Sixty-first street, and on the small inter- 

 secting street. 



W. & Harry F. Evans, Eowlandville, 

 Pa., are sending choice Acacia pubescens 

 to the Leo Niessen Co. These delicate 

 sprays are cut from a tree that, as Re- 

 view readers will recall, was favored with 

 an enlarged greenhouse two years ago to 

 cover its increasing stature. 



Edward Reid is receiving choice Cattleya 

 Trianae and Dendrobium formosum, the 

 latter a rarity in this market today. Mr. 

 Reid is enthusiastic over the support 



given the Marie Louise violets, believing 

 that they deserve every good word that 

 can be said of them. 



The window of Pennock Bros, this 

 week is devoted to St. Valentine's day 

 gifts. A specimen azalea. Prof. Wolters, 

 trained into a heart shape, a soft blue 

 ribbon gracefully twined in and out just 

 below the rosy pink flowers, makes a 

 charming centerpiece. 



John W. Mclntyre, Jr., son of the well- 

 known wholesaler, has accepted a position 

 with W. E. McKissick & Bros., commenc- 



ing work February 6. Curiously enough, 

 his father considers this day as the busi- 

 est in his career as a wholesaler. 



Dr. Herman Burgen addressed the Ger- 

 raantown Horticultural Society February 

 8; subject, "Wild Flowers and Their 

 Haunts. ' ' 



Sydney Bayersdorf er says that his firm 

 has experienced an unusual demand for 

 heart-shaped boxes and tiny French han- 

 dle baskets to be used for Valentine gifts. 

 "By the way," he added, "Mr. Bayers 

 dorfer has an Easter surprise up his 

 sleeve. ' ' 



A New Jersey grower, who has been 

 consigning to Lilley & Upton, contem- 

 plates building this spring. A good card 

 for the new firm, is it not! 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has oflferetl 

 a silver tray, handsomely engraved with 

 roses, for the best fifty pink Killamey 

 blooms exhibited at the American Rose 

 Society 's exhibition at Buffalo, March 17. 



William Kleinheinz', of Lynwood Hall, 

 will speak on gardenias before the Flo- 

 rists' Club, at its March meeting. 



A new decorator has come to town. The 

 council of the Pennsylvania Horticultural 

 Society gave a dinner last week in honor 

 of the society's new president, Clement 

 B. Newbold. The secretary, David Rust, 

 was instructed to look after the decorat- 

 ing. He did this in person, using Amer- 

 ican Beauty and Mrs. Jardine roses, lilies 

 of the valley, daisies, etc. 



The yellow variety of Cineraria stel- 

 lata, described last week at the Florists' 

 Club meeting, should have been credited 

 to Samuel Batchelor, who has grown it 

 for two years, and the stock, Beaute of 

 Nice, to William Kleinheinz. 



Robert A. Craig went to Milford, Del., 

 Februaiy 8, to attend the funeral of his 

 brother-in-law. 



An out-of-town buyer selected nearly a 

 carload of large decorative plants at Riv- 

 rists' supplies.
