celebrated. The parks are now in all 

 the glory of the early summer. Trees 

 and shrubs are in bloom. Especially in 

 Bronx park is one repaid by a visit to 

 its conservatories, its museum and its 

 natural groves and landscape improve- 

 ments. 



George Saltford is moving into 43 

 West Twenty-eighth street. 



Frank S. Hicks is already settled at 

 39 West Twenty-eighth street and has 

 one of the prettiest stores on the street. 

 He is back from a visit at Washington, 



Mr. Kussin says his partner, Hanfling, 

 will be away three months, visiting the 

 supply houses of France, Germany and 

 Austria. 



G. G. Malhani, of the American Ever- 

 green Co., has been seriously ill during 

 the last week, but is now recovering. 



F. Hartung, of Kearney, N. J., the 

 town where J. K. Allen is "It," has 

 opened a retail store there, with green- 

 bouses at Arlington, N. J. 



Bowling. 



A greater interest is developing in the 

 bowling contest, as the endurance test 

 for an average 155 record draws to a 

 close. Up to date Manda is the only 

 one in sight of Traendly's free trans- 

 portation. 



Several "experts" who insisted on a 

 change to better alleys have grown 

 weary and fallen by the way. The club 

 that represents New York at the con- 

 vention will be selected from those who 

 have been faithful, whether they average 

 155 or not. 



The following is last week 's score, the 

 first two gkmes counting in the record 

 for transportation:

NEPHROLEPIS VHITMANL 



The variety of this species — the so- 

 called ostrich feather fern of the Amer- 

 ican nurserymen — says the Horticultural 

 Trade Journal, has already become a 

 great favorite in England, France and 

 Germany, although at one time the de- 

 scription of it was thought to be only

We note yoar advertisement in a recent number of the REVIEW of the 

 second edition of Scott's Florists' Mannal, and request that you enter oar order 

 for a copy of this valuable book. The writer is thoroughly acquainted with 

 the first edition of this work, having often had occasion to use it for reference 

 while a student at the Michigan Agricultaral College. Please rash this order, 

 for we feel, with Mark Twtin, that we "would rather not use violence."

another instance of American Reclame, 

 but eighteen months' observation of the 

 fern has shown that the formation of 

 the fronds is regular and it is most en- 

 during. Every frond, big and little, has 

 the peculiar formation, the feathering 

 being not only remarked along the sides 

 of the fronds, but likewise at the top, 

 and so that it is not flattish in form, but 

 the whole body can only be described as 

 being similar to an ostrich feather. Its 

 gracefulness and enduring qualities 

 make it good material for the table and 

 decorative purposes and for bouquet 

 work.
