 order the bird stuffed. 



E. E. Pieser was 48 years old Jan- 

 uary 1. A celebration occurred at his 

 home the next day, made all the more 

 happy by tlie physician's statement 

 that his brother, G. H. Pieser, now 

 needs only to regain his strength to 

 be a well man. 



Gardenias will soon be in sufficient 

 local supply to meet the needs of the 

 trade. 0. W. McKellar is one of those 

 who now has a local consignor of 

 these flowers. 



Kyle & Foerster say that Frederick 

 Benthey & Co., New Castle, who missed 

 Christmas with their crop, are just be- 

 ginning to cut heavily, with every pros- 

 pect of hitting the best part of the 

 winter rose market. 



J. E. Schaeffer, formerly in charge 

 of the new cut flower department of 

 J. H. McNeilly, the Sixty-third street 

 caterer, is now with W. J. Smyth. 



Among the recent visitors have been: 

 Mr. York, manager of the Lakeside 

 Floral Cof., Houghton, Mich.; J. H. 

 Grohe, Athens, 111.; Mr. Young, Jr., of

REPOTTED FEBNS TURN YELLOW. 



Will you please tell me what is the 

 matter with my Whitmani ferns? I 

 repotted them in quite moist soil and 

 did not water them for a few days, but 

 sprayed the foliage for several days 

 after potting. They turned yellow about 

 a week afterward. Did I do wrong in 

 spraying them? J. H.

Mention The Review when you write. 



It seems probable that these ferns 

 suff"ered from lack of water at the root, 

 for, unless the potting soil was really 

 too wet to use, the plants should have 

 had a watering immediately after they 

 were potted. Spraying overhead would 

 be likely to do more harm than good to 



Nephrolepis Whitmani at this season. 

 As a matter of fact, this variety will 

 not stand as much spraying at any 

 time as the Boston fern, the fronds be- 

 ing so much more dense that they are 

 liable to be borne down by the weight 

 of water on them. W. H. T.
