. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 478 The American Florist. Nov. 10, Notwithstanding this, however, there still seems to be enough and to spare among the retail stores tor all demands. This is accounted for from the increased production by a greater number oi smaller growers. One of the old standbys who still devotes considerable space to them in this vicinity is George Campbell, at Broad and Germantown avenue. The bnlk ol his trade is in pot plants, part of which are used in his retail trade and the bal- ance at wholesale. According to Mr. Campbell there has been nothing partic- ularly meritorious produced in the past two years, with possibly the exception of W. Paul Binder's Willowbrook, a Jap- anese, white eliahtly tinged lemon, not very large but very early and has proven a fine commercial sort; and Lady Harriet, a piak incurved Japanese. These two varieties have done particularly well and are very meritorious. Binder's Harry A. Parr has also done well. Charles Mecky, a near neighbor of Mr. Campbell also grows a considerable quantity in pots lor the wholesale mar- ket. He does not go in much for novel- ties, confining himself mostly to the standard, tried and tested sorts. W. K. Harris devotes four houses to cut blooms. His varieties are mostly seedlings of his own which he has never disseminated, consequently their merits are unknown outside of his own estab- lishment and unless they should be dis- seminated later a description of them would be superfluous. Mr. Harris used to grow pot plants largely in years gone by but has now given that up. Samuel Bunting, at Sixtieth and Elm- wood avenue, is another grower who goes in largely for chrysanthemums and has been quite successful with them. Many other florists grow more or less but there is no craze forthem to compare with what it was six or seven years ago. Perhaps the most representative prac- tical grower here who goes in heavy on chrysanthemums is Hugh Graham. Mr.
