Various Notes. 



Phil was favored with a pictorial pos- 

 tal card from Godfrey Aschmann, re- 

 questing a visit to his greenhouses at 

 1012 Ontario street. To Ontario street 

 Phil repaired and found Godfrey Asch- 

 mann busy with orders. Mr. Aschmann 

 did not say that the orders came from 

 his Review card, but Phil did not need 

 to ask this question — he knew. As be- 

 fore stated, Godfrey Aschmann was 

 busy. John, Edward and Howard also 

 were busy, so Phil went through the 

 houses by himself and saw a great quan- 

 tity of Easter stock, enough to fully jus- 

 tify the assertion that all orders could 

 be filled. No one need lack lilies, aza- 

 leas, hydrangeas, spiraeas, cinerarias, 

 primroses, hyacinths, tulips, daffodils, 

 which were seen in numbers, with other 

 kinds in smaller quantities. Mr. Asch- 

 mann has learned what varieties and 

 flizes are most in demand and is fully 

 prepared to meet all requirements. 



C. Eisele purchased a lot 60x250 last 

 week, adjoining his present site at Elev- 

 ■enth and Westmoreland streets. Hitch- 

 ings & Co. will erect six houses 18x60 

 feet each, with a large show house in 

 front, for Christian Eisele at Eleventh 

 and "Westmoreland streets. The present 

 houses, built in 1885, will be torn down. 



Edward Dillwyn Darlington, manager 

 of the W. Atlee Burpee & Co.'s trial 

 farms at Fordhook, near Doylestown, 

 died March 26 of pneumonia, after a 

 brief illness. The funeral took place 

 March 30. Mr. Darlington, whose genial 

 disposition had won him many friends, 

 was in his fiftieth year. 



J. B. Swayne, of Kennett, Chester 

 county, Pa., will this spring erect four 

 liouses, ridge and furrow, 28x200 feet 

 each. The Lord & Burnham Co. will

 ships large quantities of choice bulbous 

 stock to this market.

ONERAEIAS. 



I have a number of large cinerarias 

 which seem to be bothered with red 

 spider. They weave their webs around 

 the clusters of buds until they enclose 

 the whole mass of buds. What would 

 you advise me to do with themf The 

 leaves also become scorched and gradu- 

 ally dry up. Is this due to fumigation f 

 I smoke once a week. W. B. 



I am afraid, from what you say, that 

 your cinerarias are in a rather hopeless 

 condition. As you do not say anything 

 about the culture you have given them, 

 it is difficult to see just what is the cause 

 of their present state. Fumigation will 

 not hurt the foliage on cinerarias unless 

 you use tobacco stems and allow these 

 to blaze. I doubt if at this late date 

 you can do much to improve your plants.
