Various Notes. 



D. T. Connor, representing Lord & 

 Burnham Co., has landed the order of 

 the Robert Craig Co. for four green- 

 houses, each 27x150, at Norwood, Dela- 

 ware county, Pa. This is a personal tri- 

 umph for Mr. Connor, as all the leading 

 building firms were figuring on the work, 

 ine new place, as stated before in this 

 column, will be used for trying out the 

 •ompany's new seedlings. 



Mrs. Sarah I. Smith, of Secane, Dela- 

 ware county, who underwent a serious 

 operation in the hospital last week, is, her 

 many friends will be delighted to know, 

 recovering. She will be out again this 

 week. 



Joseph Callihan, who has taken the 

 Joseph Crompton flower shop on North 

 ■^^rty-fiecond street, in addition to his 

 own place on Market, near Thirty-eighth 



street, promises to be an important fac- 

 tor in the West Philadelphia world of 

 flowers. 



Robert Crawford, Jr., had a splendid 

 crop of carnations and sweet peas from 

 his greenhouses at Secane for Easter. 



M. Rice & Co. have recently received 

 several orders for complete wedding out- 

 fits from distant cities. 



J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the Henry 

 A. Dreer corporation, commenting on the 

 tremendous rush of orders to the seed 

 stores, said: "It is as lively as we 

 want. ' ' Which, when you know Mr. Thi- 

 low 's energetic disposition, is most sig- 

 nificant. 



The steamers Kroonland, Cleveland and 

 Menomonie brought large shipments of 

 goods from abroad for H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co. this week. 



Frank Palmer, with Jacob Becker, 

 says that they are experiencing a good 



demand for Killarney, Souvenir de Pierre' 

 Netting and Richmond rosea in pots. 



John C. Andre, of Doylestown, Pa., 

 believes that Bride will hold its own 

 against White Killarney. 



Mr. and Mrs. Le Moult, of New York, 

 were here a few days ago. 



John Lucas & Co. were closed April 

 19 out of respect to the memory of H. 

 Spencer Lucas. 



Smith, Lineaweaver & Co. consider the 

 situation in the anthracite coal region as 

 serious. The mines are working until the 

 meeting of the operators, to be held in 

 New York April 22. 



Easter will be early next year. It falls 

 on March 27 in 1910. 



The Robert Craig Co. has been suc- 

 cessful in propagating Lorraine begonias 

 a little earlier and a little better than one 

 usually sees them. The stock is now in 

 fine shape. Baby Margaret chrysanthe- 

 mum promises well, they think. It is 

 being tried by many of the best growers.

The Market. 



The Easter trade was probably of the 

 greatest volume ever known here, but it 

 does not follow from this statement that 

 there were no disappointments. Saturday 

 was cloudy, with a heavy wind and a 

 snow squall which lasted for about 

 twenty minutes, which made things look 

 blue for the time being. The wind 

 wilted nearly everything, especially aza-. 

 leas, but by closing time at night there 

 was little left on the stalls except the 

 poorest stuff, and generally there was 

 satisfaction felt and expressed with the 

 day's business. 



There was no scarcity in any Une, un- 

 less it was in Harrisii lilies, which were 

 not present in the quantities usually seen 

 at this holiday. 



At the Florists' Exchange the volume 

 of business was apparently heavier than 

 the average, but Manager Perry, with 

 some extra and efficient help, kept things 

 moving briskly and by nightfall prac- 

 tically everything was cleaned out and at 

 figures fully up to those prevailing ordi- 

 narily at this season. 



The demand for violets was far above f
