Triana) and Cattleya Harrisoniana were 

 giving promise of bloom soon to come. 

 In fact, the latter had some flowers just 

 opening. Cattleya Schroederiana, Cattle- 

 ya Mossiffi, Dendrobium nobilis, Vanda 

 cserulea, Cypripedium insigne, and many 

 more were there in force, all in fine con- 

 dition. A few of the newly imported 

 plants were showing bud, but this lot 

 will nearly all be carried over for one 

 year before blooming. Carl Klemm, the 

 foreman in charge, has reason to be 

 proud of the excellent condition of the 

 stock. 



Variotis Notes. 



The business of S. J. Eeuter, Westerly, 

 E. I., was changed October 1 into a 

 corporation, under the name of S. J. Renter 

 & Son, Inc., with a capital stock of $150,- 

 000. The officers are: President, S. J. 

 Renter; vice-president and manager, L. 

 .T. Renter; secretary and treasurer, C. H. 

 Nichols. 



E. W. Gaehring has removed his store 

 from 2956 to 1805 Frankford avenue, 

 Philadelphia. 



Hugo Kind, of Hammonton, N. J., 

 is sending some long-stemmed cosmos to 



W. E. McKissick. This cosmos bears 

 about the same relation to the ordinary 

 stock that fancy Beauties bear to me- 

 diums. 



C. H. Weidenbacher proposes to erect 

 greenhouses for cut flowers at Haddon 

 Heights, N. J, 



The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving fine 

 Polly Rose and Glory of the Pacific 

 chrysanthemums. Beauties and wild smi- 

 lax are in demand with them. 



Sydney Bayersdorfer reports his firm's 

 business as fifty per cent larger last 

 month than in the corresponding month 

 of 1906. 



Edwin Lonsdale has been superintend- 

 ing the rebuilding of several of the 

 greenhouses at Girard College. 



Walter Savage, of Gwynedd, Pa., was 

 married recently. 



Berger Bros, are receiving some extra 

 choice flowers of Tint of Gold, October 

 Frost, and Monrovia chrysanthemums. 



James McClain has the sympathy of 

 his friends in the death of his wife, 

 which occurred last week. 



The Florex Gardens have erected a 

 new house, 32x130, for carnations at 

 North Wales. This house, which is now 



being glazed, is considered ideal. It 

 contains four benches and one bed, for 

 experiment, is of King Construction Co. 

 truss, with Moninger bars. Phil. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



Current G>niment. 



Trade is slow just now. The only 

 business being done is funeral work; this 

 uses up a great deal of short stock. 

 Carnations are quite plentiful, but the 

 stems are rather short as yet; 35 cents 

 per dozen, retail, is the price generally 

 asked. Roses are of good quality ; $1 

 and $1.50 per dozen, retail, have been the 

 prices the last week or so. A few early 

 violets are now coming in; 50 cents and 

 75 cents per hundred, retail, are the 

 prices realized. Sweet peas from out- 

 doors are about all over for this season. 

 We have had no frost as yet in this 

 section of the state, so everything is 

 still in full bloom outdoors. 



E. y. Peirce, on Cottage street, is busy 

 changing over his heating plant. He has 

 put all his boilers in one central boiler 

 pit. This will make it very convenient 

 for him. 



R. H. Woodhouse has a nice house of 

 nmms that would be hard to beat any- 

 where. His carnations are looking fine 

 and healthy. 



Fred C. Coull, for a good many years 

 with E. H. Chamberlain, has severed 

 his connection with that florist. At pres- 

 ent he is taking a rest. 



It is rumored that R. E. NofFtz, who 

 recently returned from Germany after 

 a good many weeks ' vacation, has brought 

 back a wife from the fatherland. 



The usual sale of bulbs is now on, 

 all the florists having them displayed 

 in their stores. 



Of white carnations grown in this sec- 

 tion, the Queen seems to be the favorite. 

 Fair Maid is the best in the light pink 

 shade, while Winsor, from all indica- 

 tions, will outclass Lawson. W. L. 



Am always more than pleased with the 

 Review. Would not be without it.— A. 

 Alost. 



Brainerd, Minn. — J. A. McLellan has 

 opened a flower store in the Pearce block, 

 on Laurel street.
