Mention The Review when you write 



Robert Craig reports an unusually 

 heavy demand for Pandanus Veitchii in 

 sizes usable for vases and baskets. 



There are two seedsmen who will un- 

 doubtedly make their mark during the 

 next few years. Both are ambitious, 

 enterprising and persevering. Both re- 

 joice in the Christian name of Fred. 

 Guess whof 



N. Davis, of Jacksonville, Fla., was in 

 town recently, 



Stephen D. Green returned last week 

 after a trip through the west and south- 

 west, where he dealt largely in 

 "futures," as he naively expressed it. 

 When asked whether he felt southern 

 competition in these sections, Mr. Green 

 said another good thing: "We have 

 imitators, not competitors." 



Walter P, Stokes, writing to a friend 

 in this city, speaks in glowing terms of 

 the extent and system of the seed grow- 

 ing industry in England. "Eight hun- 

 dred tests of peas and others in propor- 

 tion" were seen through the pea and 

 radish growing districts in Essex. 



William Berger has placed an order 

 with D. P. Connor for two 100-foot Lord 

 & Burnham houses to be erected at the 

 rear of his new store, for which plans 

 have just been completed. Mr. Berger 

 has sold part of his ground on Pulaski 

 avenue and, it is understood, will re- 

 move the greenhouses thefeon to his 

 new properties. 



M. Bice and Mrs. Bice took a jaunt 

 to Coney Island. To please J. Austin 

 Shaw I should like to say how much Mi. 

 Rice admired this great New York shore 

 resort, but truth compels me to admit 

 that he prefers our own Willow Grove. 



William C. Harry, well and favorably 



known at the Sign of the Rose, is the 

 latest addition to the musical talent at 

 the Pavilion at Ocean City, where he 

 plays the trombone to the no small de- 

 light of his friends. Mr. Harry promises 

 that music will not tempt him from 

 flowers in the fall. 



William J. Baker is enjoying a short 



irgVERY now and then a wefl- 

 ILSI pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a 

 new advertiser to 



«V^ 



Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. "We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florist's use 

 not at present advertised.

John Crawford, of Berger Bros., has

TBACHELIUM CSSBXTLEJIM.. 



The tracheliums or throatworts are 

 a small genus of biennial or perennial 

 herbs, found in shady places in south- 

 ern Europe. The best variety is T. 

 cseruleum, quite popular as a border 

 plant in Great Britain, where it blooms 

 in August. In America this plant is 

 occasionally listed by seedsmen, but has 

 been much neglected. The best way to 

 treat it here is as a biennial, sowing 

 seed in early summer for blooming the 

 following year. Seed sown now will 

 produce strong flowering plants for 

 next June. The seed germinates read- 

 ily, and if first pricked off in flats and 

 later planted out in coldframes to be 

 wintered, like Canterbury bells or fox- 

 gloves, or potted on for flowering under 

 glass, strong plants can be had before 

 cold weather. 



Tne plant with me flowered in June 

 in a cool greenhouse. Even after some 

 pinching it grew four to Qve feet in 

 height. Cuttings, howcv^jr, 3:'e said to 

 Tiroduce dwarf er plants auc". can be in- 

 serted in late summer. The flowers are 

 produced in dense, corymbosely 

 branched panicles, not unlike gypso-
