vantage for the garden. They also pre- 

 sented a richness and variety of coloring 

 that rendered them much more showy 

 than thQ. iober-hued pompons. Mr- Eisele 

 pointed to the various varieties of these 

 early flowering chrysanthemums, some 

 twenty in number, remarking that he be- 

 liered they would till a long- felt want in 

 the list of garden flowers.

A Word of Ezplaoatioo. 



Un^er the head of West Grove, which 

 appeared in this column two weeks ago, 

 was a brief description of the Conard & 

 •Jones Co. place. The introductory sen- 

 tence said that West Grove boasted two 

 live concerns and one that was not so 

 live. 



This was intended for a mild joke, the 

 live concerns being the Dingee & Conard 

 Co. and the Conard & Jones Co., both i 

 growers of roses and other plants. The 

 third concern makes caskets. It seems, 

 however, that some of the Eevievvt read- 

 ers, not being aware of this fact and pos- 

 sibly not having read the article headed 

 " D. & C. Expansion ' ' which appeared 

 in this column in the previous issue, came 

 to the conclusion that the one that was 

 not so live must be the Dingee & Conard 

 Co. To correct this error these lines are 

 written, Avith respectful admiration for 

 the energy and ability that made it pos- 

 sible for the D. & C. Co. to absorb Heller 

 Bros., as personified in P. Joseph Lynch. 



Virion* Notct. 



The Joseph Heacock Co. exhibited two 

 fine vases of Carnation Dorothy Gordon 

 at the Florists ' Club 's meeting, and Mr. 

 Heacock read an account of the carna- 

 tion. William Kleinheinz sent a few 

 words of hearty endorsement of this 

 splendid variety. Pennock-Meehan Co. 

 staged two handsome vases of White 

 Killarney grown by A. N. Pierson, Crom- 

 well, Conn. Charles Henry Fox will speak 

 at the December meeting. 



Charles M. Weaver and Mrs, Weaver, 

 Ronks Station, Lancaster county, visitetl 

 this city on their bridal trip. 



The Bobert Craig Co. has contracted 



with D. T. Conner, representing Lord & 

 Burnham Co., for one propagating house 

 21x300, to be erected immediately at the 

 new plant at Norwood. 



Samuel McClements, of Randolph & 

 McClements, Pittsburg, and W. J. 

 Palmer, Buffalo, were alnong aur recent 

 visitors. 



Charles W. Cox, in charge of the Penn- 

 sylvania hospital, will succeed Edwin 

 Lonsdale as superintendent of the horti- 

 cultural department of Girard College. 



J. Bancroft Swayne, Kennett Square, 

 and Miss Helen Bernard were married 

 recently and left for a trip in the south. 



Henry M. Weiss & Sons, Hatboro, Pa., 

 have ordered material for one propagat- 

 ing house 150 feet long from Lord & 

 Burnham Co., D. T. (.'onner representa-- 

 tive. 



Eugene Bernheimer reports that the 

 Florex Gardens, North Wales, Pa., have 

 completed their corridor house connect- 

 ing their mammoth greenhouses with the 

 office and cooling room. It is 40x35. 



The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. has 

 issued duplicate postals to its customers 

 and friends asking whether they prefer 

 having a price list mailed direct or pub- 

 lished each week in the Review. Phil 

 hopes that anyone who has enjoyed this 

 column and believes it is of value will 

 vote in favor of the Review. 



A hardy chrysanthemum show is being 

 held by the Henry F. Michell Co. from

 magnificent houses of begonias, Lorraine,

 the v^ay, was privileged to deliver the
