 mercial use. The color is a bright, pleasing pink, shading in the outer petals

 summer and is considerably more prolific than Bride or Bridesmaid. ^ ,jt jt

175 feet long, except the cutting house, 

 which is only seventy-five feet. Among 

 the 50,000 plants are Enchantress, 

 Lieut. Peary, Queen, Mrs. . Lawson, 

 White Lawson, Bobt. Craig, Kose-pink 

 Enchantress and Mme. Joost. The car- 

 nation houses are short-span, open be- 

 tween, are in excellent condition, and 

 will cut well later on. Brides and Maids, 

 mostly two-year-old grafted, are quite 

 fair; while the cut is not so heavy, pros- 

 pects are good for a heavy one later. 

 The boiler-shed and vault are combined, 

 making it very handy. This place covers 

 three acres of ground. The two places 

 are very close, only about eight minutes' 

 walk to the station. The popular Sam- 

 uel Lilly distributes this stock. 



Various Notes. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. report the ar- 

 rival of the steamers Menominee and 

 Andalusia with shipments of new shapes 



in fancy Easter baskets, and Japanese 

 air plants. 



J. L. Pennock, who has been confined 

 to his home for the last few days, is 

 said to have typhoid fever. 



The heavy wind of Saturday and Sun- 

 day did considerable damage to a great 

 many greenhouses in and near this city. 



Robt. Crawford says Joost carnation 

 is the most profitable to grow. 



The wholesale florists are well satis- 

 fied with their association, which is work- 

 ing well. 



R. A. Stewart says Killarney is fhe 

 best rose to sell and gives good satisfac- 

 tion. 



S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. is receiving 

 a fine lot of sweet peas and single daffo- 

 dils. ^ 



Alfred Burton, of Wyndmoor, is cut- 

 ting a fine lot of long Beauties. 



M. Rice & Co. are receiving Easter 



novelties on each incoming steamer. The 

 Barcelona, eight days overdue, brought a 

 large shipment. 



The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving daily 

 a choice lot of fancy carnations from H. 

 Weiss & Sons, of Hatboro. 



William Kleinheinz, of Lynwood Hall, 

 captured the Michell and Bisset prizes 

 at Washington last week, thus adding 

 further to his reputation as a carnation 

 grower. Joseph Heacock, of Wyncote, 

 was successful in securing recognition 

 for his new pink seedling carnation. No. 

 100, which is described as being a shade 

 of pink between Enchantress and Mrs. 

 Lawson. 



E. F. Lieken, of Lansdowne, was 

 among the Philadelphians who attended 

 the convention at Washington last week. 



William P. Craig is much pleased with 

 the interest taken by rose growers 

 throughout the country in the new rose, 

 Mrs. Jardine. Phil. 



THE DEATH ROLL. 



Wm. M. Robertson. 



William M. Robertson, one of the old- 

 time florists of Boston and a member 

 of the first board of directors of the 

 Park Street flower market in that city, 

 in 1892, died January 29, aged 65 years. 

 The deceased, who was a Scotchman, was 

 at one time associated with Mr. Horri- 

 gan, of Foxboro. He was proficient in 

 athletics in earlier years and had won 

 showy, valuable prizes at putting the 

 shot, being, in fact, champion for a long 

 time. He was of a genial disposition 

 and well liked by all who knew him. 

 Although not much seen round the mar- 

 kets of late years, his old-time asso- 

 ciates heard of his passing with much 

 regret. W. N. C. 



Charles Flunker. 



Charles Flunker, aged 73 years, one 

 of the old-time florists of St. Louis, 

 living at 3727 Tennessee avenue, died 

 last week after a long illness. Before 

 Mr. Flunker died he named his four 

 pallbearers. They were Emil Schray, 

 Conrad Bergsterman, Frank J. Fillmore 

 and John Walther. The funeral took 

 place Thursday afternoon, January 30,
