SDBJBOT TO MARKET CHANGE. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



tional rose show held at Buffalo last week 

 say they felt proud of the splendid show- 

 ing made by our growers, who put up 

 American Beauty, Killamey and Eich- 

 mond that were superior in culture and 

 finish to anything shown by the cele- 

 brated eastern and western growers. 

 The fruits of this victory may be found 

 in the many firsts and specials brought 

 home by our exhibitors. 



Correction : The dimensions of the new 

 Florex Gardens house, mentioned last 

 week as about 150x800, will be 172x700. 



David Joyce, an old-time gardener of 

 this city, died at his home in German- 

 town last week. Mr. Joyce was in charge 

 of the Carpenter place, Phil-ellena, for 

 thirty-eight years. Later he laid out and 

 took charge of Willow Grove park, where 

 his effects in Japanese hydrangeas and 

 scarlet sage attracted attention. 



The greenhouses purchased by George 

 Samtman are at Orvilla, near Lansdale, 

 formerly operated by Fred Roos. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have a pleasing 

 novelty in their hammered brass handle 

 baskets; effective for sweet peas and vio- 

 lets. 



Julius Kohler & Sons, Bridge street, 

 Frankford, have a large stock of Easter 

 plants. Their spiraeas are especially well 

 done. 



A. Farenwald and E. Towill went from 

 Buffalo to Brampton, Ontario, to see the 

 greenhouses of the Dale estate. The 

 electrical delivery of flowers in baskets 

 from one end of the long greenhouses to 

 the other, or from cutter to sorter, im- 

 pressed them mightily. 



The Century Flower Shop held a sweet 

 pea special. These flowers have been 

 more in demand than ever before. 



The Joseph Heacock Co. will add 7,000 

 feet of glass this season. A small house 

 and a driveway are being turned into a 

 large house. This makes practically 

 their entire establishment under one roof, 

 with partitions. 



Charles P. Poryzees says that Lent has 

 been better than usual this season. The 

 demand has certainly kept up pretty well 

 during what is usually the worst part of 

 Lent. • 



P. A. B. Widener always wears a 

 flower of the new carnation, Dorothy 

 Gordon, in his buttonhole. 



Elmer Joliff, for four years with J. B. 



Murdoch & Co., Pittsburg, has accepted 

 a position with W. E. McKissick & Bros. 



Mr. Graham and Mr. and Mrs. John- 

 son, of Baltimore, were in this city a 

 few days ago. 



The sad news was received in this city 

 March 22 of the death of Mrs. P. J. 

 Hauswirth, of Chicago. 



John Walker, Youngstown, O., was 

 here a few days ago.

Advertisers should not delay

M. Rice & Co. received Easter impor- 

 tations by the steamer Bierawa. 



Walter P. Stokes has a fine lot of hy- 

 drangeas, tub grown, at Moorestown,

Adolph Farenwald won the Michell cup 

 with fifty Killamey at Buffalo last week. 



Alexander B. Scott returned from 

 Summerville, S. C, March 17. 



Louis Berger, son of William Berger, 

 will open a flower store at the corner of 



A sunny Sunday, with higher tem- 

 perature, enabled the sidewalk merchants 

 to completely clean up the wholesale 

 market, but Monday was again down to 

 freezing, and there was little life in the 

 street. Prices did not advance, and sup- 

 plies are steadily increasing. A year ago 

 the break in values materialized at about 

 this date, and roses especially were far 

 under the present quotations. 



White carnations last week were in 

 great demand, the daily shipments being 

 far below requirements up to St. Pat- 

 rick's day. Green roses and valley and 

 other abnormalities appeared in the retail 

 windows in honor of the Irishman's pa- 

 tron saint. 



The rose supply is now abundant, and 

 the quality equal to anything the market 

 has seen this season. Beauties do well 

 to hold at 40 cents for top, and this price 

 is only for the selected. We look for 

 quite a break before Easter in these and 

 all varieties of roses. In fact, already 

 complete slips of Brides and Maids are 

 taken quite below quotations. 



Carnations are holding their values en- 

 couragingly, especially the high grade 

 stock, which is always in demand. The 

 carnation novelties and the new varieties 

 of roses find an immediate market al- 

 ways, and no authoritative rate can be 

 safely quoted for these limited arrivals. 



Violets are coming in shoals, and the 

 street sellers are their salvation. The 

 retail stores cannot utilize a tenth of the 

 shipments. Great quantities were dis- 

 posed of last week as low as $1 a thou- 

 sand. All bulbous stock is flooding the 

 market. The southern supplies are Umit- 

 less. Now come lilac and trailing ar- 

 butus. 



The demand for gardenias and orchids 

 is steady and encouraging to the growers. 



Fancy ferns are increasing in price 

 and growing scarce. There is not an 

 overabundance of smilax.
