type are spiraea and Deutzia gracilis, the 

 latter done here as it is done nowhere 

 else. Some Narcissus Von Sion and a 

 few tulips completed the list, though I 

 think something was said about silver- 

 Jeaved maples. 



J. W. Colflesh. 



The ex-treasurer of the Philadelphia 

 Florists' Club was the first man seen on 



his place, his cheery greeting reminding 

 one of the unfailing good humor that 

 won him so many friends among his asso- 

 ciates in the P. F. C. Mr. Colflesh is a 

 pot-plant grower of ability. About half 

 his place is devoted to Easter stock. It 

 seemed to me that he specialized those 

 plants dearest to the hearts of the peo- 

 ple, growing them in quantity and grow- 

 ing them well. Lilies and azaleas were 



there in moderate quantity, spiraea in 

 larger, while largest of all were the dai- 

 sies, white and yellow, and the cinerarias 

 —cinerarias of brightest hue, with clean, 

 strong foliage that should prove most at- 

 tractive to those who like this plant when 

 it is well grown. There were, of course, 

 many other things, including roses in 

 pots, which will be an important feature 

 from Easter until after Memorial day; 

 two cold houses, formerly devoted to 

 Jacqs, are now being used mainly for 

 pot roses, and a few of the good old 

 Jacqs are grown in this way. 



The Overbrook Nttrseries. 



Edward A. Stroud was at Strafford, 

 planning, it was said, certain farming 

 operations that would work smoothly in 

 the wheel of progress with carnations. 

 J. "W. Prince was there to display a lot 

 of Easter stock, as nicely grown as one 

 could wish to see. One always looks to 

 Overbrook for novelties and, going the 

 week before Easter, disappointment is 

 rare. This year there were two, Mag- 

 nolia stellata, the name clearly describ- 

 ing the starry white magnolia flowers on 

 every shoot, a plant that appeals to the 

 buyer who wants something "fo^ 

 keeps," with its merit as an Easter 

 blooming plant to be determined; the 

 other novelty, for while it has been tried 

 before, it has not yet passed the novelty 

 stage, is Viburnum plicatum, or, in good, 

 plain English, the Japanese snowball, 

 flowered with a profuseness reminding 

 one of Thomas Hogg hydrangea. Mr. 

 Prince is enthusiastic about these snow- 

 balls; they are easily forced, requiring 

 only a little judgment, and most impor- 

 tant of all are pot-grown plants to' be-
