day. Progress is reported. The com- 

 mittee is now hard at work making 

 the necessary arrangements. 



Edward Neiman, for many years with 

 Bobert Crawford, Jr., has been obliged 

 to give up his position and go to Mex- 

 ico to recover his health. Mr. Neiman, 

 who is very popular, will be much 

 missed. 



Edward Eeid has secured the confi- 

 dence of a large circle of customers. He 

 looks after their interests faithfully, 

 giving them the benefit of a decline in 



the market with the same promptness 

 that he gives his growers the benefit of 

 an advance. 



W. Atlee Burpee & Co. have offered' 

 a handsome prize for fifty Golden Gate 

 at the American Kose Society's meeting 

 in Washington March 13. 



Harry Weiss, who has since his return 

 from the west been with his brother, 

 Eugene Weiss, at Hatboro, will again 

 go into business on his own account and 

 is building two large houses on property 

 next to his brother's. 



Answers to Correspondents. 



Review readers are invited to send any ques- 

 tions relating to culture or marketing of plants 

 and flowers In Philadelphia, to Phil, in care of 

 any of the leading seed or commission houses. 

 Each question will be sut)mitted to a competent 

 person and answered under number. Correct 

 name and address must always accompany in- 

 quiry, but will not be published. 



70. — Is Philadelphia a good market 

 for field-grown asters which would be 

 three weeks earlier than those grown 

 near Philadelphia? 



Ans. — Yes. 



71. — What varieties are most profita- 

 ble? 



Ans. — I would suggest Queen of the 

 Market for early, and Semple's for late. 



72. — What color would bring most 

 money? 



Ans. — White. 



73. — If variety of color, what propor- 

 tion of each color should be used? 



Ans. — Try one-third white, and one- 

 sixth each of lavender, purple, pink and 

 red. 



74. — What prices usually rule, and 

 what length stems? 



Ans. — From 50 cents to $1.50 a hun- 

 dred; occasionally $2 for fancy stock, 

 when in demand. The length of stem 

 is usually from twelve to eighteen inches. 



75. — Would fieM-grown longiflorum or 

 Harrisii lilies find ready sale, and at 

 what price per flower or stalk? 



Ans. — I would not consider these as 

 particularly good risks, owing to their 

 being easily bruised. The price per 

 flower, when sold, would probably ne 

 from $3 to $5 per hundred. Phil.

The Market 



Fine bright weather is working won- 

 ders in the way of bringing out the 

 quality and quantity of flowers. There 

 has been a marked improvement during 

 the last week. Eoses are showing up 

 the best, with carnations a close sec- 

 ond. While the supply has not increased 

 greatly still it is possible to take good 

 care of all orders without much trouble. 

 Bulbous stock is still doing first-rate. 

 Other varieties of flowers are in good 

 supply and going nicely. Violets are 

 none too plentiful. 



Lent has made itself felt, as it alwayi
