lora and October Frost, both earlies. 

 "No, if they wefre late varieties, Bon- 

 naffon, for instance, I would as soon 

 let the bench stand empty," continued 

 Mr. French, "but with these two sorts 

 this ripened up young stock is excel- 

 lent, the best on the place and not 

 for sale." 



An advocate of early planting for 

 roses, Adolph Poehlmann thinks this 

 season's results prove that in late 

 planted houses it is good business to 

 set two plants together — in some of 

 his benches of Bulgaria he has last sea- 

 son 's plants set three together, as it 

 does not make much of a bush. All 

 his benches of Eichmond have two 

 plants set together in the second row 

 from the north edge. 



"Alderman" Dick Salm is known aa 

 the Beauty grower who does not heed 

 black spot. In the eight years he has 

 been in charge of the Beauties he has 

 had, all told, less black spot than any 

 other man had every year, and at the 

 same time he appears to disregard all 

 rules against late syringing, etc., the 

 observance of which is supposed to be 

 necessary to avoid the dreaded dis- 

 ease. 



The plant department is anxiously 

 waiting for a carload of big kentias 

 to complete their voyage. G. C. An- 

 derson says the call for decorative 

 sizes, especially for use in hotels, etc., 

 has increased greatly in the last few 

 years. 



Various Notes. 



The trade has followed with keen 

 enjoyment the efforts to compel Peter 

 Eeinberg and a majority of the school 

 board to recognize four members 

 ousted by tbe mayor. May 4 the presi- 

 dent and his supporters were sentenced 

 to thirty days in jail for contempt of 

 court. Mr. Eeinberg 's chief concern 

 on being incarcerated, in the judge's 

 chambers, is said to have been "Who's 

 got a cigar t" It was agreed that 

 Mr. Eeinberg should recognize the foujr 

 men at a meeting May 13, and the 

 fight was over. 



Many old friends of George M. Gar- 

 land will learn with sincere regret that 

 the tubercular trouble with which he 

 haB suffered for some years has devel- 

 oped to the point where he is confined

Hadley is being planted at the Rog- 

 ers Park establishment of Wietor Bros, 

 this week, the plants having arrived 

 May 4. Most of the rose plants are 

 on the benches and 75,000 carnation 

 plants had gone into the field May 4. 



That this market never saw so large 

 an accumulation of stock cleaned up 

 in so short a time as was the case May 

 1 and 2 is the belief of Charles Erne, 

 who adds that May 2 was the first 

 time since Easter that Erne & Klingel 

 had their icebox empty at closing time. 



Rose planting has been completed at 

 the New Castle establishment of F. J. 

 Benthey, according to the report of 

 F. F. Benthey.
