of stem tells, uo unevenness or cutting 

 down as is necessary on a smaller place. 

 Sunrise is making sturdy growth here. 

 John Burton has both his places in 

 the best of order, all the roses looking 

 well. The features of the old place are 

 a house of Brunncrs grown in boxes, 

 well budded and timed. Two houses of 

 American Belle well worth seeing and 

 a house of cyps pronounced by experts 

 the finest they ha'd ever seen, one 5-incli 

 pot having six large blooms. 



About twenty years ago nest month 

 three leaders in our calling received 

 some wonderful flowers of a new rose 

 called American Beauty. They jour- 

 neyed straightway to Washington and 

 bought the entire stock, some .30.000 

 cuttings, from George Field, who had 

 given a gardener five dollars for the 

 parent plant, chiefly to get rid of him. 

 Everybody tried the new rose and no- 

 body could grow it, so Robert Craig 

 wrote an essay on how to grow Ameri- 

 can Beauties, which George Field com- 

 mended, and soon success began to fol- 

 low. Xow there are acres and acres of 

 Beauties. 



Leo Niessen is receiving some extra 

 fine valley that commands $5 a hundred. 

 Myers & Desserable will vacate their 

 Glenside place on March 1 owing to its 

 purchase by the Harrison Estate. They 

 will then remove to their branch place 

 at Mt. Airy. They are cutting some 

 .fine maiden hair at Glenside. 



David Ander.son, of Garretsford, Pa., 

 is pleased with his change from teas to 

 Beauties. He prefers solid beds to 

 benches, believing they produce better 

 flowers. 



E. Bernheimer is receiving some ex- 

 tra fine Lady Campbell and California 

 violets. 



Edwin Lonsdale had an experience on 

 the night of Thursday, December 12. 

 His regular night fireman was ill and 

 the substitute disturbed an intruder in 

 one of the houses and later saw three 

 men carrying off Lorraine begonias and 

 other plants. The fireman fired a shot, 

 but the rascals got away, leaving the 

 plants behind them. 



Charles E. Meehan has a nice lot of 

 white and yellow chrysanthemum Mrs. 

 Jerome Jones for Christmas. 



Henry F. Michell devotes a page of 

 his catalogue to Howard & Sons' new 

 star petunia, which is at last on the 

 market. 



The council of the Pennsylvania Hor- 

 ticultural Society suggested a strong 

 ticket to the members at their Novem- 

 ber meeting. This ticket was then nom- 

 inated without opposition and elected on 

 Tuesday evening last. It was as fol- 

 lows:

Chas. Fox has his conservatory filled 

 with poinsettias. 



Pennock Bros.' window had an enor- 

 mous bunch of poinsettias and migno- 

 nette in the center. 



An up town "novelty" — Christmas 

 bells of red immortelles. 



Many retailers have invested in spruce 

 and retinosporas and potted them in 

 from 6 to 10-ineh pots for Christmas. 

 These seem good stock. PniL.
