New Plants. 



I wrote you some time ago regarding 

 a white vinca and will say it has come 

 to stay. I have two plants in fine con- 

 dition, planted on a solid bed, which 

 have a dozen fine runners on each plant. 

 They have not up to the present showed 

 a trace of green or variegated leaf. They 

 are as vigorous as Vinca variegata in 

 every way. 



A double frond sport from Scottii has 

 made its appearance. ' The newcomer 

 has made fine runners and young ferns 

 have made their appearance on them, 

 but are yet not large enough to speak 

 about them. I will write you again re- 

 garding both plants as they grow in size.

THE COAL STRIKE. 



It will be reassuring news to the 

 greenhouse owners in the east that the 

 miners in the anthracite coal fields have 

 accepted the original proposition of the 

 employers and will enter into contract 

 for a continuance of operations at the 

 same wage as has prevailed since the 

 settlement of the last big strike. This 



NOTES FROM ENGLAND. 



Fruit growers will have a plentiful 

 crop this season, especially in plums and 

 apples, providing we get no late frosts to 

 nip the blossoms. There has never been 

 a better show of blossoms. Fruit growing 

 is being treated more and more scien- 

 tifically and it is now an important item 

 of agriculture. Apples for several years 

 have paid the best. This has caused a 

 good trade to be done in nursery trees, 

 the nurserymen's stocks of all sizes be- 

 ing quite cleared. 



Easter week in the cut flower and 

 plant trade was very good, the best ex- 

 perienced for years. 



London has lately been provided with 

 a new fruit and flower market, a splen- 

 didly arranged market being opened at 

 Brentford, on the west of London. Pre- 

 viously Brentford market wap carried on 

 in nothing more than an open space, and 

 Covent Garden has for a long time been 

 too crowded for the proper conduct of 

 business. J. B.

assures a supply of hard coal for next 

 season at practically the same prices 

 paid the past year. 



The action of the miners of anthracite 

 seems likely to hasten the adjustment of 

 the wage question in the bituminous 

 fields, where many thousands of men are 

 now on strike for increased pay. It is 

 thought the miners in the west soon will 

 see the folly of holding out for that 

 which the men of the eastern fields have 

 thought it unwise to try to secure. Mar- 

 ket conditions also help to encourage the 

 mine owners to resist the demands of the 

 miners. Coal never was cheaper, all 

 things considered. Nearly all the big 

 consumei's have supplied themselves with 

 fuel in suflBcient quantities to make it 

 unnecessary to purchase coal for some

months and the approach of summer 

 makes the , prospect of a decrease in 

 prices still more likely. The chances 

 are that greenhouse owners who are in a 

 position to take in their winter's fuel, 

 or a good part of it, during the summer, 

 will be able to secure as favorable prices 

 as in any recent year.
