MentioD The Review when you write 



choice stock for shifting into larger 

 sizes. 



Now you can see at Riverton a range 

 of glass nearly filled with Cocos Weddel- 

 liana, the plants ranging from little seed- 

 lings to specimens in 7-inch pots. The 

 finish on the larger plants is wonderfully 

 fine. The cocos is now grown singly and 

 not made up with several plants in a pot, 

 a plan that was tried at one time to a 

 limited extent. The single plants display 

 a grace that it is impossible to obtain 

 in made-up plants. 



Various Notes. 



Antoine Wintzer, vice-president of the 

 Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., 

 spoke before the Florists' Club in Horti- 

 cultural hall. May 2, on "The Rose." 

 Mr. "Wintzer 's talk, so full of enthusiasm 

 and love for his work, was an inspiration 

 to his hearers not soon to be forgotten. 



Charles Pappas, who succeeded N. B. 

 Gachor at the Broad Street Station flower 

 stand over a month ago, has quite trans- 

 formed that well known spot into a floral 

 bower rather than a flower booth. 



Myers & Samtman, Wyndmoor, Pa., ex- 

 pect to plant 5,000 of their new sport 

 from My Maryland. The firm has been 

 complimented on the beauty of this sport, 

 which is of a deeper pink shade than the 

 parent rose, as seen with them. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. has 

 commenced closing at 6 p. m. 



W. Bainbridge is running the old Sav- 

 age place, at Mount Airy. 



M. Rice will sail for home May 22, on 

 the steamer President Grant. He writes 

 from BerUn enthusiastically about the 

 good things he has captured. 



The Leo Niessen Co. received the first 

 dagger ferns of the season from the south 

 May 2. 



Carl Jurgens, of Newport, R. I., has 

 commenced shipping his fine Beauties and 

 Kaiserins to W. E. McKissick & Bros. 

 The large flowers and clear color of this 

 stock are much admired. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. are working 

 their factory overtime getting out me- 

 tallic design orders for Memorial day. 



Stockton & Howe, Princeton, N. J., 

 send daily shipments of choice stock to 

 Berger Bros., that would be well worth 

 while for every grower to see. The cut- 

 ting, grading and packing are exception- 

 ally well done. Phil.

NEW YORK. 



The Market \ 



The vagaries of the New York climate 

 are "past finding out.J' On Saturday, 

 April 30, from a normal April tempera- 

 ture of 50 degrees, there was a rise in a 

 few hours of 30 degrees, and at 6 o 'clock 

 in the evening it was 80 degrees in the 

 shade. Sun?lay the reaction back to 50 

 degrees came and May opened, and con- 

 tinued on Monday, chilly enough for 

 March. But the low temperature is a 

 welcome development for the seedsmen 

 and the nurserymen, who are still work- 

 ing night and day to overtake their or- 

 ders, with forces of wor kers- double in 

 numbers. t 



In the cut flower mark*t there is a 

 summer steadiness in valuegi thart^while 

 not satisfactory to the whoftssQprs, will 



probably hold until Decoration day, and 

 the June weddings will lift the average 

 for a time. The quotations of last week 

 hold good, the only recession of impor- 

 tance being in orchids and gardenias, 

 the latter, from the southern shipments, 

 being used extensively by the street mer- 

 chants. The long-stemmed stock, how- 

 ever, brings good prices still; 50 cents, 

 would purchase the best orchids Satur- 

 day. 



Few roses sold above 6 cents, and 25. 

 cents bought the best Beauties. There 

 was a good clean-up of everything as 

 the week closed, and a fairly good Sat- 

 urday was the general verdict. The price 

 of 2 cents was about top for carnations, 

 in quantity. The stock is all excellent. 

 Ordinary grades of carnations are becom- 

 ing scarcer every season. Soon our grow- 

 ers will have only the best or none to- 

 offer. It is just as easy to grow good.
