BEAUTIES 



From the present reports from our grower, we will have a good supply of Special Beauties, and the 

 quality could hardly be improved. We expect to have the largest supply of Beauties in this market, but we 

 advise placing your order early. 



PANSIES 



LILAC 



Only 5 cents a bunch. Can furnish almost any 

 quantity. All cheerful colors. 



$1.00-$1.25 per bunch. One of our specialties. 

 Quality will be fine and Lilac should prove desirable 

 stock for Easter. 



CARNATIONS 



We have never been able to offer a higher grade of quality of Carnations for Easter, 

 better for quality or freshness, and our prices will surely satisfy you.

EASTER LILIES

The Rising Eastern Market. 



The market has been fai^ with a 

 downward tendency during the last 

 week. Carnations have been plentiful, 

 their support rather poor. Violets in 

 all grades have suffered, as have Easter 

 lilies, particularly the poor ones, and 

 the short-stemmed flowers of sweet peas 

 and of roses. The receipts'of southern 

 daffodils are quite heavy. The flowers 

 are short-stemmed, depressing the mar- 

 ket. Greenhouse .grown daffodils suf- 

 fer from the competition. 



Indications point to a good supply of 

 Easter lilies and pretty nearly all the 

 varieties of flowers on which depend- 

 ence is placed at Easter, Beauties and, 

 possibly, Richmonds may be exceptions, 

 but on the other hand violets promise 

 well, as do sweet peas. Prices are 

 likely to be reasonable. 



A Large Greenhouse. 



The contract has just been closed for 

 what will be one of the largest green- 

 houses of the east. It will be erected 

 by Lord & Burnham Co., for John 

 Stephenson's Son, Oak Lane, Pa. The 

 new house will be added to the present 

 structure, 72x400, making the whole 

 house, when complete, 72x800. M. C. 

 Wright, representing the builders, ex- 

 pects that the work will be finished by 

 May 15.

Mention Tta« Beview wben Toa wme 



that Mrs. J. M. Eison, of that city, 

 has named her new carnation after our 

 President. Mrs. Eison sent a box of 

 handsome blooms of her newly chris- 

 tened variety as a gift to the family 

 in the White House. It will be remem- 

 bered that the variety raised by Mrs. 

 Eison was exhibited at the February 



meeting of the Florists' Club in this 

 city, where it was much admired. It 

 is described as a fringed deep pink 

 Enchantress of good size and is a cross 

 between a scarlet and pink which Mrs. 

 Eison has grown for four years. It is 

 said that several offers for the stock 

 have been declined.
