crops. They are now coming into full 

 bloom, the shipments last week running 

 up to 16,000 blooms a day, while this 

 week on clear days they are touching 20,- 

 000 blooms daily. Ittiere are 136 new 

 varieties of various types on trial. Of 

 the older varieties, it is especially note- 

 worthy that the popular sorts, such as 

 Kriemhilde, pink and white; Lyndhurst, 

 scarlet ; Mrs. Clifford W. Bruton, yellow ; 

 Catherine Duer, scarlet; Nymphaea and 

 Sylvia, like sisters, pink and white, and 

 Winsome, white, are grown in quantity 

 to meet increasing demands. The Cen- 

 tury type, the large singles, are here in 

 force, presenting a striking picture wav- 

 ing in the fields. The pompons, cactus, 

 decorative, show, all the leading types, 

 have hosts of followers too numerous to 

 mention. A large soft pink, named John 

 Thorpe, was especially pleasing. 



The impression created by the place 

 was of a business enterprise thoroughly 

 and systematically run in every detail. 

 A word of praise should be given to the 

 cleanliness everywhere evidenced, in 

 field, in packing-shed, in greenhouses. 



The varieties appeared absolutely true to 

 name, a vacancy here and there telling 

 the fate of a rogue who had trespassed. 

 The Messrs. Herbert are making a spe- 

 cialty of roots, believing them preferable 

 to extensive propagation from cuttings. 



Various Notes. 



William P. Craig says the sales of 

 Nephrolepis Amerpohlii have exceeded his 

 most sanguine expectations. 



John Mclntyre, who had the credit of 

 being first in the market with mums, as 

 stated in the Review last week, says that 

 his variety was Monrovia, a good yellow. 

 They were sold September 20. 



C. H. Grigg, formerly of Graham & 

 Grigg, the Century Flower Shop, and 

 the Colonial Flower Shop, died Septem- 

 ber 22 at the Presbyterian hospital, aged 

 70 years. The funeral services were 

 held at his home in West Philadelphia. 



W. E. McKissick will speak before the 

 Florists' Club next Tuesday evening. 



M. Rice & Co. are meeting with great 

 success with their new water-proof maline 

 netting. It is especially valuable where 



designs have to be shipped and sprinkled 

 before packing up. 



John Savage is sending fine bouvardia 

 to the Pennock-Meehan Co. 



William Munro, of Garrettford, is 

 sending fine Beauties to W. E. McKis- 

 sick. 



William Bassett and Wood & Healy, 

 of Hammonton, N, J., are shipping some 

 splendid dahlias to the S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co. 



The William Graham Co. had two large 

 decorations this week for department 

 stores. 



Edward Reid has been making im- 

 provements in hi^ up-to-date commission 

 house. The ice-box on the first floor has 

 been thoroughly overhauled and placed 

 in condition for the stock used in the 

 local trade. Supplies of manila, brown 

 tissue and wax paper have been added 

 for the convenience of customers. In the 

 basement, where the important shipping 

 department is located, is a splendid cool- 

 ing room, the dome of which appears 

 through the first floor. Mr. Reid is for- 

 tunate in having gathered together a
