get up an article informing the people 

 that on Mothers' day everyone should 

 wear a carnation, a white one for a 

 mother deceased and a colored flower 

 for a living mother; he cleaned up 

 everything in sight. Now, if this 

 method is generally followed next year, 

 it will undoubtedly help wonderfully 

 and there will not be so many disap- 

 pointments, as it is impossible to supply 

 the quantities of white wanted.

The Market. 



You can take it for granted that 

 every florist in this town thinks well of 

 his mother, whether living or dead. And 

 you can take it from me that they all 

 think well of Mothers' day. Some say 

 it was a cyclone that swept the decks 

 Saturday and Sunday morning. Call 

 it what you will, there was a clean-up 

 on all lines of stock. At the last min- 

 ute anything that could be called a 

 flower was eagerly picked up. Mothers ' 

 ■day was one grand success and Fathers ' 

 day came in figuring up after it was 

 all over. 



Carnations brought $1 to $1.50 per 

 ^ozen, retail, and even the street fakers 

 were selling carnations Saturday eve- 

 ning at $1 per dozen, all colors. Stock 

 that was not fit to sell at any price was 

 disposed of by these street boys, more 's 

 the pitj.

The advertising done by the Florists' 

 Club committee had much to do with 

 making this a record-breaking day. A 

 full report of this committee, showing 

 the amounts collected and how it was 

 spent, will be ready in a few days. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Jones, of the Jones-Bussell 

 Co., has been called to his home near 

 Philadelphia by the serious illness of 

 his father. 



"Wm. J. Vesey, Jr., of Fort Wayne, 

 Ind., was a recent caller. Mr. Vesey 

 was here in the interest of his firm, 

 finding a market for a large crop of 

 cattleyas they are now cutting. 



The date of the Florists' Club's May 

 party has been announced as Wednes- 

 day, May 22. It will be held at the 

 Chamber of Industry, 2514 Franklin 

 avenue. The committee in charge says 

 it will surpass anything ever before at- 

 tempted by the club. A variety of en- 



Growers report short crop. 

 We will have 12 acres just 

 right to cut for Decoration 

 Day, in white or pink. 

 Order now and be sure of 

 being taken care of. Our 

 crop is fine . $4 to $5 per 1 00
