Oh, that is simple enough: the suc- 

 cessful purchasers cabled, while the 

 forty-five wrote. 



The Bedles Cup. 



A friend, of horticultural taste and 

 liberal mind, offered a silver cup for 

 competition at the February meeting 

 of the Germantown Horticultural So- 

 ciety. The cup, made of silver, he pre- 

 sented in the name of G. Francis Kedles, 

 the youngest member of the society. G. 

 Francis Eedles is the son of George 

 Redles, the society's able secretary. 

 This friend of the society and of Master 

 Redles is a lover of carnations. He 

 stipulated that the competition should 

 be for the best twenty-five carnations of 

 one or more varieties, as the exhibitor 

 might prefer. There were a number of 

 entries, but some fell by the wayside. 

 Only three fine entries of twenty-five 

 blooms were staged. So keen was the 

 competition that the judges, one of 

 whom was a lady, a member of the so- 



ciety, awarded distinction to the un- 

 successful competitors that must have 

 cheered them mightily in the hour of 

 defeat. The Redles cup was captured 

 by a real live countess. Thomas A. 

 Gaynor, gardener to the Countess de 

 Santa Eulalia, was the winner. The 

 meeting was crowded. There were 

 numerous exhibits in the regular classes. 

 One honorary and five active members 

 were elected. 



At the Bellevue-Stratford. 



Edward Habermehl obligingly dis- 

 cussed a few points of general interest 

 in his firm 's beautiful flower shop in the 

 Bellevue-Stratford hotel one afternoon 

 this week. Mr. Habermehl thought that 

 the storm had not made much difference 

 in the demand for floral valentines, 

 which was good, though not in excess 

 of last season. He said that while heart 

 baskets, forget-me-nots and other 

 strictly sentimental souvenirs of affec- 



tion were sent, a pretty bunch of flow- 

 ers was much more generally favored. 

 Mr. Habermehl believes that the scar- 

 city of well-grown medium grade stock 

 at this season drives away many flower 

 buyers of moderate means. He further 

 believes that greater variety in high 

 grade roses would broaden the market. 

 He considers Mrs. Charles Russell, when 

 well grown, a great acquisition and finds 

 lilacs, fancy snapdragon and Acacia pu- 

 beseens help out wonderfully. 



Various Notes. 



R. O. King, of North Tonawanda, 

 N. Y., was here February 16. 



John Stanley has taken possession of 

 the greenhouse range owned and oper- 

 ated by J. L. Maull, at Whitford, Pa. 

 This range, formerly known as the Mill- 

 brook Lea Greenhouses, was for many 

 years owned by Maull & Howell. Two 

 or three years ago J. Lardner Howell 

 withdrew from the firm. JSTow J. L.
