ready been half won from the "worser" 

 half, but it is the possibilities in the 

 greenhouses that a talk with one of our 

 brightest men has brought before me. He 

 spoke of the easy and pleasant work of 

 bunching lily of the valley. Four or five 

 hours a day, a little taste, deft fingers — 

 that was all it required. The experiment 

 so far has not proved a success, but per- 

 severance will surely make it so. Many 

 of our growers owe much more than they 

 can tell to the neat bunching by their 

 better-halves of violets, pansies, and what- 

 nots. 



Various Notes. 



William Berger has succeeded his son 

 Louis as lessee of the Mergenthaler place 

 on East Washington lane, Germantown. 

 It is understood that Mr. Berger will run 

 both his Queen street place and the new 

 place for the present. 



Robert Kift has been delighting the 

 walkers on Chestnut street with a glimpse 

 of real Japanese gardens made by na- 

 tives. 



The retailers who have so loyally sup- 

 ported Carnation Dorothy Gordon, 

 brought them by Carl Cortts, represent- 

 ing the Joseph Heacock Co., feel that the 

 little daughter that has just come ought 

 to be named Dorothy, but it seems that 

 Mrs. Carl Cortts thinks otherwise. 



Charles Henry Pox made an awfully 

 good-looking window display last week 

 with Dutch wooden shoes filled with grow-' 

 ing hyacinths. 



M. Rice leaves this week for a cruise 

 in southern waters. 



John Walker, Youngstown, O., spent a 

 couple of days in this city, looking over 

 the Easter supplies and plants. When 

 asked whether he was likely to return to 

 the City of Brotherly Love, Mr. Walker 

 gave one of his cheery laughs his friends 

 know so well and said that he got three 

 meals a day now in Youngstown, O. 



Ernest Zieger, of the Zieger Floral 

 Co., Pittsburg, has been inspecting Eas- 

 ter stock in the Rising Eastern Market. 



Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., returned February 24 from an ex- 

 tended western tour that resulted in 

 many fine orders for his house. 



Harry Sharp, 924 Broadway, Cam- 

 den, N. J., has the sympathy of his

To the Buyers 



We look for a turn in the market when few flowers of this or that 

 variety will be low in price. It will be to your advantage to 

 keep in touch with us. :::::::: 



Our Flowers have never been so fine 



We especially recommend our 



Spring Flowers, Roses, Carnations 



All are just about as good as they can be grown. 

 Visitors are ALWAYS welcome at THIRTEEN FIVE 



business friends in a death in the family 

 that occurred February 25. 



Lord & Burnham Co., through D. T. 

 Connor, has received the order for two 

 houses, 28x300 each, from William A. 

 Leonard, Lansdowne, Pa. 



Elmer Joliflfe should have been cred- 

 ited with seeking new pastures, not 

 Elmer Heatherington, as incorrectly 

 stated in this column. 



Eobert Craig left for Florida last 

 week to escort Mrs. Craig home from 

 Palm Beach, where she has been con- 

 valescing after an illness. 



B. Esehner, of M. Eice & Co., re- 

 turned last week from the most success- 

 ful western trip of his successful career. 



George Boyd, of "Wilmington, Del., 

 has been looking over the Easter plants 

 in this city. 



James M. Thoris, of Camden, N. J., 

 is closely watching the situation of the 

 wholesale market. 



Godfrey Aschmann is rapidly getting 

 his Easter stock rounded into shape. 



J. A. Smith, of Henry F. Michell Co., 

 gets his executive work completed by 

 10 a. m. each day, putting in the rest of 

 the time visiting the florists who are 

 within a radius of twenty-five miles of 

 this city. 



Carnation Toreador, sent by H. "Weaver 

 & Son, Oakland, Md., to S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., is bringing double the mar- 

 ket price, an encouraging sign at so dull 

 a time. 



The price of rubber has increased dur- 

 ing the past few months to an extent 

 that makes it difiicult to get satisfac- 

 tion out of the same priced rubber hose 

 which did well formerly. 



Mr. Josephs, a European grower, has 

 been looking over the houses of the King 

 Construction Co., in this country. It is 

 not believed he is a relative of Joseph 

 Joseph, of Public building fame.
