The Weekly Florists' Review, 



NOT BAD SOWING. 



Deak Kditor: I notice tliat in your 

 issue of March 21 a conespondent sign- 

 ing himself "Phil" has attempted to ini 

 preis upon my friends and the public 

 that the sowing done by myself or un- 

 der my management caused a failure of 

 the greenhouse end of the business I sold 

 last year, and suggests that the results 

 will be more satisfactory when the pres- 

 ent owners can reap from their own sow- 

 ing. 



'Thil" has no foundation for such an 

 attack upon my place and men. He has 

 been falsely informed or has allowed his 

 imagination to run away with him. The 

 houses that were planted with roses at 

 the time the place was turned over to 

 ray successor were in first-class condition 

 and had made good, vigorous growth, pro- 

 <lucing good flowers until some time in 

 November, when for some reasons that 

 I had nothing to do with they had a 

 very bad setback and many were thrown 

 out. The carnations were in the field 

 and were good, healthy stock. I turned 

 the place over the first of September, 

 1900. 



In defense of my foreman and all oth- 

 ers in my employ, I remain, yours, 



E. HiPPARD.

FRANKLIN, PA. 



W. T. Bell & Sons liave bought twenty- 

 seven acres of land at Niles Station, on 

 the L. S. & M. S. K. K., five miles from 

 this place, and early in the season will 

 build two carnation houses, each 27x'.200 

 feet; the product from which will be 

 sent to their larger place in Franklin. 

 or shipped direct to customers. Water 

 from a fine spring will be piped more 

 than half a mile, and will give a pres- 

 sure of sixty pounds in the houses. 



A large stock of young carnation 

 plants in excellent condition is now in 

 two-inch pots ready for planting out 

 at the new place as soon as the weather 

 will permit; and a portion of the ma- 

 terial for the buildings, including glass, 

 has already been bought. This addition 

 will give them 35,000 square feet of glass 

 to use. 



W. T. Bell, the father, has been en- 

 gaged in business here as a florist for 

 more than thirty-two years; while the 

 sons, John and Philip, were admitted 

 to the partnership three years since.
