nations and "cyps." Palms have grown 

 and grown with him until today he has 

 even more palms than roses on his im- 

 mense place. These palms are almost 

 entirely made up of three varieties. Areea 

 lutescens, Kentia Forsteriana and K. 

 Belmoreana. The demand for specimen 

 plants of large size has cleaned up pretty 

 much everything over S-inch. In 8-ineh 

 pots there' are a tine lot of arecas, nice 

 bushy plants, growing well. Two hun- 

 dred of this size of areca were to leave 

 two days after, but these would not be 

 seriously missed among so many. The 

 areas in 0-inch pots were also fine; 400 

 of this size had just left. The foliage all 

 through was of a deep, rich green. In 

 kentias there were shapely madeup as 

 well as single plants. Kentia Forsteriana 

 in 7-inch pots were especially well done. 

 The north side houses devoted to seed- 

 lings are worth seeing — arecas in thumb 

 pots and kentias in the bench, so thick 

 that their condition of perfect health 

 made you wonder. 



The roses were nearly all replanted; 

 by this time the work must be finished. 

 The majority of the houses are in Beau- 

 ties, with one each of Liberty, Brides- 

 maid and Bride. All are strong stuff 

 ' from 4-inch pots, the earlier planted 

 houses breaking nicely. One and a frac- 

 tion houses of Beauties in ground beds 

 will be carried over. The cut of Beauties 

 during May lias been phenomenally 

 heavy, the special grade being numer- 

 ous. Fully 20.000 young Beauty plants 

 have been sold this season. 



Various Notes. 



The trip to Morrisville last week 

 proved delightful. A member of the 

 party spoke in glowing terms of Mr. 

 Moon's hospitality and of the interest- 

 ing trip through the nursery. Jlr. Moon 

 gave a very interesting account of the 

 experience of the past fifty years, the 

 business having been established by his 

 father in the early fifties. 



William L. Walton, of Oxford, Pa., 

 is bringing in some fine Prosperity and 

 Portia to the Flower Market. 



Miss Mary C. Henriei and William 

 Reynolds were married Tuesday evening, 

 June 23. After a very pretty ceremony 

 an elaborate wedding supper was served, 

 in which many of the retailers and 

 wholesalers were participants. Amid 

 bombs, ) ■(,.,.. ,,i,i shoes, etc., the bride and 



groom left that evening for a month's 

 honeymoon at Hightstown, X. J. Mr. 

 Reynolds is with E. Bernheimer. "Billy." 

 we all wish you many years of happiness. 



Cut Crimson Ramblers sold well on, 

 Thursday of last week, a church holiday 

 using lots of these flowers. 



Thomas Foulds is much sought after 

 these days on account of the white pe- 

 tunia Sowers he carries. 



J. J. HabermehFs Sons had a big job 

 in New York in which they used some 

 very choice stock. Some choice orchids 

 found their way to this place. 



Frank W. Whiteley is a gentleman of 

 leisure these days, but he does not for- 

 get to visit his old friends once a week. 



Tearing out and replanting is in full 

 swing just now and there will be several 

 more houses of Liberty planted next year. 

 John Stephenson's Sons, Oak Lane, will 

 have a house of this variety next season. 



J. Wolff, Jr., has been busy with wed- 

 dings and decorations, of which he makes 

 a specialty. He is well equipped for this 

 work, having a large stock of decorative 

 plants at his Sedgely avenue place. 



Mrs. Edgar, of 2307 Ridge avenue, had 

 a very good spring trade. She was un- 

 fortunate in having had an attack of 

 typhoid fever earlier in the season, but 

 has now entirely recovered. 



Albert Woltemate has almost finished 

 his planting out. He has sold a great 

 many crotons this year and says that he 

 is cleaned out nicely of all salable stock. 



E. A. Hutchinson is building a new 

 carnation house, 20x50, at Oxford. Mr. 

 Hutchinson is a beginner who wishes to 

 experiment before regularly embarking in 

 the business. 



Robert Gaul, cousin of the manager of 

 the Century Flower Shop, and Max Ja- 

 now, late with William J. Moore, form 



pony battery of the Flower Mar- 



Edward Reid lost a valuable hunting 

 dog. After one week of advertising (not 

 in the Review) and fruitless search 

 John Mclntyre did some clever detective 

 work, locating the dog on South Broad 

 street and following him to the home of 

 his temporary master. A raid on front 

 and back entrances simultaneously re- 

 sulted in restoring the lost canine to its 

 rightful owner. 



John I. Heibeck, of Oxford, Pa., is tear- 

 ing down the greenhouses on a property 



lately acquired, with the intention of re- 

 building in more substantial style. 



Bowline. 



The third series of games for places 

 on the team to represent this city in

 leys last week. Win. Stevens was unable 

 to participate. The following are the

Picnic Plans. 



The "good old summer time'' is still 

 off the track somewhere and the weather 

 for three weeks has been a disgrace to 

 itself and a menace to humanity. Not 

 content with eight weeks of drought, we 

 have been literally swamped with three 

 weeks of rain. Weather prophets now 

 predict a change with the moon on Thurs- 

 day and a 90 degree temperature there- 

 after. In any event, we must have fine 

 weather on July 1, for the club's outing 

 will be the greatest gathering in its re- 

 creating history. The demand for tickets 

 is great, Mr. Traendly says, and he is 

 far in advance of last seasons' record at 

 the same date. Whole families are go- 

 ing, and while moderation in all things 

 will prevail, it is now an assured fact 

 that the boat will be full. Some idea 

 of the numbers may be gathered by the 

 knowledge that J. Reimel, of Woodhaven, 

 has sent for eight tickets, and Louis 

 Schmutz, of Flatbush, for six, while many 

 of the club members have purchased four 

 or more, and about every active or prom- 

 inent member will be there. The athletic 

 part of the day is well attended to. In 

 addition to the splendid prizes already 

 announced, Chas. Schenck will give a
