We Were Somewhat 

 in a Hurry 



to have this adv. placed In this week's issue of the 

 Review so as to reach you in time for your next 

 order in Florists' Supplies. 



To bespatter this pag[e with ink may be an 

 untidy attraction^ but we ask you to overlook this 

 fault and remember that our next effort will lead 

 to a better result. 



Your requirements in Florists' Supplies de- 

 mands our attention. Write us.

should, but better things are looked for 

 next week. St. Valentine 's usually creates 

 lively demand. Forget-me-nots appear 

 to be nearly out of market, inquiry at 

 the leading wholesale centers failing to 

 elicit information of any quantity ex- 

 pected for next week. The novelties of 

 the day are pale pink ten-week stocks at 

 Eugene Bernheimer's and double daffo- 

 dils (Narcissus Von Sion) at S. S. Pen- 

 nock's and W. J. Baker's. Greens are 

 scarcer than at any time this season, 

 the bunches of asparagus showing the 

 effect of the season's demand. 



Two Flower Seeds. 



Johnson & Stokes are making a spe- 

 cialty of asters. They report the six 

 leading varieties to be Truffaut 's Peony- 

 flowered, Queen of the Market, Comet, 

 Queen Victoria, HohenzoUern and Sem- 

 ple's Branching. Of these the first five 

 should be grown from German seed, the 

 last one, Semple's Branching, being the 

 only one that California produces in 

 really first-class form. This is of in- 

 terest, as the German seed costs from 

 fortjf to fifty per cent more than the 

 American. The disadvantage of our 

 home-grown aster seed is that the flowers 

 are more apt to come with a yellow disc 

 in the center and do not show the vigor 

 of the full and perfect German flowers. 



In speaking of alyssum, Mr. Sherry, of 

 this firm, named three varieties: A. 

 maritimum,^ the true sweet alyssum; A. 

 maritimum Benthami and A. compactum 

 procumbens, the last named being the 

 true Little Gem so much prized for bas- 

 kets, borders, etc. Either the first or 

 second are superior for cut flowers. 



Carnation Night. 



The carnation meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, held Tuesday evening, February 6, 

 was a brilliant success. The attendance 

 was large and the interest keen. Ex- 

 hibits were very numerous and quality 

 excellent. 



W. J. and M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne, 

 Ind., sent Glendale in perfect condition. 

 Weber & Sons Co., Oakland, Md., sent 

 My Maryland, Jessica and No. 9, a 

 handsome fancy flower. Peter Fisher, 

 Ellis, Mass., sent Evalina and Beacon. 

 F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y., brought 

 Winsor in grand shape, also White En- 

 chantress, Variegated Lawson and Helen 

 Gould. The Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. 

 Y., sent Eobert Craig, very fine. A. J. 

 Guttman, New York, brought a splendid 

 vase of Victory. J. E. Haines, Bethle- 

 hem, Pa., was present with the carnation 

 bearing his name. The Strafford Flower 

 Farm exhibited My Maryland, Lawson, 

 Lady Bountiful, Lieut. Peary and En- 



chantress. John Kuhn exhibited No. 

 24, soft pink, and No. 15, deep pink. 

 Charles Leisy exhibited a number of 

 seedlings. 



The speakers of the evening were 

 Robert Craig, F. R. Pierson, E. A. 

 Stroud, A. J. Guttman, Wm. Kleinheinz 

 and John E. Haines. ^.

Garrettsford. 



Floriculturally Garrettsford is famous 

 as the residence of David Anderson, Wm. 

 Munro and James Verner. Garrettsford 

 has other claims to prominence. It is 

 beautifully situated, high rolling country,, 

 picturesque cottages scattered about, not 

 too closely, to take away from its rural 

 appearance, and last, but by no meana 

 least, Garrettsford has a station on the 

 new Chester trolley, which, as the inhabi- 

 tants tell you, will carry passengers to 

 City hall in twenty minutes. They look 

 at you earnestly when imparting this in- 

 formation to see whether you believe it 

 or no. In fact, I am somewhat inclined 

 to doubt whether they believe it them- 

 selves, as the railroad takes fully that 

 long, but when you consider that the cars 

 on this Chester trolley line are to cost 

 from $10,000 to $12,000 apiece and will 

 go through the subway, you are pre- 

 pared almost to believe the twenty min- 

 utes.
