demand, sufficient to make prices firmer. 

 Cattleyas have advanced, due to short 

 receipts. Labiata is nearly over, while 

 TriansB is hardly here. The balance of 

 the orchids are obtainable, with cypri- 

 pediums increasing in number. Wild 

 smilax is coming in more freely. Box- 

 wood sprays have arrived. The tone 

 of business November 20 is a decided 

 improvement over that of one week ago. 



Various Notes. 



Friday, November 15, was a red-letter 

 day at the southwest corner of 

 Eighteenth and Chestnut streets. Crowds 

 came and went all day. Automobiles 

 laden with plants and flowers made de- 

 livery throughout the city. Inside the 

 London Flower Shop six or eight young 

 ladies acted as saleswomen, just for the 

 day. Their friends bought, their 

 friends' motors delivered, and the 

 profits, something like $200, went to the 

 Home for Incurables. 



Frank L. Politis returned from Greece 

 last week, after three months spent in 



helping his native country in conquer- 

 ing the Turks. 



Everyone will be interested to know 

 that the Weiss Flower Store will open 

 November 23, on Germantown avenue, 

 and everyone will wish Eugene Weiss 

 well in his new venture. Mr. Weiss is 

 well and favorably known as the former 

 proprietor of a retail fiower store at 

 Eighth and Arch streets, and of a 

 greenhouse establishment at Hatboro, 

 Pa. Both businesses were run for many 

 years and then sold, one to F. Herbert 

 Steinmetz and the other to H. M. Weiss 

 & Sons. Experts say that Mr. Weiss 

 has shown sound judgment in his selec- 

 tion of a location. 



"I call her up every day and send 

 her fiowers whenever she wants." Not 

 a lover's confession; just a good sales- 

 man's statement of a business fact. 



Albert Arnold finds the Floral Nur- 

 series' rose, Sweetheart, is in demand 

 in this city and in New York for bask- 

 ets and bouquets. 



Raymond Kester, writing from In- 



dianapolis to a friend in this city, ex- 

 presses satisfaction with the progress 

 made by the new store of the Hill-Heller 

 Co., and confidence in its future. 



Edward Reid announces the arrival 

 of Hudson river violets in this city. Mr. 

 Reid finds the Wards fine shipping car- 

 nations. 



George E. Campbell describes the color 

 of Sunburst as "the concentrated es- 

 sence of sunshine." 



Harry Bayersdorfer says that im- 

 mortelles will be scarce this season. 

 This statement has great weight, be- 

 cause Mr. Bayersdorfer believes his firm 

 to have the largest stock of immortelles 

 in the world. 



Paul Applegreen is now manager for 

 the Henry F. Michell Co. greenhouses 

 and trial grounds at Andalusia, Pa. Mr. 

 Applegreen has had much experience. 



The friends of G. C. Watson were 

 mystified by his allusion to Eulalea at 

 the show. Some thought that he had 

 met his fate, others that Eulalia 

 Japonica was the object of his admira-
