gin. To go to the other extreme, nov- 

 elty to standard, there was as pretty a 

 little batch of Beauty of Poitevine ge- 

 raniums as I have ever seen; the plants 

 were in 5-inch or 6-inch pots, well 

 shaped, clean foliage, bright flowcrs^^nd 

 all sold. There were some nice spiraeas, 

 Superba and Gladstone, some good lilies, 

 both Easter and callas, and a smaller lot 

 of the other staples, all well grown. 

 The hydrangeas were extremely well 

 done, blue predominating. 



George Anderson. 



Unluckily, George Anderson was away, 

 but his representative did the honors, 

 showing with pride the finest block of 

 lilies I have seen this year; giganteums, 

 I think he said, over six feet in height, 

 with twelve or fourteen flowers and buds 

 surmounting each, the kind of lilies that 

 the church decorator longs for earnestly ; 

 with a few such plants much can be done. 

 George Anderson is a rose grower, devot- 

 ing but a portion of his space to Easter 

 stock — this year it is larger than usual. 

 Lilies and spiraeas are grown in number. 

 Hydrangeas, formerly an important 

 Easter crop, are now considered as valu- 

 able and much less trouble after Easter. 

 There have been three improvements at 

 Mr. Anderson's since the place was last 

 seen ; a narrow covered way of walk and 

 bench, now filled with shorter lilies, in 

 front of half his range, a wide connect- 

 ing shed of ample proportions for the 

 other half, and the motor car, which has 

 not yet cost its owner a penny in repairs, 

 strong testimony to his mechanical skill. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Ehret's two windows are a mas- 

 terpiece in contrast; the floral arcadia 

 window, on Broad street, is rich with 

 specimen azaleas, handsome palms and 

 window boxes of ferns, while his window 

 on Fairmount avenue is gay with pots of 

 well grown hyacinths, tulips and daflfs. 

 Let us hope they will make rich gay and 

 gay rich. ^ 



William Berger 's Easter plantsmclude 

 an extra well grown lot of white and 

 purple lilac, not plentiful this season; 

 his standard plants are well grown. 



M. Eice & Co. report an unusually large 

 number of Easter telegrams.
