considerable glass and Labo also eai- 

 fered severely. 



There is a new daughter at the home 

 of J. P. Foley. This is number seven. 

 P. J. Foley has six children and there 

 is another brother out west who has done 

 as much for his country. 



D. W. Brant has been shipping all his 

 stock from the greenhouses at Forest 

 Glen ever since the express drivers ' strike 

 began, as indeed he does most of it at 

 all seasons. He has now closed his stand 

 at 60 Wabash avenue for the summer. 



Bryant & Sons, at Princeton, 111., sent 

 Kennicott Bros. Co. a heavy cut of very 

 fine peonies last week. They always have 

 had good sorts and grown them well, 

 but it is only in the last year or two that 

 they have learned to put them up in 

 first-class shape. The first of their cut 

 came in at just the right time to catch 

 the good prices which prevailed up to 

 Saturday. 



The Geo. Wittbold Co. believes in hav- 

 ing things up-to-date. They now have 

 a private telephone exchange with two 

 trunk lines and connections to all depart- 

 ments of their Buckingham place estab- 

 lishment. Another recent acquisition is 

 an adding machine for the benefit of the 

 bookkeepers. It cost $375. As soon as 

 the season's rush is over they will erect 

 a new ofiice building just west of the 

 Buckingham place store, larger facilities 

 being necessary in this department. 



J. A. Budlong left June 1 for another 

 of his periodical bicycle trips to visit 

 relatives in Bhode Island and trade cen- 

 ters of interest in the east. He is likely 

 to be gone most of the summer. 



F. A. Bailer, of Bloomington, has 

 been sending Yaughan & Sperry some 

 very nice peonies in the past ten days. 

 He remembered the Review office with a 

 bunch of fine blooms. 



Waldheim Cemetery will invest $25,000 

 in a new administration building, a 

 feature of which will be a large conserva- 

 tory. 



John Muno expresses complete satisfac- 

 tion with the outcome of the season, hav- 

 ing substituted carnations for roses in a 

 large part of his range last fall. 



Frank Cummings, of Meridian, Miss., 

 was among the week's visitors. 



Peter ]E^inberg reports shipping trade 

 good. They are strong on Liberty and 

 Chatenay and also on red carnations. 



It is reported that Lubliner & Trinz 

 have been offered $10,000 for the lease 

 they hold on the store at 44 Bandolph 

 street, covering six years. It is stated 

 that they have declined the offer. 



Coreopsis in quantity is arriving at the 

 E. F. Winterson Co.'s. 



Mrs. E. F. Winterson has been ill for 

 some time and underwent a surgical 

 operation last week. She is now con- 

 valescing rapidly. 



The A. L. Randall Co. reports selling 

 500,000 ferns very quickly last week, 

 stock which had been in cold storage since 

 December. 



Mons Olson, who has been with J. A. 

 Budlong for several years, is now with 

 Zech & Mann. 



L. Coatsworth and wife returned on 

 Saturday from a week spent at Mr. 

 Coatsworth 's home in Canada, where they 

 were called by a death in the family. 



Wietor Bros, already have a large part 

 of their rose houses planted. They have 

 practically ten acres in carnation plants 

 this season. 



J. A. Budlong has put in one of the 

 largest ice-boxes in town at the green- 

 houses for cooling the stock. The box is 

 10x20 feet and eight feet high.

PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market 



The advent of June has brought a 

 cecided increase in business in cut 

 flowers and decorative plants. The close 

 of the horse show last week wa3 

 marked by considerable entertaining 

 clue to many visitors in the city. The 

 weddings this week, the flower festi- 

 val at Atlantic City on "Wednesday 

 j>nd the commencements, notably that 

 at Bryn Mawr on Thursday, together 

 with considerable shipping to more dis- 

 tant points, have combined to make 

 the present a very lively week. The 

 demand is chiefly for choice roses, 

 which are quite scarce, white peonios, 

 liJy of the valley and sweet peas. Car- 

 nations and pink peonies are .abun- 

 dant but not in demand. There arc 

 a few nice orchids, some gardenias and 

 Easter lilies, all quite popular. The 

 volume of business is very large, prices 

 excellent on select stock, though low 

 on ordinary grades. 



The Milbrook-Lee Greenhottses. 



J. Lehman Maull and J. Lardner 

 Howell, trading as Maull & Howell, 

 have some 30,000 feet of glass on the 

 hillside near Whitford station, where 

 the Trenton cut-off joins the main line 

 of the Pennsylvania R. K. Through 

 the courtesy of Mr. Maull, John Cur- 

 wen and Phil were shown through this 

 range of glass one afternoon recently. 

 The older range, built some twelve 

 years ago, consists of two series of 

 Lcuses rising one above the other in 

 the rear of Mr. Maull 's home. The 

 new range, the highest of all, is on 

 comparatively level made ground ou 

 the hill crest. This new range con- 

 sists of two houses each 30x200 feet, 

 built two years ago by J. L. Dillon, 

 heated by steam with Lord & Burn- 

 hhm boilers. These houses each contain 

 four beds five feet wide, and, except for 

 one bed of asparagus, are entirely 

 filled with carnations that now look, 

 under the shaded glass, quite as well as 

 most plants in mid-winter. Enchan- 

 tress and Queen Louise are especially 

 fine. The lower ranges, containing 

 niany carnations in benches and beds, 

 some sweet peas, swainsona, sweet alys- 

 sum, a house of Jacob Becker's Ideal, 

 or improved La Prance, and a larjje 

 house of very fine Asparagus phinio- 

 sus. In the field some 35,000 car-
