JOSEPH HEACOCK, Wyncote, Pa. 



Mention The Kevlew when you write. 



with difficult sorts has been made that 

 should result in the future. 



The Philadelphia Rambler in all 

 stages of growth was a very interesting 

 sight. Mr. Wintzer considers it un- 

 questionably an improvement on the 

 Crimson Rambler. A bed of Hydrangea 

 paniculata grandiflora closely planted 

 was pointed out as an example of the 

 way this variety can be made to hold 

 up'its heads of bloom. The grounds are 

 filled with great quantities of shrubs 

 and small fruits. 



After a hearty clasp of the hand of 

 the representative of the Conard & Jones 

 Co., the Philadelphians turned Patrick's 

 head toward the West Grove Inn and 

 dinner. 



Various Notes. 



M. Rice & Co. are receiving fresh im- 

 portations of immortelles, immortelle 

 wreaths and moss wreaths. 



The flower store in the new Belle- 

 vue-Stratford hotel, to be occupied by 

 J. J. Habermehl's Sons, will, it is said, 

 be ready early in October. 



R. G. Palmer, of Doylestown, built a 

 new house the past summer which he 

 has planted with Brides and Maids. Two 

 of his other houses are planted with car- 

 nations. 



Charles F. Edgar & Co. are receiv- 

 ing shipments of good single violets. 



Wm. Wunder, of Pittville, is sending 

 in fine blooms of Enchantress to tin; 

 Flower Market. 



Pennock Bros, had a showy windo\\ 

 this week, just a vase of Dahlia Clifford 

 W. Bruton, yellow, very decorative, and 

 ferns. 



Edward Reid is expected home next 

 Sunday. 



F. & H. Mergenthaler, of German- 

 town, are sending exceptionally fine, 

 heavy-stemmed Kaiserins to the Flower 

 Market. 



Samuel S. Pennock is receiving choice 

 cattleyas and dendrobiums, also early 

 white and pink chrysanthemums. 



The first president's reception at tlie 

 Florists' Club next Tuesday evening is 

 being looked forward to with eagerness. 



Eugene Bernheimer has been out in 

 Chester and Lancaster counties. Among 

 other things, he spoke with pleasuro of 

 a visit to John E. Haines, of Bethlehem, 

 a grower par excellence of seedling car- 

 nations. Mr. Haines has many seed- 

 lings of promise. A scarlet in particular, 

 now five years old, should make a stir 

 when sent out in the spring of 1906. 



Wm. J. Baker is receiving some nice 

 blooms of Fair Maid. 



Phil desires to inform his grace of 

 York that Glencoe was sold last Wednes- 

 day. 



Joseph Heacock records an increasing 

 demand for fine kentias. 



A story is told — you must judge of 

 its accuracy — of two sporty florists re- 

 turning from Atlantic City. It was hot 

 but so dusty that the parlor car win- 

 dows were closed. To their surprise 

 they saw a pretty girl in a chair nearby 

 take off her shoe and stocking and after 

 carefully turning the stocking inside out 

 both were put on again. This was re- 

 peated with the other shoe and the sports 

 matched coins to see who should find 

 out the reason for this strange perform- 

 ance. Bowing politely, the loser asked 



the girl if she would explain her action. 

 At first she appeared annoyed but finally 

 said, "I was so hot I just turned tho 

 hose on myself." Phil. 



LIGHT COLORED FOLIAGE. 



I have observed that this season there 

 is a great tendency to pale colored foli- 

 age on chrysanthemums, especially 

 where water direct from deep chalk wells 

 has to be used. The excess of lime in 

 such water prevents a proper development 

 of chlorophyll to the leaves, hence a pale- 

 ness in color. 



To counteract this defect in the foliage 

 sulphate of iron, sulphate of ammonia, 

 and nitrate of soda should be employed. 

 Either of the two former applied to' the 

 roots in a liquid state twice weekly, at 

 the rate of half an ounce to a gallon of 

 water, will quickly change the color of 

 the leaves. At the same time give the 

 plants less water than they have been 

 regularly receiving; keep them slightly 

 on the dry side. The cause of loss in 

 color was a partial check to the activity 

 of the roots, and to continue an excess 

 of water cannot be beneficial. If the 

 plants are at all weak or backward in 

 growth, half a teaspoonful of nitrate of 

 soda, finely powdered and sprinkled on 

 the surface of each 9-inch pot, water- 

 ing it in, will quickly improve the color 

 of the leaves and hasten the growth. — 

 E. MoLYNEUX, in Gardeners' Magazine. 



The Review is "it" among the trade 

 papers. It has the most up-to-date and 

 timely articles of general interest. I 

 could not get along without it. — F. J. 

 McSwEENBT.
