or two. Mr. Strohlein saw Azalea Prin- 

 cess Elizabeth, better known as Vervee- 

 neana alba, in full bloom. He considers 

 this variety superior to any white azalea 

 on the market today, this opinion being 

 based on information given by the grow- 

 ers and on personal observation, the va- 

 riety being in every way a true Verva;- 

 neana excepting in color, which is a pure 

 white. Mr. Strohlein was much inter- 

 ested in the preparations going on, both 

 in Belgium and in England, for the com- 

 ing quintennial exhibition to be held next 

 month. He saw crotons of enormous size, 

 beautifully grown and highly colored, 

 specimens such as have never been seen 

 on this side of the water; also magnifi- 

 cent specimen azaleas and other plants 

 that have been grown especially for this 

 exhibition. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel S. Pennock notes an excellent 

 demand for fancy American Beauty 

 roses. 



J. J. Karins, of Henry A. Dreer, has 

 just returned from a most successful 

 business trip. Mr. Karins is deservedly 

 l)opular among his many friends. 



Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., says that the florists' supply busi- 

 ness is certainly one of extreme activity. 

 There is no cause whatever to complain 

 of not having enough to do. 



R. G. Palmer, who has many friends 

 among the growers and commission 

 houses of this city, is, I regret to say, 

 confined to his home by serious illness. 



The senior member of the firm of 

 Smith & Fetters, Cleveland, O., was in 

 town a few days ago. 



Shipping business has been better dur- 

 ing the last week than has the local de- 

 mand. 



John Mclntyre, who is in a position to 

 judge, predicts that the southern daffo- 

 dils will be here about March 20. 



The many friends of J. Liddon Pen- 

 nock will be glad to know that he is re- 

 cuperating rapidly at Atlantic City. 



A grower who has sold all the plants 

 of a particular kind which he had been 

 advertising in the Review, allowed his 

 card to run for one week with simply his 

 name and address, the words ' ' Wholesale 

 Florist" also inadvertently appearing. 

 He was much surprised on receiving a

PHILA. GUN CLUB TO MOVE. 



The Florists' Gun Club, which has 

 been shooting on the Wissinoming 

 grounds for several years, will vacate the 

 old shooting field next month and take 

 up headquarters at Holmesburg Junction, 

 adjoining the Keystone Shooting League 

 park. The advance of building enter- 

 prises compelled the florists to vacate. 



The florists promise to build one of 

 the greatest target shooting grounds in 

 the country at Holmesburg Junction. The 

 houses which are now on the Wissinom- 

 ing property will be moved to Holmes- 

 burg Junction, as will the four sets of 

 traps. • 



When the new grounds are ready, 

 which will be early in April, the club in- 

 tends to hold a big merchandise shoot 

 as an opening day event. The regular 

 shooting days will also be changed. The 

 first Saturday in each month and the
