Contiuuing, Mr. Stokes said that the de- 

 mand for vegetable plants, such as to- 

 mato, egg plant, etc., had completely 

 cleared the benches of his Moorestown 

 houses. Valley has sold exceptionally 

 well during the last week. 



(jieorge W. Carr, of Kingston, Pa., 

 was in town a few days ago. 



A local daily is authority for the 

 statement that the bees arc killing the 

 drones and dragging them out of the 

 hives. This is said to be an indication 

 that the bees believe there will be no 

 summer, as the execution of the drones 

 usually takes place in the fall. 



^r. Rice is out of the city for a few 

 days, but the touch of the master hand 

 can be seen in every detail of his well 

 arranged warehouse. 



The Whilldin Pottery Co. reports an 

 excellent se.ison. The stock is lower 

 than usual at this time, and it will take 



every effort to replenish it before the 

 ileiuand sets in late in the summer. 



William P. Craig has handled his new 

 fern, Nephrolepis Amerpohlii, with great 

 skill. It is now in splendid condition. 

 The fronds have been us^d in some of 

 the choicest floral arrangements in New 

 York and other cities, as well as here. 

 . The .lulius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. 

 .T., exhibited a beautiful new rose, called 

 .Julius Roehrs, at the .Tune meeting of 

 the Florists ' Club. It is a pleasing pink 

 of the Wichuraiana type and attracted 

 much favorable comment. 



Edward Reid has been shipping some 

 very choice stock of "all seasonable cut 

 floAvers. ' ' 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have received 

 an inquiry for their catalogue from Cal- 

 cutta. Mr. Berkowitz pointed out some 

 tiny plants in stoneware tubs that were 

 full of vigor. The tubs were about an 



inch in diameter and the plants about 

 four inches high. 



H. Weiss & Son will devote their new 

 houses at Ilatboro entirely to carnations. 



W. J. Sherry, of the Johnson Seed 

 Co., reports an excellent demand lasting 

 late into the season. He says that lima 

 beans have required three and in some 

 i-ases four plantings, making this seed 

 extremely scarce. Field corn and musk- 

 melons have also suffered from the wet 

 .season. 



'I he rose show of the Germantown 

 Horticultural Society, held last Monday 

 evening, was destitute of outdoor roses. 

 There was a good display of hardy 

 perennials, shrubbery, indoor roses and 

 plants. (Jeorge Redels addressed the 

 meeting, which was well attended, de- 

 scribing the exhibits. 



(Godfrey Aschmann reports an excel- 

 lent spring business. The demand for 

 scarlet sage, Vernon begonias, coleus and 

 moonvines has been especially heavy. 



William C. Smith has emptied three 

 houses of Boston ferns since Easter. 



1). Fuerstenburg considers the prog- 

 ress made bv Florex Gardens, at North 

 Wales, retnarkabie when the sea.son is 

 considered. Sixty-five men are at work 

 there now. 



IT. H. Battles had some large orders 

 for the American Medical Society at 

 convention at Atlantic City last week. 



It is believed that the Pennsylvania 

 Horticultural Society's rose and peony 

 shows will be held in Horticultural hall 

 .Tune 18. Phil. 



NEODESHA, KAN. 



Condition of crops is poor in this lo- 

 cality, owing to the cold, backward 

 spring. The fruit will be an entire fail- 

 ure in southern Kansas. Vegetable gar- 

 dening is poor, as we had to replant so 

 many times, and the frost cut the crops 

 down through the month of May. 

 Without rain and the continuous cold 

 weather makes everything very back- 

 ward. The flower trade for Decoration 

 day ^as good; in fact, better than any 

 previous year. Owing to the backward 

 spring the outdoor flowers were all bitten 

 by frost. Cape jasmine flowers from 

 southern Texas, carnations, roses and 

 peonies were the main flowers for Dec-
