HORTICULTURE 



is a dwarf early flowering self in red like 

 King Edward and a lavender like Lady 

 (Irisel Hamilton or Flora Norton. Mr. 

 Darlington says Earliest-of-All will bloom in 

 nine weeks, which is one week better than 

 the record for Zvolanek's Christmas. 



Dainty; white, edged with pink, after the 

 style of Modesty, but more pink. Novelty, 

 1905. Lottie Hutchins; cream, with a curi- 

 ous peaked shape. Lottie Eckford and 

 Maid of Honor; varieties with similar shad- 

 ings; improvements on the old " blue and 

 white." 



Black Knight; an improved Koreatton; 

 dark claret. Other good sorts noted among 

 the maroon's were: Monarch, Othello, Duke 

 of Sutherland, and Duke of Clarence. I 

 liked Othello best of all. 



.\urora; creamy white, flaked with salmon; 

 one of the best in the variegated class. 

 Other good ones noted were: Coronet, 

 .America, Gray Friar, Golden Rose, Pink 

 Friar, Juanita, Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain, 

 Ramona, Princess of Wales, and Wawona. 



Lady Grisel Hamilton; this pleases me best, 

 among the light lavenders; larger and purer 

 than Countess of Radnor. New Countess is 

 also good, and two light lavenders sent out 

 recently by Vaughan, Flora Norton and Mrs. 

 (ieorgc Higginson, Jr., are also e.xtra fine. 



Mr. Earl gave me some interesting news 

 of Eckford's latest; but as I am in hopes of 

 inducing him to write down some reminis- 

 cences of his trip abroad this summer, for 

 the benefit of us stay-at-homes, I will refrain 

 from that part of the subject at present. 



Postscript: An artist with a keen eye to 

 color has been comparing Blanche Burpee 

 and Dorothy Eckford since the foregoing was 

 penned, and he is incUned to think that the 

 former is the snowier of the two. Mr. Earl 

 tells me that Duchess of Sutherland (Eck- 

 ford) and Modesty (Burpee) are identical. 

 Both raisers were evidently working on the 

 same selection that year. 'He tells me also 

 that my estimate of Maid of Honor and 

 Lottie Eckford does not chime with the ac- 

 cepted dictum of the e.\perts,'as mo^t of them 

 favor Maid of Honor. I cheerfully acquiesced , 

 as I passed these two rather hurriedly.

PHILADELPHIA NEWS NOTES 



A specimen Lilium auratum, in an 8-ini h 

 pot with twenty-two flowers and standing 

 five feet high, was exhibited this week at 

 Michell's. While bigger things in this line 

 are on record, this plant attracted con.sider 

 able attention. It was grown by .\rtlun 

 Mallon, gardener to Mrs. E. T. Scott, Darby, 

 Pa. 



The standing of the players in the con- 

 vention Iryout for bowling is as follows, with 

 one home match yet to play and rotation 

 and points as follows: Connor, 188.4; Mo.ss, 

 172.3; Pohtgs, 169.7; Yates, 163; Craig, 15.S; 

 Dodds, 152.4; Watson, 151; Habermehl, 151 ; 

 Harris, 149.3; Anderson, 149.2; Westcott, 

 141. Owing to an accident, Robertson drops 

 out of fifth place and Craig now takes his 

 place, %vith Dodds as sub, and this will 

 probably be the team to go to Washington. 



A meeting of the creditors of Joseph Kift 

 & Son was held on the 21st inst. Samuel 

 S. Pennock was appointed trustee and was 

 instructed to continue the business until 

 August 7th, and report in full, as to the situ- 

 ation and prospects. 



Frank Politys is fitting up the store 141 (■ 

 Chestnut street, and will occupy it as soon 

 as completed. This is where another florist, 

 Charies P. Poryzees, got burned out last 

 Easter. 



Emil Wohlert, late with Nelson Brown, at 

 Torresdale, has joined the forces of his 

 brother, A. E. Wohlert, in commercial rose 

 growing and landscape business at Bala, Pa. 



David Emery, a well-known and highly 

 respected private gardener of this vicinity, 

 has rented the Kruger greenhouses at Nar- 

 berth and has taken his brother-in-law, 

 WiUiam Morton, into partnership. The firm 

 style will be Emery & Morton. Extensive 

 repairs are now under way, and fall planting 

 will soon be commenced.
