Samtman; whether it be a contract to 

 supply the Leo Niessen Co. with gilt- 

 edged Beauties or the payment of the 

 annual dues at the riorists' Club, it is 

 always Myers & Samtman. Of course 

 Phil wanted to see something fine, so he 

 repaired straightway to Wyndmoor, 

 where the coming debutante which bears 

 that name is flourishing under the eare 

 of Messrs. Myers & Samtman. Wynd- 

 moor has been described as "a cheerful 

 pink" rose, and is, as Review readers 

 know, planted in two houses, one a 

 propagating house, the other a broad, 

 even-span affair admitting more light 

 than the narrower house. In both cases 

 Wyndmoor is planted in benches, and 

 in both cases it is throwing up strong 

 canes from the base that promise to give 

 flowers that will attract attention at the 

 coming rose show at Chicago. It will 

 be remembered that while Wyndmoor is 

 practically in its first year in quantity, 

 Myers & Samtman were able to furnish 

 something over 1,000 blooms for a pri- 

 vate ball given on the day after Christ- 

 mas. The firm believes that they should 

 make what the Belgians describe as an 

 honest test and will therefore try Wynd- 

 moor for one more season, sending it out 

 in the spring of 1909, if, as now seems 

 assured, all goes well. To test the rose 

 under various conditions, a few plants 

 have already been sent to two growers 

 whose soil differs from that part of 

 Montgomery county. It is understood 

 that their report promises to be most 

 favorable, verifying the firm's claim that 

 Wyndmoor is a rose that will do well for 

 anybody anywhere. 



Various Notes. 



Edward J. Fancourt, secretary of the 

 S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., returned last 

 week from a successful business trip, Mr. 

 Fancourt spoke of the great improve- 

 ment shown in the cultivation of flowers 

 under glass in the south. At New Or- 

 leans, he found Beauties growing vigor- 

 ously, a thing that was believed impos- 

 sible some years ago. At another place 

 he commented on a fine bench of En- 

 chantress grown in a clay soil, another 

 surprise. Mr. Fancourt believes that the 

 production of this fine stock will stimu- 

 late the demand in the sections where it 

 is produced.

 great interest.

 abandoned. 



Martin Reukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer

 trip. 



The many business friends of D. T. 

 Conner must not think that because no 

 large contract is given out every time 

 they see him, he is not very busy 

 indeed. Mr. Conner has a way of put- 

 ting small private greenhouses here and 

 there in the suburbs, scattering little 

 conservatories throughout sections of 

 New Jersey, putting sun parlors on the 

 roofs of residences in this crowded city, 

 and otherwise increasing the activity of 

 the force at Irvington-on-the-Hudson.
