The business of the last week was very fair, considering the season. There were some large orders for fun- eral work and a fair bench trade. In addition to the supply of green- house stock, a noticeable feature has been the profusion of outdoor stock, gladioli being very prominent. Phlox and the old fashioned tiger lilies, the latter being used with good effect in some stores for window display, are also popular.

The carnations are fast disap- pearing; they had to go to make room for the new crop. NOTES. The. new shpw room and conserva- tories of Randolph & McCIements In connection with their new store at Penn Avenue and Whitfield Street, are rapidly nearing completion. About all that now remains to be done is the pipe-fitting and the placing of the fountain and rockery in the show room. When all this is finished this establishment will come so near to being the finest in the country that there will be little ground for argu- ment on that point. A good feature of the location which shows foresight in its selection is that nobody can put up a tall building that may over- shadow theirs. Located on a corner, on the other side is a wide lawn, sur- rounding one of the leading churches and the possibility of it going on the real estate market is very remote. The front of the conservatory on Penn Avenue is a beautiful execution in plate and ornamental glass, while there is even more space for display on the Whitfield Street side. In addi- tion there is another greenhouse be- hind the show room and another over the wagon and shipping shed, the whole comprising a glass area of nearly five thousand square feet. B. L.
