Mention The Review when you write. 



Johnson & Stokes are calling atten- 

 tion to the probable shortage in several 

 important vegetable seeds, recommend- 

 ing the placing of early orders. 



The army of Holland bulb growers' 

 salesmen has been hard at work since 

 New Year's industriously canvassing this 

 country. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. propose mak- 

 ing a specialty of twig baskets in all 

 sizes for Easter. They are very pretty 

 and will make excellent ground work for 

 display effects. 



Albert Woltemate and George Eedles 

 have been visiting among the members 

 of the Germantown Horticultural So- 

 ciety. They propose interesting J. F. 

 Mergenthaler in that active body. 



The recent public utterances of David 

 Eust, though somewhat guarded, like 

 that at the Grecian oracle at Delphi, 

 lead to the hope among the cut flower 

 men that he may occasionally be seen 

 at their camp, even at the holidays. 

 Answers to Correspondents. 



Eevikw readers are invited to send 

 any questions relating to culture or mar- 



keting of plants and flowers in Phila- 

 delphia to Phil, in care of any of the 

 leading seed or commission houses or 

 the Flower Market. Each question will 

 be submitted to a competent person and 

 answered under number. Correct name 

 and address must always accompany in- 

 quiry, but will not be published. 



24-— I have been shipping carnations to 

 a commission house until after Christ- 

 mas. The returns were poor. I changed 

 to another commission house, with worse 

 results. "Would I do better by dividing 

 my stock and shipping half to one and 

 half to the other? 



It is not a good plan to divide ship- 

 ments unless the place is a very large 

 one. Changing around during the sea- 

 son is one of the evils of our business. 

 When a commission man develops a trade 

 for your stock it is only fair to stand 

 by him until the end of the season. 

 When returns are poor, go in town and 

 look carefully over the field yourself 

 before making a change. It will pay. 



25 — Who is the best general cultural 

 writer of the day! William Scott, of 



Buffalo, who tvrites for the Eeview. 



27— Why is K styled the Thorley of 

 Philadelphia t An old joke of Charles 

 E. Meehan, who said in his explanation: 

 "Whenever there is anything good, he 

 wants it." Phil.
