and Maids especially being taken as 

 substitutes. Violets continue in active 

 demand, quality bringing good value. 

 Small orchids, cypripediums and onci- 

 diums are more plentiful. Beauties, 

 ■which have been plentiful, were more 

 eagerly bought as Thanksgiving drew 

 near. Prices are advancing. Both Lib- 

 erty and Eichmond are improving. Some 

 very choice stock is offered. Chrysan- 

 themums are less plentiful; general 

 quality excellent; demand brisk; prices 

 firmer. Holly has made its appearance 

 in several centers. It is generally well 

 berried. Greens are selling better. 



A Christening. 



Last Friday evening, November 24, 

 six chosen spirits gathered in the city 

 of Brotherly Love to christen John A. 

 Shellem's new rose. Eeaders of the Ee- 

 VIKW will remember that this new 

 American seedling is a white and pink 

 tea, very vigorous, believed to have a 

 great future as an outdoor rose. Eobert 

 Craig made a great speech, christening 

 the new rose William B. Smith in honor 

 of our dear old friend who loves "the 

 bonnie Scotch heather. ' ' 



QaaHty Tells. 



"It is better to have 100 trees live 

 out of 100 planted than to have only 

 eighty-five out of 100 live." That sen- 

 tence expresses clearly the idea Wil- 

 liam Warner Harper, aided by John H. 

 Humphries, has steadily followed up at 

 the Andorra Nurseries. That idea is 

 evidenced in many ways. The planting 

 is further apart than usually seen, to in- 

 sure the safety of the next tree 's roots 

 in lifting. The lifting is not done until 

 the order is received. Then it is pushed 

 as rapidly as safety will permit. They 

 have gradually discarded the poorer, less 

 desirable trees and evergreens, growing 

 in their places the better varieties that 

 thrive readily under intelligent care, 

 giving something worth having.

avenues near Horticultural hall in Fair- 

 mount park, is a specialty at the Andor- 

 ra Nurseries. They have them in all 

 sizes, transplanted frequently. The 

 stock of specimens of bush box is enor- 

 mous, larger probably than anywhere in 

 Holland. They are in perfect condition, 

 from three to four feet high, well pro- 

 portioned, with plenty of room to grow. 

 Opposite the box Mr. Humphries 



pointed out as pretty a field of ever- 

 greens as one could wish to see. They 

 were transplanted last August, the com- 

 mon-sense time for transplanting ever- 

 greens. There was not a soldier missing 

 from the ranks, retinosporas, junipers, 

 pines in long rows to the south. Down 

 the hillside, on the northern and north- 

 eastern slopes were great fields of 

 Ehododendron maximum and kalmias.
