 better grades.

 low Chadwicks, Jerome Jones, etc. 



A good supply in all grades. Splen- 

 did values at $1.50 to $3.00 per dozen. 



POMPONS — They should prove 

 very desirable for your Thanksgiving 

 day trade. We have a large assort- 

 ment of colors and varieties. 



VIOLETS — Double and Single. The 

 demand will be heavy and early or- 

 dering is advisable. Our Violets will 

 be of the usual good quality, and 

 perfectly fresh.

Touset, identically the same except in 

 color. It is a clear yellow, has good 

 stem and foliage well up to the flower, 

 and can be had in bloom by October 

 15, buds taken from August 20 to Sep- 

 tember 1, and they consider it one of 

 the best early yellows. J. J. B.

Thanksgiving Prospects. 



Cut flowers. — An unusually fine stock 

 of every seasonable flower, with an 

 abundance of all excepting cattleyas, 

 gardenias and violets. These are likely 

 to be scarce. 



Plants.— A splendid stock of all va- 

 rieties . of 1 palms, ferns of the Boston 

 type, and table ferns. In flowering 

 plants, cyclamens, Lorraine begonias 

 and chrysanthemums are excellent in 

 fair numbers. 



The Rising Eaatem Market. 



Increased activity is evident in the 

 cut flower market. There is plenty ot 

 fine material, with sufficient demand to 

 use much of it at listed quotations. 

 Chrysanthemums are a strong feature 

 of the list. The late varieties noted 

 for their excellence rule; Yellow Eaton 

 as well as white, Bonnaffon in both 

 colors, Chadwick and Mrs. Jerome 

 Jones, both two-colored sorts, lead. Pmk 

 is represented by Minnie Bailey, Maud 

 Dean and Dr. Enguehard. Other varie- 

 ties include Lynnwood Hall, white; 

 Boosevelt, pink and white; W. S. Davis 

 orange; Golden Wedding and Gold 

 Mine. Garza is prominent among the 

 singles. Good pompons, indoor grown, 

 are popular, but the outdoor stock will 

 not do. 



Violets have been in favor. The sup- 

 ply was not equal to the demand Satur- 

 day, November 12, when Michigan met 

 Pennsylvania on the football field. 

 Doubles advanced to $1.50, the express 

 strike cutting off the Hudson river ship- 

 ments. Cattleyas advanced to $9 a dozen, 

 with light receipts, and gardenias occa- 

 sionally reached $4 per dozen, with the 

 supply about equal to demand. There 

 are more good carnations coming into 

 town, and they are wanted. The Wards

continue to bring $6; Pink Delight and

 strengthened by fine Killarney with 

 2-foot stems; Bichmond, too, is improv- 

 ing. Bouvardia has appeared. Snap- 

 dragon is getting into something like 

 winter form. There is a decided im- 

 provement in the shipping demand. The 

 street has been buying chrysanthemums, 

 notably Bonnaffon, freely in hundred 

 lots at 15 cents, and even paid 25 cents 

 for some. 



The Election of Mr. Heacock. 



Our chief interest in last week 's elec- 

 tion attaches to the success of Joseph 

 Heacock, president of the Philadelphia 

 Florists' Club, in the twelfth senato- 

 rial district, Montgomery county. Mr. 

 Heacock made a strong fight against a 

 powerful opposition that had up to this 

 time been successful. His election was 



a deserved compliment to the man more 

 than a mere party triumph. Mr. Hea- 

 cock ran for office because he felt it 

 was the duty of a citizen to do so at the 

 request of his fellow citizens. His two 

 places at Wyncote and at Eeulof re- 

 quire so much time that it will only be 

 possible for him to attend to his work 

 in Harrisburg through that thorough 

 system for which he is noted and which 

 has done so much to place him where he 

 now is in the front ranks of our florists.

Edward Aschmann and Howard Asch- 

 mann have their place at Second and 

 Bristol streets in running order and 

 filled with a nice stock of foliage and 

 flowering plants. The place comprises 

 about 25,000 feet of glass and one acre 

 of ground. It is situated opposite 

 Greenmount cemetery. The stock se-
