Mfnttrn The Review when yon write. 



the landscape gardener who was in 

 charge from the Centennial until his 

 <leath a few years ago, is still grown, 

 partly as a token of respect, I fancy. 

 There were many other varieties too nu- 

 merous to mention, all well grown, the 

 flowers of good size and well colored. 



An enormous number of persons, esti- 

 mated at over 15,000, visited this show 

 on the opening day, Sunday. While the 

 attendance fell oflf on the following days, 

 good judges estimate that it will increase 

 ■each Sunday until the close, which will 

 probably be on or about December 1. 

 The value of the exhibition from an edu- 

 •cational standpoint cannot be overesti- 

 mated. 



Various Notes. 



The November meeting of the German- 

 town Horticultural Society was held No- 

 vember 11. Edwin Mathews spoke on 

 * ' Hardy Chrysanthemums. ' ' He was sup- 



ported by Ernest Hemming. The exhibi- 

 tion was fine. John H. Sibson, gardener 

 to Mrs. Thomas McKean, captured most 

 of the chrysanthemum prizes. Meehan & 

 Sons, Frank Gould, Peter McGowan, 

 Charles Thompson and others made good 

 showings. 



Benjamin Dorrance, of Dorranceton, 

 Pa., was in town recently. It is under- 

 stood that Mr. Dorrance came here to 

 call on Mrs. Jardine. 



P. J. Lynch, of West Grove, Pa., was 

 in the city November 9. Mr. Lynch vis- 

 ited some of the wholesale centers, but 

 stated that he was not here on business. 



Charles Thomas, formerly a florist do- 

 ing business in the old Baldwin place 

 on Chestnut street, is now a curbstone 

 merchant in cut flowers. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. received 200 

 oases of red immortelle wreaths by the 

 S. S. Macedonia. 



The Attalea Cohune oil palm, a native 



of Honduras, in Horticultural hall, Fair- 

 mount park, is one of the finest speci- 

 mens in the country. It came from the 

 Kingston Botanic Gardens^in 1876 in a 

 4-inch pot ana was planted out in its 

 present position in 1888. 



M. Rice & Co. have received one of 

 their largest importations of choice 

 Christmas immortelles. Their new Christ- 

 mas cowbell is a most promising novelty. 



A Philadelphia & Beading railway 

 train struck a wagon belonging to H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co. at Eleventh and Wil- 

 low streets one day last week. The 

 driver was injured and the wagon shat- 

 tered. The horses escaped. 



W. E. McEassick will remove from his 

 present location at 1221 Filbert street to 

 1619 and 1621 Banstead street next week. 



Miss P. A. Baker, of Media, Pa., is 

 cutting some choice Maj. Bonnaffon 

 chrysanthemums. They were seen at John 

 Mclntyre's. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has supplied 

 all the bulbs used in the local squares, 

 notably Independence, Logan and Ritten- 

 house, many of those in Fairmount park, 

 and in the parks and squares of Harris- 

 burg, Reading and Washington, D. C. In 

 addition to this all the bulbs forced in 

 the White Houss greenhouses have been 

 furnished by this enterprising house. 



In going over the convention notes I 

 find that no mention has-been made in 

 this column of the valuable souvenir, in 

 the shape of a good knife, which was pre- 

 sented by H. Bayersdorfer & Co. to each 

 of their guests when he registered. 



Another advance of 10 cents a ton 

 was made in the price of anthracite buck- 

 wheat coal by some of the collieries No- 

 vember 11. 



E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., has 

 reached this city with two of his new 

 roses, Rhea Reid and Princess. 



Phil. 



Lansing, Mich. — For the third time 

 in three years fire threatened the de- 

 struction of J. A. Bissinger's plant No- 

 vember 6, but the loss was confined to 

 the damage done the boiler-shed. 



East Liverpool, O. — At the green- 

 houses of the Lake Newell Floral Co., of 

 which Edwin Simpson is manager, a 

 beautiful exhibit of chrysanthemums was 

 opened to the public November 3.
