large and varied. There are large num- 

 bers of all the best sorts. Among them 

 the pteris family, of course, figures 

 prominently, in 2^/4 -inch pots, with some 

 of the more popular kinds in 3-inch and 

 even in 4-inch pots. Several varieties of 

 cyrtomiums are grown. The business of 

 selling these ferns in flats is increasing 

 rapidly. Commenting on it, Mr. Clark 

 thought it profitable and believed small 

 ferns at the low market prices were more 



profitable than Adiantum Farleyense in 

 6-inch pots at $1 each. This is signifi- 

 cant when the fine quality of the A. Far- 

 leyense grown here this season is con- 

 sidered. The aim in these small ferns 

 is to be able to fill an order for 100 

 varieties at any time. This can undoubt- 

 edly be done now, though were it not 

 for the labels it would take a pretty 

 bright man to pick and name them cor- 

 rectly. 



Cibotium Schiedei and Adiantum Fer- 

 leyense have yielded their choicest speci- 

 mens to the holiday buyers. There are 

 some plants of each rounding into form. 

 A nice batch of Nephrolepis Scottii in 

 6-inch pots suspended from the rafters 

 were ready to offer, while a block of 

 Whitmani in the same size on the 

 benches showed how this variety ought 

 to be grown. Better go and see them. 



Various Notes. 



W. E. McKissick, who is receiving a 

 nice lot of Asparagus plumosus and 

 Sprengeri from the south, says that he 

 finds tuat the southern grown sprays of 

 the last named variety will keep over 

 twice as long as the greenhouse-grown 

 stock. 



John C. Andre, of Doylestown, is add- 

 ing a new boiler and will make other ex- 

 tensive improvements to his plant. 



Myers & Samtman, of Wyndmoor, will 

 rearrange their place so that it will hold 

 30,000 American Beauty roses next sea- 

 son. This will be nearly 4,000 more than 

 at present. 



Victor Groshens, late of Logan, is for 

 the time being in charge of the green- 

 houses of the estate of Albert Wolte- 

 mate. 



S. S. Skidelsky has received many let- 

 ters of congratulation on his able paper 

 read before the Florists' Club New 

 Year's day. The interest in his subject 

 is general. 



F. & H. Mergenthaler have some car- 

 nations on their Washington Lane place 

 that reflect credit on the grower, Lock- 

 man. 



Eugene Bernheimer is rieceiving the 

 congratulations of his friends on the ar- 

 rival of a dear little stranger laddie. 



Alex B. Scott is recuperating at Sum- 

 merville, S. C. 



Edward Reid says that his judgment in 

 recommending the New York violet is 

 being fully justified. Mr. Reid reports 

 an increased demand for gardenias. No 

 wonder ! 



M. Rice & Co. report an unusually brisk 

 demand for Easter specialties. This has 

 started so early that there has been no 

 cessation since Christmas. 



Through an error, the number of 

 American Beauty rose plants to be 

 planted by the Florex Gardens in their
