The dinner given by the Washington 

 florists to the members of the Rose So- 

 ciety at the Arlington hotel on Thurs- 

 day evening was considered by those 

 fortunate enough to be present as the 

 handsomest aflfair of the kind ever held. 

 The room was elaborately decorated with 

 palms and flowers. Fully 150 guests sat 

 down to dinner, including a number of 

 ladies. There were many speeches and 

 Bongs, among the latter an original one 

 by Robert Kift, which was especially 

 happy. 



On Friday teams representing Wash- 

 ington, Baltimore and Philadelphia 

 rolled a series of three games for the 

 inter-city championship. Philadelphia 

 was represented by D. T. Connor, J. H. 

 Dodds, William Graham, Robert Kift 

 and Robert Schoch. I will allow the 

 Washington correspondent to give you 

 full details of this melancholy affair. 

 The second series will be rolled in Phila- 

 delphia Thursday, March 21. 



Various Notes. 



The new oflScers of the Conard & 

 Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., are: Presi- 

 dent, Robert Pyle; vice-president and 

 manager, Antoine Wintzer; secretary, 

 Roland C. Satterthwaite ; treasurer, S. 

 Morris Jones. 



The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving fine 

 Cattleya Schroederiana and Ccelogyne 

 cristata. Wild smilax is handled in 

 quantity. 



The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. will 

 have a fine lot of Brunners as an addi- 

 tion to the many choice flowers for 

 Easter. 



Edward Reid says that Robert Scott & 

 Son's lilies are extremely well finished; 

 with Ramblers they are king bee. 



Eugene Bernheimer is handling some 

 nice Harlowarden carnations. 



A. L. Campbell has received his first 

 shipment of Faust lilies. They are very 

 fine. 



John Mclntyre says that with good 

 weather there will be plenty of choice 

 single violets at Easter. 



Smith & Van Aart, of Indianapolis, 

 have purchased the greenhouses of Henry 

 Whalen, at Newtown, Pa. They will 

 change the place from a rose plant to 

 one devoted to greens, carnations and 

 bulbous stock. Both partners are hard 

 workers and should make a success of 

 their enterprise. 



M. Rice & Co. have received a new 

 shipment of lace bouquet holders. There 

 were not enough to fill all orders. 



Among the visitors in town recently 

 looking over the Easter stock in "the- 

 rising eastern market" were Henry 

 Pfister, Washington; Harry Shroyer, 

 Lancaster; Thomas Johnson, Providence; 

 . Smith & Fetters, Cleveland; Mayberry 

 & Hoover, Washington; M. Johnson and 

 Mrs. Johnson, Baltimore; Radcliff & 

 Tanner, Richmond, Va., and Barney 

 Myers, of Lancaster, N. Y. 



J. Stern & Co. are getting the last 

 shipment of Easter baskets and Easter 

 . novelties in by this week-'s steamers. 



Saturday saw the beginning of the 

 great spring rush in the seed stores. 

 Dreer's, Johnson's, Michell's and 

 Stokes' stores are working overtime to 

 keep up with orders. Phil. 



**TELEPHONE YOUR ORDER EARLY 

 AND AVOID TBE RUSH'' 



This is the substance of a notice that 

 a large New York florist is sending to all

 in his store and caters to telephone trade.

 now before the Easter rush begins.

COLD STORAGE LILIES. 



How shall we treat Lilium giganteum 

 taken from cold storage from now on to 

 get the best results? W. J. 



After potting they should be placed 

 on the floor in a frost-proof shed or 

 cellar, where temperature fluctuations 

 are less marked than in the greenhouses 

 at this season of the year. All lilies pre- 

 fer a comparatively cool location while 

 making their roots and during the early 

 stages of growth. As soon as the pots 

 are well filled with roots they can be 

 moved to a warm house. If placed 

 under a greenhouse bench at the present 

 time growths will appear above the pots 

 before many roots are made, which 

 means a failure so far as flowers are 

 concerned. 



Some successful growers have tiers of 

 shelves on which they stand the pots 

 around the sides of the^shed or cellars. 

 They can all be readily reached with the 

 hose when necessary. They are kept 

 rather dark, and this prevents the dry- 

 ing out of the soil. After being housed, 

 the benches in almost any of the houses 

 should do for them now that the sun 

 is at so much higher an angle. "We 

 consider one of the greatest secrets of 

 success in growing cold storage, or in- 

 deed any other bulbs, is to fill the pots 

 with roots in as cool and equable a 

 place as possible. C. W. 



Leominster, Mass. — Nellie G. Stone 

 has sold her homestead in Nelson street, 

 consisting of an apartment house, sta- 

 ble, two greenhouses each 200 feet long, 

 and eight acres of rich soil, to Joseph 

 Fuller, who takes possession April 1.
