Mention The Review when you write. 



house, something like 30x250, formerly 

 filled with kentias, is now nearly half 

 filled with cattleyas, as pretty a lot of 

 plants as could be grown. The arrange- 

 ment for free admission of air is par- 

 ticularly good. Of the cattleyas, Schroe- 

 deriana and Mossise were in bloom, the 

 soft pink of the last named variety be- 

 ing in evidence. 



James W. Heacock called attention to 

 a particularly fine spike of Cattleya 

 Schrcederiana, one stem with five large, 

 perfect flowers, an unusual number. The 

 success of cattleyas at Wyncote leads to 

 the belief that further additions will be 

 made to the stock. 



Carnations. 



Hatboro boasts three members of the 

 profession, or more correctly speaking, 

 three firms: Thomas Beading, seedsman 

 and florist; H. M. Weiss & Son, carna- 

 tion specialists, and Eugene Weiss, 

 grower of roses, carnations and peas. 

 The places of the brothers, Henry M, 

 and Eugene Weiss, stand side by side a 

 little distance out of Hatboro; the latter 

 IS a landmark, floriculturally speaking, 

 the former a plant of recent construc- 



tion. Carnation growers are especially 

 interested in the work of Henry M. 

 Weiss & Son for two reasons; first, they 

 produce exceptionally fine stock in quan- 

 tity; second, their place is a marvel of 

 mechanical ingenuity. 



The varieties of carnations grown are ' 

 all the best; they are well propagated, 

 well housed, and well fed. There were 

 something like 60,000 young plants in 

 the frames and houses last week, the 

 frames containing pot grown stock of the 

 bang-up varieties seen in the Philadel- 

 phia market today. In the houses were 

 something over 5,000 plants of two of 

 the best novelties sent out this spring, 

 varieties worth planting out in the 

 benches to secure growth. The houses, 

 three in number, are now 25x300, if I 

 am not mistaken, an additional half 

 house having been added last fall. The 

 feeding is done by liquid manure through 

 the water pipes, in addition to more soUd 

 nourishment. 



The mechanical ingenuity of this 

 place must be seen to be appreciated. 

 Everything in that line is nicely done. 

 A recent addition is the Blake pump, in- 

 stalled for pumping liquid through the 



pipes; this pump, springless and valve- 

 less, cannot be put out of order by peb- 

 ble, straw or what-not, and promises to 

 be a source of comfort to its owner for 

 many a long day to come. 



Mr. Michell's Little Joke ? 



Fred J. Michell, Jr., met Phil at 

 "ten-eighteen" one afternoon this 

 week with a little joke. Assuming a 

 stern expression, rather a diflBcult mat- 

 ter for him, Mr. Michell said, "We got 

 an order from Oklahoma today through 

 another publication. Doesn't your 

 paper go out there?" Phil has a deep- 

 rooted conviction that the Eeview goes 

 everywhere reached by any minor paper 

 and a good many other places besides. 

 He was trying to put this in words when 

 Mr, Michell said, with a jolly laugh: 

 "Never mind; the order came through 

 the Eeview and you may repeat that 

 Japanese lily card for us."
