Oh, that is simple enough: the suc- cessful purchasers cabled, while the forty-five wrote. The Bedles Cup. A friend, of horticultural taste and liberal mind, offered a silver cup for competition at the February meeting of the Germantown Horticultural So- ciety. The cup, made of silver, he pre- sented in the name of G. Francis Kedles, the youngest member of the society. G. Francis Eedles is the son of George Redles, the society's able secretary. This friend of the society and of Master Redles is a lover of carnations. He stipulated that the competition should be for the best twenty-five carnations of one or more varieties, as the exhibitor might prefer. There were a number of entries, but some fell by the wayside. Only three fine entries of twenty-five blooms were staged. So keen was the competition that the judges, one of whom was a lady, a member of the so- ciety, awarded distinction to the un- successful competitors that must have cheered them mightily in the hour of defeat. The Redles cup was captured by a real live countess. Thomas A. Gaynor, gardener to the Countess de Santa Eulalia, was the winner. The meeting was crowded. There were numerous exhibits in the regular classes. One honorary and five active members were elected. At the Bellevue-Stratford. Edward Habermehl obligingly dis- cussed a few points of general interest in his firm's beautiful flower shop in the Bellevue-Stratford hotel one afternoon this week. Mr. Habermehl thought that the storm had not made much difference in the demand for floral valentines, which was good, though not in excess of last season. He said that while heart baskets, forget-me-nots and other strictly sentimental souvenirs of affec- tion were sent, a pretty bunch of flow- ers was much more generally favored. Mr. Habermehl believes that the scar- city of well-grown medium grade stock at this season drives away many flower buyers of moderate means. He further believes that greater variety in high grade roses would broaden the market. He considers Mrs. Charles Russell, when well grown, a great acquisition and finds lilacs, fancy snapdragon and Acacia pu- beseens help out wonderfully. Various Notes. R. O. King, of North Tonawanda, N. Y., was here February 16. John Stanley has taken possession of the greenhouse range owned and oper- ated by J. L. Maull, at Whitford, Pa. This range, formerly known as the Mill- brook Lea Greenhouses, was for many years owned by Maull & Howell. Two or three years ago J. Lardner Howell withdrew from the firm. JSTow J. L.
