agreement made with Mrs. Wilson had

Qufo Meeting. 



Israel Eosnosky presided over a well 

 attended meeting of the Florists' Club 

 April 6, President Hahman being de- 

 tained by the press of Easter business. 

 John Westcott gave a glowing descrip- 

 tion of his visit to Cuba and the Isle of 

 I'ines. William P. Craig also gave his 

 impressions of this favored clime. He 

 "as followed by Messrs. Greub and Cole- 

 "lan, who accompanied him on his flying 

 ^isit to his father's new plantation. 



Christian Eisele's New Place. 

 The five new greenhouses built by 

 Hitchings & Co. for Christian Eisele last 

 ^t'aaon are as full as can be with flower- 

 ing and spring flowers. Mr. Eisele spoke 

 ^vith great pride of his new houses; they 

 'vere rather expensive, he said, but a row 



of heating pipe maintained 10 degrees 

 higher temperature with far greater ease. 

 You can always find varieties of plants 

 there that you can find nowhere else. 

 On this particular occasion Phil fell in 

 love with the variegated f unkia ; its beau- 

 tiful green and white foliage was scarcely 

 enhanced by the soft lilac of the flowers. 

 Mr. Eisele thinks this hardy plant worthy 

 a place in every border. The neat ap- 

 pearance of the cutting bench, with its 

 varieties of carefully labeled cuttings, 

 marks the past master in the art of 

 propagation. 



The Logan Nurseries. 



Eeview readers who have followed this 

 column with proper diligence are aware 

 that Logan was dismantled when the 

 banners of the Grahams were marched 

 away. They also know that later A. P. 

 Irwin came into possession of Logan, 



and that under his leadership John Hob- 

 son was placed in charge, with instruc- 

 tions to spare no effort to regain for Lo- 

 gan its prestige. But Review readers do 

 not know how hard Mr. Irwin and Mr. 

 Hobson have worked to achieve this end. 

 Logan has once more returned to take 

 its place in the floral ranks. The trained 

 eye would notice but a few changes — the 

 absence of the large decorative plants, 

 for instance — but the trained eye could 

 not fail to note with pleasure the uni- 

 form excellence t)f the stock among the 

 Easter plants. 



The Crimson Ramblers were a beautiful 

 sight, the best that Logan has ever pro- 

 duced. There were lots of lilies and aza- 

 leas, some nice hydrangeas, any quantity 

 of bulbs and ,a really fine stock of 

 spiraea. Large pans of Spiraea superba 

 were a feature. Ferns of the Boston type 

 and the hardy pterises for ferneries were 

 well done. The young palms in small 

 and medium sizes filled several houses. 

 The cut flower houses were devoted to 

 Kaiserins, carnations and sweet peas. 



An immense house, formerly devoted to 

 decorative stock, but planted this season 

 in Zvolanek winter blooming varieties of 

 peas, had given heavy crops from Novem- 

 ber 10 until the middle of March. 



Varioui Notes. 



The consensus of opinion among the 

 growers in the rising eastern market is 

 that this will be the greatest Easter the 

 plant market has ever seen. 



Godfrey Aschmann has secured a 

 number of stands in various parts of the 

 city, intending to clear up any odds and 

 ends of plants not required in his large 

 shipping business. 



Among the visitors who have called to 

 look over stock of plants in this city re- 

 cently were Miss Matilda Held, Balti- 

 more; George Black, of Black Bros., Bal- 

 timore; C. W. Dudley, Parkersburg, W. 

 Va. ; William Feast, of Samuel Feast & 

 Sons, Baltimore, and Fred Smith, of 

 Smith & Fetters, Cleveland. 



Israel Rosnosky has just returned from 

 a southern trip in the interests of Henry 

 F. Michell Co. Mr. Rosnosky wants his 

 friends to know that the Pullman Palace 

 Car Co. voluntarily sent him a handsome 

 check to defray the loss occasioned bj
