Potato growing is increasing. Three 

 crops are harvested in one year and 

 they are fine. Onions are grown in 

 moderate numbers. There are great 

 fields of parsley and lettuce grown for 

 the New York market. The British 

 government has established an agricul- 

 tural station for the purpose of help- 

 ing the farmers by testing their seeds 

 and giving them cultural aid. 



Various Notes. 



E. E. Martin purchased the retail 

 business, lease, good will and fixtures at 

 1725 Chestnut street April 17, from 

 the creditors of Ludwig P. VoUers. Mr. 

 Martin assumed control April 18, but 

 it will take a few days more to obtain 

 the court's legal assent. 



Bertrand H. Farr, of Wyomissing, 

 Pa., spoke on irises before the Penn- 

 sylvania Horticultural Society April 18. 

 The society's spring show was omitted 

 in deference to the N. F. S. 



Kodman M. Fisenhart, of Torresdale, 

 Pa., was a successful sweet pea exhib- 

 itor at the New York show. 



Milton H. Bickley issued invitations 

 for Palm Sunday to his greenhouses at 

 Palmer's Corner, Chester, Pa. A large 

 crowd visited the place during the day, 

 enjoying the fine azaleas, spiraeas, hya- 

 cinths, carnations, etc. Mr. Bickley 

 was assisted throughout the day by 

 William J. Muth, which perhaps ac- 

 counts for the rumor that three stun- 

 ning King houses will be added to the 

 plant ere long. 



H. Bayersdorfer paid his fifth visit 

 to the British legation in Washington 

 April 13. Mr. Bayersdorfer is fighting 

 hard to recover a permit for his Ger- 

 man goods to come here. It was is- 

 sued some time ago. No one seems to 

 know just where this permit may be. 

 Its recovery entails a lot of hard work. 



Walter Davis has been assisting E. R. 

 Martin in his new store this week. Mr. 

 Martin will continue his downtown 

 store, on Passayunk avenue. 



The M. Rice Co. has followed a rec- 

 ord-breaking Easter season with an 

 early start for Memorial day. Two 

 of the enterprising young men have just 

 returned from a most encouraging visit 

 to Boston.

front page of its pictorial section April 

 9 to a reproduction of the Charles 

 Henry Fox design in flowers, ' ' A Bit of 

 Old Rome," which took the Public 

 Ledger prize at the N. F. 8. The idea 

 was illustrated in The Review some 

 years ago, when Mr. Fox first brought 

 it out.

The Market. 



The market closed on Saturday, April 

 15, with a bountiful supply of stock, 

 particularly roses and lilies. Beauties 

 of late have been dragging, though the 

 quality is fine. The Killarney s, espe- 

 cially White Killarney, have been ac- 

 cumulating. Other roses continue to 

 sell. Of course, all roses below excel- 

 lent are hanging just at present. Car- 

 nations have shown no appreciable
