76 — Please repeat method you de- 

 scribed for propagating Adiantum hy- 

 bridum. 



Ans. — I have been able to get some 

 seedlings by allowing the spores to fall 

 on the soil around the plants, although 

 it is said to be a mule. A few Adian- 

 tum hybridum can be obtained from 

 spores. They can be readily produced in 

 quantity by removing the lower third 

 from pot-bound plants and placing this 

 mass of roots in sphagnum moss in a 

 case with a gentle bottom heat. Treat 

 them as you would seedlings. They 

 should start quickly and grow rapidly.

Rose Night at Philadelphia. 



At .the last meeting of the Florists' 

 Club of Philadelphia it was unanimously 

 decided to in\'ite P. J. Lynch, secretary 

 and treasurer of the Dingee & Conard 

 Co., West Grove, Pa., to prepare a paper 

 on ' * Rose Plants by Mail, " to be de- 

 livered at the regular monthly meeting 

 on the evening of Tuesday, March 5, and 



in this connection novelties among roses 

 are invited to be exhibited on the same 

 evening. All who have novelties will 

 kindly ship same in care of David Rust, 

 Horticultural hall. Broad street above 

 Spruce, Philadelphia, Pa., early enough 

 so that they will be sure to reach the 

 place of meeting on time.

BALTIMORE. 



The Market. 



The thermometer hit the minimum 

 temperature for the winter again last 

 Saturday morning, dropping to 9 degrees 

 at 7 o'clock. The keen wind which 

 sprang up developed into icy blasts that 

 almost penetrated into the warmest 

 houses and at present writing a heavy 

 snow storm is on hand. Great diflBculty 

 was experienced in making deliveries of 

 cut flowers. 



Society has been in full blast, many 

 banquets were held and Washington's 

 birthday was observed in a patriotic way 

 that called for several decorations, so 

 that business may be said to be as good 



as coul^ be expected. Lent being on, 

 when a little decrease generally takes 

 place. Funeral work has shown some 

 falling off. However, all stock is dis- 

 posed of. Roses and carnations have 

 been a little more abundant. Sweet peas 

 are short in supply. Oallas are steadier. 

 Bulbous stock can be had in any quan- 

 tity. Harrisii come in steadily. Violets 

 are equal to the demand and sell nicely. 



Various Notes. 



Last Saturday Mr. Eberhardt was in 

 the market with a full stall of hyacinths, 

 four in a pan, offering them at 20 cents 

 a pan, and uisposed of a large number. 



M. J. Hannigan is cutting some extra 

 fine American Beauty roses. He is also 

 picking extra fine single violets. 



P. B. Welsh, Glyndon, Md., has picked 

 and disposed of nearly 200,000 seeds of 

 Asparagus plumosus. He is well known 

 as one of the best bulb growers in Mary- 

 land and one of the most enterprising 

 men in the business. 



W. O. Strand reports that he can pick 

 at one time 10,000 Christmas Pink sweet 

 peas. Many old growers said that in all 

 their experience they have never seen
