HENRY F. MICHELL CO. 



1018 Market Street, 



PHILADELPHIA. PA.

his fellow florists than has Eobert 

 Craig. Florists all over the country will 

 endorse this statement. Little florists 

 and big florists, old and young, rich and 

 poor, have sought inspiration from him 

 during twenty-five years and more. 

 Rarely have they gone away without see- 

 ing or hearing something that inspires 

 them with fresh courage to renew the 

 good fight. I well remember the time 

 when I needed that courage often, and, 

 while increase of responsibility begets 

 greater self-reliance, the pleasure is even 

 keener on the rare occasions when time 



and tide favor a call at Forty-ninth and 

 Market streets. 



It was on one of these visits that I 

 got a few ideas from Mr. Craig that may 

 interest Review readers. One, the prop- 

 agation of Adiantum hybridum, has al- 

 ready appeared in this column. 



Mr. Craig is devoting especial atten- 

 tion this season to roses for Easter and 

 spring sales. His collection includes 

 novelties and standard varieties of the 

 highest merit. Of the former, Annie 

 Muller, a dwarf cluster rose, is consid- 

 ered very promising. While it is risky 



to talk about a plant one has never seen 

 in bloom, it appears to be in pink about 

 what Baby Rambler is in red. Wie- 

 gand 's Rambler is another novelty highly 

 esteemed by the London growers, who 

 consider it very suj)orior. Tausendshon 

 (Thousand Beauties) is a cluster rose 

 with much larger flowers than Crimson 

 Rambler, which, nevertheless, is here in 

 quantity and will make a hard fight for 

 supremacy at Easter. Lady Gay and 

 Dorothy Perkins, two fine pink cluster 

 forcers, are also here in numbers. The 

 former is believed to be the better sort. 



All the other Easter plants are being 

 grown in quantity. Mr. Craig believes 

 the early Easter will interfere but little 

 with the production of choice stock in 

 ample time, barring possibly one or two 

 of the less responsive varieties to be flow- 

 ered. 



In decorative plants Ficus pandurata 

 has made itself a place in Mr, Craig's 

 heart and in his houses. It looks well, 

 and will look better as the young stock 

 comes along. Draca?na Pere Charon — 

 the ancients say he will see us safely 

 across the deep, swift river, you know — 

 is beautiful, resembling a highly col- 

 ored Dracffina terminalis ^vith broader 

 foliage. There were many other inter- 

 esting things and much interesting talk, 

 including Mr. Craig's opinion in Nephro- 

 lepis Amerpohlii. "I think," he said, 

 "Will was fortunate to get it." The 

 Will referred to is Mr. Craig's son, 

 William P. Craig, who owns half the 

 stock of this promising fern. 



Qub Meeting. 



The carnation meeting of the Flor- 

 ists' Club of Philadelphia, held Febru- 

 ary 5, was well attended. Among the 

 speakers were J. E. Haines, Bethlehem, 

 Pa.; E. A. Stroud, Overbrook, Pa.; W. 

 A. Manda, South Orange, N. .T.; .1. A. 

 Valentine, Denver; A. M. Herr, Lancas- 

 ter, Pa. ; Wm. Swayne, Kennett Square, 

 each of whom added much to the pleas- 

 ure of those present. 



John E. Haines, Bethlehem, brought 

 fine Imperial, Pink Imperial and Haines. 

 H. Weber & Sons Co., Oakland, sent Ma- 

 belle, a promising commercial pink. 

 Charles Leisy, of Wenonah, made a fine 

 exhibit of Enchantress and a number of 

 choice seedlings. H. P. Potter, of Wil- 

 mington, sent a striped seedling. W. A.
