indoor peonies and delphinium. The 

 indoor peonies while very good are 

 not meeting with the ready sale that 

 would warrant th^ir taking up space 

 ii' the greenhouses and hardly bring 

 back production costs. Callas are 

 plentiful, but the supply of lilies is 

 not large. Washington dailies are al- 

 ready putting forth a plea for the wear- 

 ing of a carnation on Sunday next in 

 the honor of mothers, living and dead, 

 and the local florists are planning to 

 take advantage of "Mothers' Day." It 

 Is expected that there will be a heavy 

 run on this flower but, regardless of a 

 reported shortage at the present time, 

 it is believed that all calls will be at- 

 tended to. 



NEWS NOTES. 

 Washington, D. C. — Considerable In- 

 terest is being manifested in the an- 

 nual rose show of the Brookland Citi- 

 zens' Association to be held in Brook- 

 land, D. C, late this month and the 

 tiumber of entries is already large. No 

 admission will be charged to the pub- 

 lic to view the display. Miss Belle C. 

 Saunders, of the Agricultural Depart- 

 ment, C. Leslie Reynolds, superintend- 

 ent of the Botanical Gardens, and Dr. 

 John A. Parker, of the Catholic Uni- 

 versity, will be the judges. 



Washington, N. J, — This town, al- 

 though of lesser fame than its name- 

 sake further south, yet enjoys a flori- 

 cultural distinction of no small magni- 

 tude and its most distinguished citi- 

 zen, floriculturally. is Alonzo J. Bryan, 

 who holds his own in his particular 

 line just as well as his namesake in 

 Washington, D. C. does in his. Alonzo 

 J. doesn't claim relationship to W. J., 

 tut he does claim to control an im- 

 mense plant shipping trade North, 

 South, East and West, and that is 

 glory enough for him. He is well lo- 

 cated for transportation facilities and 

 "with 130 acres of rich soil, clear coun- 

 try air, and an inexhaustible water 

 supply piped all over that area, he 

 has all the natural requirements for 

 an unlimited business. There are 

 eight ample greenhouses, two of 

 ■which are new, 36 x 144 feet each, 

 Jacobs construction, and long lines ot 

 frames filled with stock, all of which 

 will be found listed in his advertise- 

 ment in this paper. One hundred 

 thousand sturdy geraniums are ready 

 this season, but next year he proposes 

 to handle half a million and we see 

 no reason why he cannot, if he con- 

 tinues to advertise in Hortic0ltube,
