The business done is a large one, the 

 firm's reputation excellent, and Mr. 

 McKissick has the satisfaction of- 

 retiring with colors flying. 



Popular Plants. 



Sealed orders from over the sea sent 

 The Review correspondent to the north- 

 ern section of the city, where Godfrey 

 Aschmann's place is located. His son, 

 John Aschmann, is in charge, evidently 

 bent on having everything in the best 

 possible condition when his father 

 returns with his big boxes of azaleas 

 from Belgium. 



The place looked well, the stock in 

 excellent condition and growing nicely. 

 The fern class was represented by four 

 varieties of nephrolepis — the old Bos- 

 Ion, which J. A. believes will be scarce, 

 and so he is prepared to step into the 



breach with some good, large stock; 

 the dwarfer Scottii and two of the best 

 of the crested varieties, those from 

 Whitman and Scholzol. There are also 

 5,000 table ferns in eight of the best 

 varieties of pteris. Araucarias are in 

 fine shape; there is also a house of 

 kentias of good size. The balance of 

 the place is filled with the Christmas 

 stock of flowering plants, now rapidly 

 improving. Outside, in the frames, 

 are cyclamens, hydrangeas, solanums, 

 etc., with every inch of space utilized. 

 It seems a safe prophecy to say that 

 when Mr. Aschmann returns in a few 

 weeks, he will find his place in ex- 

 cellent condition. 



Various Notes.
