Mention The Review when you write. 



in a small way, but is quite a failure in 

 the light soil here, needing a heavy soil 

 to do it well. 



Winsor is grown in quantity and is 

 floriferous. The chief trouble with this 

 popular sort seems to be that everyone 

 is able to grow it and the . market is 

 rather overstocked with it in consequence. 

 Winona carried longer stems than Win- 

 sor and still sells well. Among the flesh 

 pinks, Pink Delight looked superb and 

 carried a great crop. Many growers fail 

 to root this popular variety, but on the 

 last batch of cuttings potted here 

 ninety-seven per cent were rooted. En- 

 chantress is still grown in considerable 

 numbers. It was in heavy crop and is 

 far from a back number yet. Beacon is 

 here easily the leading scarlet and car- 

 ried a tremendous crop. Scarlet Glow 

 looked well and is more brilliant than 

 Beacon, but hardly so free. It will be 

 more grown another season. Some Vic- 

 tory is still grown. It sells well in 

 spring. A small batch of Bonfire, E. G. 

 Hill's new variety, carried some excel- 

 lent flowers. This looks like a winner. 



Harry Fenn, as a crimson, still reigns 

 supreme. There is need, however, of a 

 first-class crimson, as Fenn shows signs 

 of running out. 



Quite a number of home raised seed- 

 lings were seen, some of them decidedly 

 promising. Many thousands of rooted 

 cuttings in flats and large numbers in 

 the cutting benches were noted. Freesia 

 Purity is here grown chiefly in 10-inch 

 pans and is done remarkably well, some 

 stems being twenty-eight inches in 

 height. This freesia is in strong de- 

 mand in the market. Marguerites, both 

 yellow and white, are grown in quan- 

 tity and have been flowering all winter. 

 Shamrocks are grown in considerable 

 numbers, being in strong demand in 

 March. One of the finest strains of 

 mignonette in the country is grown 

 here, the spikes attaining a length 

 which must be seen to be appreciated, 

 the individual flowers being extra large. 

 The Godfrey calla, as seen here, is a 

 great acquisition, its pure white flowers 

 being produced in treble the number 

 of the ordinary calla. One 6-inch pot 

 carried nine spikes in various stages. 

 Everything on this up-to-date place was 

 in first-class condition.
