CUT FLOWER BASKETS 



The best yet. 



A unique cut flower basket woven around a glass vase. 



Holds just about a dozen roses, carnations, daffodils, etc 



Especially adapted as a flower vase for hospital, sick 

 room or home use. Having a vase to hold water materi- 

 ally adds to its value. 



Made of rattan; its color, Antique Blue, harmonizes to 

 advantage with any color flowers. 



It has an oddly arranged handle from the sides, that 

 allows the flowers plenty of freedom. 



It's proven a money maker for others, why not for you ? 

 Just glance at the price: 



$6*00 per dozen. 



Style No. 2005, top opening b% inches; height of 

 handle, 23 inches. 



Better order today to save disappointment.

Various Notes. 



Monday evening, February 19, the 

 Lamberton Memorial Conservatory, at 

 Highland park, was opened for the first 

 time in the evening. The new lighting 

 system had been tested and those who 

 inspected the handsome floral display 

 fou^d new beauties revealed under the 

 shaded electric light. 



All of the bowlers are taking a lively 

 interest in the match which is to take 

 place here with the Buffalo boys in the 

 near future. 



The Kochester Floral Co. did a rush- 

 ing business preceding Valentine's day 

 and upon the day itself. This firm's 

 business is growing and four clerks are 

 now employed in the store. 



Salter Bros.' East Main street store 

 reports a good trade for the last few 

 weeks. They have a good collection of 

 azaleas on exhibition. 



J. B. Keller Sons are doing a big 

 business in funeral work and had a big 

 valentine trade. 



E. Fred Eowe, of Harrisburg, Pa., 

 formerly with James Vick 's Sons, was 

 in the city last week. 



George Boucher has been quite busy 

 and did a rushing business for Valen- 

 tine's day. He is showing some fine 

 Begonia Glory of Cincinnati. 



Mrs. E. C. Armbrust has returned 

 from the east. 



Salter Bros, are growing some good 

 pink ramblers at their greenhouses in 

 Fairport, N. Y. 



Geo. Kramer, who is again living in 

 Buffalo, was in town Saturday, Feb- 

 ruary 17. 



H. E. Wilson's display window i^ 

 filled with a pretty arrangement of daf- 

 fodils and Asparagus plumosus. His 

 valentine trade was exceptionally good. 



Harry P. Neun had a good valentine 

 trade, and is doing quite a little funeral 

 work. Manager Albert's window dis- 

 play is exceedingly attractive. 



Visitors: M. Cohen, New York city; 

 Mr. Green, of H. Bayorsdorfer & Co., 

 and Mr. Hampton, of H. F. Michell Co., 

 Philadelphia. E. C. A. 



Newburyport, Mass. — One of the 

 pipes connected with the heating plant 

 at Thomas J. King's greenhouses, in 

 West Newbury, burst recently, and be- 

 fore it could be repaired the tempera- 

 ture had dropped in three of the green- 

 houses 80 that the plants were frost- 

 bitten and destroj-ed. Mr. King esti- 

 mated that his loss would be $1000.
