Chrysanthemum Madagascar. 



of all the white commercials; it is purity 

 itself, with a texture like paper, lasting 

 in perfect condition the longest of any 

 mum that we know; it is large and firm, 

 but not heavy, and all of the most per- 

 fect finish; stems long and stiff; can be 

 had from October 1 till late November.

NEW ORLEANS. 



At the last meeting of the committee 

 of arrangement for the flower show it was 

 announced that Washington Artillery hall 

 had been secured to hold the exhibii. 

 E. Baker will act as superintendent. The 

 judges will be John Eblen, A. E. Weller 

 and George Thomas. C. R. Panter, H. 

 Y. Shurman and C. W. Eichling will so- 

 licit prizes. 



The public in general and the florists 

 personally were invited to visit the Me- 



tairie Ridge Nursei^ Co. October 25. H. 

 Papworth had plenty to do receiving all 

 his guests and everybody admired his 

 stock, which is hard to duplicate. His 

 chrysanthemums are in a prime condition 



and his palms, just housed, are perfect. 

 A few acres of cosmos mingled with 

 ladies, helping themselves at pleasure 

 to bunches of flowers, was a sight to be 

 seen. A special car brought back the 

 majority of the florists. 



Every florist is busy giving the last 

 touch to his chrysanthemums. The mar- 

 ket is not going to be overloaded and we 

 can expect good prices. 



J. Shakai, one of the largest growers 

 of mums, has disposed of all his crop at 

 wholesale. 



B. M. Wichers had his stock of ferns 

 greatly damaged by the fumes from a 

 chemical manufactory, situated close to 

 hi^ place. 



C. W. Eichling has been quite busy 

 filling shipping orders for ferns and 

 other stock. 



M. Cook's Sons will soon have their 

 new greenhouse complete, ready to house 

 plants, chiefly palms. 



P. M. Koontz, of McGregor Bros. Co., 

 Springfield, O., was in town taking orders 

 for his firm. M. M. L. 



GIGANTEUM LILIES. 



Will you please give me some infor- 

 mation in regard to forcing giganteum 

 lilies? Does their treatment differ from 

 that of longiflorum? E. E. G. 



The treatment to be afforded Lilium 

 longiflorum giganteum does not differ 

 from that commonly given to the ordi- 

 nary type. '^ ultural notes on longi- 

 florums will hv found every few weeks 

 in the Seasonable Suggestions appearing 

 in the Review. 



Washington, Pa. — L. Swarthout has 

 opened his new flower store, at the corner 

 of Main and Beau streets. 



Chrysanthemum Fee Orientale.
