parture for Panama. The design was 

 a magnificent horn of plenty containing 

 over 500 American Beauty roses, 1,000 

 violets and other flowers in proportion. 

 It was over six feet in height and gave 

 great satisfaction to the distinguished 

 recipients. Mr. Foley is on deck again, 

 quite recovered from his long illness, and 

 his hand has not lost its cunning. 



Henshaw Bros. ' new rose, cerise pink, 

 of fine stem, fragrance and body, should 

 be on exhibition at the rose show this 

 week in Washington. A. M. Henshaw 

 is receiving a limited quantity daily 

 asd all that arrive are engaged for the 

 season by one of the leading Broadway 

 retailers. 



F. D. Long, of Denver, proprietor of 

 the famous Elitch Gardens, is in the city 

 arranging for an additional 150,000 

 square feet of glass to his 50,000 already 

 devoted to commercial purposes. 



W. H. Donohoe had charge of the Ber- 

 thelet funeral laat week and many expen- 

 sive and original designs were sent, in- 

 cluding A cajsket cover of white roses and 

 violets, an empire wreath nine feet high, 

 a pillow with «. violet crow« in ceator 

 and a bow of Enchantress carnations, 



and a victor wreath of valley and orchids 

 with boAv of violets, the whole aggregat- 

 ing close to four figures. John Brown 

 has lately joined the force of Mr. Dono- 

 hoe. 



The sympathy of his many friends is 

 extended L. W. Wheeler, treasurer of the 

 New York Florists' Club, in the loss of 

 his mother. 



The Summit wagon express gave up 

 the fight because of Sunday's storm and 

 flowers from Jersey were late and had 

 to come in by express. There was a 

 large shipment of roses Monday and 

 prices fell with quite a thud. 



The retail windows are now things of 

 beauty. In fact, decoration of this kind 

 is now a necessity for any who would 

 do a first-class trade. 



J. Austin Shaw, 



Media, Pa. — Peter Vervaecker, a vio- 

 let grower near this place, was severely 

 injured March 2 by being thrown from . 

 the platform of a car of the Chester 

 Traction Co. bound for Media. The 

 shock resulted in a severe contusion, a 

 broken collarbone iind, it is feared, in- 

 ternal injuries. 



TROUBLE WITH FERNS. 



I am troubled with a small white bug 

 on my fern plants. It works on the 

 tips of young fronds and seems to kill 

 them, some fronds having as many as 

 ten bugs on them. I would like to know 

 what it is and how to get rid of it. 

 L. L. W. 



We do not know of any white bug 

 which affects ferns in the manner de- 

 scribed. The white fly, about which so 

 much has been written, is sometimes 

 very troublesome on nephrolepis and 

 other species. Fumigation with hydro- 

 cyanic acid gas has frequently been de- 

 scribed in the Review, and, if carefully 

 done, little injury need result. In sum- 

 mer when the temperature runs higher 

 there is greater danger. If the pest is 

 not the white fly we wouW like to have 

 a sample sent in an envelope for identi- 

 fication. C. W. 



Houghton, Mich. — A. E. Lutey, of 

 the Lutey Floral Co., spent the greater 

 part of last week in Chassell superintend- 

 i»g the repairing of the portion of ht» 

 plant recently destroyed by fire.
