Various Notes. 



Stephen Mortenseu and Mrs. Morten- 

 sen, of Southampton, Pa., spent a few 

 weeks abroad this fall. They hurried 

 home fearing the place might need at- 

 tention and found it looking so well 

 that Mr. Mortensen felt another fort- 

 night abroad would have been just the 

 thing. The new house is planted in Kil- 

 larney and White Killarney this year. 



Henry C. Geiger says that the Florex 

 Gardens have mastered the vast heating 

 problem that has so long been a vexa- 

 tion in one or another of its details. 



The Germantown Horticultural Soci- 

 ety held its regular feting and chrys- 

 anthemum show November 14. There 

 was an excellent display of the queen 

 of autumn in pots and cut flowers. 

 Edwin C. Jellett entertained the large 

 audience with an interesting talk. 



The arrival of the first liner from 

 Hamburg to this port was an event last 

 week. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. had large 

 shipments on this vessel. 



J. Murray Basaett will open a flower 

 store in Hammonton, N. J. 



Eugene Weiss is sending exception- 

 ally well grown Maryland roses to 

 Samuel F. Lilley. 



Maurice Fuld will deliver an address 

 on "Bulbs as House Plants; How to 

 Start Them and How to Care for 

 Them," at MichelPs, 518 Market street, 

 Monday, November 21, at 11 a. m. 



A promising sign of the social season 

 is the early demand for lace bouquet 

 holders. 



The first bouvardia is in — George 

 Carpenter to William .T. Baker, and 

 John Savage to S. S. Pennock-Meehan 

 Co. 



John R. Andre is sending fancy grade 

 stock to the Leo Niessen Co. 



M. Rice & Co. have violet ruscus 

 wreaths and red ruscus wreaths this 

 week. 



A new color in cyclamen flowers is a 

 welcome addition. It is salmon pink 

 that lights beautifully. There were a 

 few last season, but now it is plentiful 

 at the Robert Craig Co. There are

three varieties, Salmon King and 

 Salmon Queen from England and Won- 

 der of Wandsbek, perhaps the best, 

 from Germany. The plants are fine. 



T. O. Knickman, of MeHutchison ^& 

 Co., was a visitor recently. N. B.— 

 Initials being the rule and being un- 

 obtainable, these stand for "The

The Philadelphia growers, who have 

 been shipping to this market during 

 the expressmen's strike in New York, 

 resumed shipments to that city Novem- 

 ber 14 and were disappointed to learn 

 that matters were not entirely settled 

 on that day. 



Vast crowds visited the chrysanthe- 

 mum show in Fairmount park at Horti- 

 cultural hall, Sunday, November 13. 



Daniel E. Gorman, Williamsport, Pa., 

 was here a few days ago to size up 

 the market, and, it may be, the gal- 

 leries. 



Alfred Burton, Wyndmoor, Pa., has 

 completed an artesian well to replace 

 his present water supply. The well 

 was sunk to a depth of 300 feet and 

 is operated by a Standard pump and 

 engine, with a 2,000-gallon compres- 

 sion tank for a reservoir. Phil.

The Market. 



Conditions have improved steadily 

 during the last week. It is true prices 

 have not made much advance, but there 

 is no great surplus. The weather is 

 now colder and more seasonable and 

 snow flurries have warned us that win- 

 ter is not far away. Chrysanthemums 

 continue in big supply and are of un- 

 usually good quality. Prices are, how- 

 ever, not what they should be. Ex- 

 tra fine flowers sell at $1.50 to $2 per 

 dozen; in fact, few fancies go above 

 these prices. The variety mostly seen 

 is BonnaflFon. This grand old varietj' 

 is seen of even better quality than fif- 

 teen years ago. Nagoya, Shrimpton, 

 Gold Mine, Golden Eagle, White Eaton, 

 Yellow Eaton and Appleton are other 

 prominent sorts. Less of the last named 

 sort is seen than in former years. Crim- 

 son varieties have sold well for the 

 various Harvard football games. 



Roses are cleaning up well and the 

 colder weather has much improved

 fine, with stems equal to midwinter
