The Michjll plot is handsomely laid 

 out, with a large central bed of crotons, 

 two smaller beds, one on each side, 

 filled with flowering vincas and the 

 new scarlet verbena, Karl Muller. As 

 a background a large bed has been 

 laid out along the line of the hall. This 

 is filled with evergreens of choice va- 

 rieties, the yellow canna, Mrs. Alexan- 

 der Wallace, and the handsome scarlet 

 geranium, Alphonse Eicard. These 

 four beds are laid out on a velvet 

 green carpet of grass. The remarkable 

 feature about this grass is that while 

 the seed was sown about the middle of 

 July, it is now, early in August, luxu- 

 riant as though in its second season. 

 Thanks to the choice special Evergreen 

 mixture, to the heat, to the rain, to 

 the mowing, to say nothing of the care- 

 ful preparation of the soil, this lawn 

 is really wonderful. 



The Dreer plot on the eastern side 

 shows a lawn of superb quality. The 



grass is worthy of the highest praise. 

 The planting is in keeping with the 

 surroundings. The center of the plot 

 is filled by a specimen Phoenix rupi- 

 cola. On either side of this beautiful 

 specimen palm are choice beds of 

 Dreer 's double fringed petunias just 

 coming into bloom. The bed bordering 

 the hall, which forms a background, 

 is filled with two varieties of cannas, 

 a dwarf and a taller growing sort; in 

 front of these an edging of pennisetum. 

 Both exhibits, planted so recently, 

 are now object lessons in the best 

 floral taste that will elevate the stand- 

 ard in many of our city and suburban 

 homes. 



Various Notes. ' 



H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayers- 

 dorfer are expected to reach this city 

 August 5 on their return from Japan. 



B. Eschner, writing from Sitka, 

 Alaska, to a friend in. this city, says: 



"We are having a wonderful trip, see- 

 ing many unusual sigh^ts; only one 

 florist's shop and he subscribes for 

 The Keview and he was glad to see a 

 Rice man, as he had read our ads in 

 The Review." 



Samuel W. Sproul, right-hand man 

 for Stuart H. Miller, was married July 

 28 to Miss Mildred — I am not quite 

 sure of the lady's last name. She will 

 receive your best wishes as Mrs. Sam- 

 uel W. Sproul. 



Charles H. Grakelow will open a 

 new store at Broad and Cumberland 

 streets about October 1, to which loca- 

 tion he will move his business from his 

 present quarters on Cumberland street. 



William G. Stephen, with Berger 

 Bros., has returned from a pleasant 

 vacation spent at the seashore and in 

 calling on the neighboring florists. 



Robert Q. Shoch reports conditions 

 in the south as encouraging. His 

 orders have been larger this season
