quelicot. Asia is a new soft pink. Eu- 

 gene Danzenvillier is an older variety 

 of lilac color. Prof. Virchow is a 

 splendid variety, but is little known; 

 it is a bright orange-scarlet with heavy 

 panicles. Widar is a lavender-shadjed 

 variety of recent introduction and is 

 extremely attractive. 



At this point -Mr. Clark relieved Mr. 

 Strohlein; stepping forward and point- 

 ing to the next variety, Mr. Clark said 

 with impressive solemnity, "This is 

 one of the best all-round red phloxes 

 in cultivation; this is the variety 

 George A. Strohlein." Mr. Strohlein 

 resumed the lead with the next two va- 

 rieties, Rhinelander and W. C. Ega, two 

 promising aspirants for public favor. 

 Tragedie is a blood red, a striking 

 sort. Hervor is a pink with white 

 eye, recently introduced, a fine thing. 

 The peonies at Locust Farm are just 

 being dug; there is an immense block 

 of them. The Japanese iris are snugly 

 ensconced in their quarters, in rows so 

 regular as to resemble regiments of 

 soldiers on parade. The delphiniums, 

 Belladonna, formosum and Chinense, 

 occupy the next track, looking remark- 

 ably well. Then come the roses; the 

 Cochets and White Cochets occupy a 

 lot of ground and have made good 

 growth during the season. William R. 

 Sjgaith has produced some wonderful 

 ^^Dlobms^ from young plants; 2%-inch 

 pot plants set out in May have thrown 

 canes topped by buds that would rank 

 as specials. Last is No. 208, a white 

 rose — perhaps lemon yellow is more de- 

 scriptive — of Dickson origin that prom- 

 ises well as an outdoor summer rose 

 for cut flowers. 



Various Notes. 



The saffron-shaded pink sport of 

 Rose My Maryland shown at the Octo- 

 ber meeting of the Florists' Club was 

 grown and exhibited by George Burton, 

 of Chestnut Hill. It originated with 

 Mr. Burton three and a half years ago, 

 is prolific and bids fair to rival Mrs. 

 Taft for summer blooming. 



Frank P. Gaul called a meeting of 

 his creditors October 13. The liabilities 

 exceed $4,000. The asse^are small. 

 The business will be discontinued. 



J. H. Pepper, of New York, was in 

 the city this week, 



Myers & Samtman, Wyndmoor, Pa., 

 will erect a cooling room 40 x 48, with 

 three compartments. It will be built
