PINE TREE RIBBONS 



are useful in many ways — for decorations on a broad scale, weddings, 

 table designs, bouquets or funeral work. Narrow, medium or wide 

 widths in a beautiful ralige of colors. Samples show their rich luster, 

 good silk qualities, and prices are rock-bottom. You buy direct from 

 the manufacturer. New catalogue ready, including neat patterns in 



chiffons. It's free.

As we have only a reasonable supply of red roses and red carnations, we shall endeavor to give every customer who 

 orders other colors his proportionate share of red; but we cannot take orders for exclusively red. 



On account of the scarcity of carnations we may have to substitute tea roses at the same price as carnations in some 

 cases to fill the order. Kindly advise us when ordering whether we may substitute.

in small sizes is a specialty. Improve- 

 ments are steadily pushed; houses are 

 rebuilt or reglazed and painted. A 

 cold house has lately been erected, and 

 a new horse and wagon have been pur- 

 chased. 

 ^ Various Notes. 



Godfrey Aschmann has a beautiful 

 house of begonias just coming into 

 bloom. It is two-thirds filled with Lor- 

 raine and Lonsdale and one-third with 

 Cincinnati, all in 6-inch pots. His prim- 

 roses, azaleas, ferns and combination 

 pans are pretty. 



J. Max Nitzschke, late of Boston, 

 has returned to J. J. Habermehl's Sons, 

 at the Bellevue-Stratford. The Stotes- 

 bury entertainment was a tremendous 

 affair that gave our star decorators a 

 rare chance to display their skill. 



Robert F. Welsh was elected to suc- 

 ceed George Eedles as secretary and 

 treasurer of the Germantown Horticul- 



tural Society, at the meeting Decem- 

 ber 9. 



Maurice Fuld will give a series of 

 talks on gardening at the Girls' High 

 School. 



I venture to correct another's error 

 in last week's issue of The Review. 

 Eaymond Kester was buyer for Pen- 

 nock Bros.; he was not associated with 

 S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. Mr. Kester 

 made glad the hearts of all the sales- 

 men with good flowers and brought 

 sadness to those who lacked them. 



Eichmond at Christmas will be a spe- 

 cial specialty of the growers loyal to 

 the Leo Niessen Co. 



The seedsmen of this city are exhib- 

 iting poultry supplies at all the nearby 

 chicken shows. The Johnson Seed Co. 

 exhibited a Barred Plymouth Eock 

 cockerel at the show held in the First 

 Eegiment armory this week. The bird 

 is to be awarded to the purchaser of 



the largest amount of poultry supplies 

 at the company's booth, every quar- 

 ter's worth bringing a coupon.

 Moore, Lancaster, Pa.; Mrs. Minnie 

 Haines Weber, Bethlehem, Pa.; Charles 

 Vorkeller, South Bethlehem, Pa.; C. L. 

 Dole, Lockport, N. Y. 



The steamer Prinz Adalbert arrived 

 this week with the popular improved 

 red ruscus for Eice & Co. 



Eugene Bernheimer is receiving nice 

 sweet peas from the Florex Gardens. 



George Carpenter is sending fine bou- 

 vardia to William J. Baker. 



A long distance telephone call at 9:50 

 p. m., to a home eight miles away from 

 the base of supplies, a hurry-up ride, 

 picking up Al and the kid on the way, a 

 scurry and scamper for four big box- 

 fuls of stuff, assorted, addressed, way- 

 billed, and delivered at the Adams in 

 ample time for the 11:22 p. m. train —
