Mention The Review when you write. 



last season and this, but despite this fact, 

 accentuated by the numerous private gar- 

 deners out of employment, the plant 

 mailing business has increased to a grati- 

 fying extent these two seasons. "The 

 masses are using good roses on their 

 own roots." Eealizing that other lines 

 of business are not particularly active, 

 Mr. Lynch has endeavored to ascertain 

 the cause for this increase from those 

 well informed, but without success, the 

 general verdict being that plants, being 

 a luxury, would be apt to suffer at this 

 time; that this is not the case is gratify- 

 ing, showing conclusively the firm hold 

 taken by the rose on the hearts of the 

 American people. 



The Plans at North Vales. 



It has been rumored on the street for 

 many moons that the Florex Gardens 

 would add another big house by and by. 

 The sharp decline in the glass market, 

 and the low level reached in pipe has evi- 

 dently appealed to the clear business 

 naind of David Fuerstenberg, for it is 

 l^ven out this week that a new house, 



about 150x800 feet, will be erected dur- 

 ing the present season, and completed in 

 the spring of 1910. This house, it is un- 

 derstood, will be planted with American 

 Beauty roses. The present mammoth 

 house now in Beauties will then be 

 planted with carnations, housing, it is 

 estimated, somewhere in the neighbor- 

 hood of 100,000 plants. Surveyors have 

 been at work, and all the preliminary 

 plans are made. The material for cover- 

 ing this additional ground will be fur- 

 nished by the King Construction Co. 



The Situation in CoaX, 



A representative of the most progres- 

 sive florists' paper called on Smith, 

 Lineaweaver & Co. to ask their opinion 

 on the coal situation. Mr. Lineaweaver 

 said that the firm knew no more than 

 the general public, that he believed a 

 strike would take place April 1, as 

 planned, and hoped that it would be of 

 short duration. There is no change in 

 the quiet conditions in the bituminous 

 region. 



Various Notes. 



The Eobert Craig Co. is already book- 

 ing orders for Easter plants. The stock 

 this season is in exceptiondlly fine con-
