alfred M. Campbell 's. Phil.

The Market. 



Too many mums is still the general 

 report. There is not, however, the 

 overwhelming glut noted in former 

 years. There is a tremendous outpour- 

 ing of them, but sales are good, al- 

 though prices which ruled in years gone 

 by are never reached. Bonnaffon is 

 seen in greater numbers than any other 

 variety and is still the most popular 

 commercial sort. Others seen in quan- 

 tity are President Eoosevelt, Mrs. 

 David Syme, Intensity, Shrimpton, 

 Eaton, Jerome Jones, Maud Dean, Na- 

 goya and Mrs. Weeks. Eoses have 

 cleaned up well of late, which is un- 

 usual while the mum season is at its 

 flood tide. The two Killarneys are now 

 of fine quality. Mrs. Waddell is a popu- 

 lar store sort, and sales of Lady Hilling- 

 don and Mrs. Ward continue excellent. 

 Richmond is coming of much better 

 quality. 



Carnations rarely rise above $2 per 

 hundred and may go at half this price 

 or less. Violets are not overplentiful 

 and a little higher in price. Paper 

 White narcissi now are in too heavy 

 supply. Roman hyacinths are also com- 

 ing from several growers. There are 

 some good antirrhinums. Sweet peas 

 are moving a little better, but valley is 

 overabundant. There is also a good 

 supply of lilies. Pansies from one 

 prominent grower are of superb quality 

 and readily sell at $1 per hundred. 

 Bouvardia Humboldtii is popular and
