EALTIMOBE. 



The Market. 



The feature of last week was a tre- 

 mendous glut of all kinds of cut stock. 

 Boses are abundant, and while good 

 flowers sell fairly well, large numbers are 

 sold extremely low and street fakers are 

 now able to secure an abundance of stock 

 at their own prices. Killarney and White 

 Kfllarney are the real leaders. 



Carnations are especially numerous and 

 prices have sunk to a low ebb, although 

 the quality is exceptionally good. The 

 southern jonquils have arrived and can 

 be seen in every nook and corner; one 

 dealer had 30,000 last Saturday and sold 

 them at 6 cents per dozen. Violets are 

 not coming in such large quantities and 

 vnll soon be over, especially those grown 

 inside; in fact, some growers have al- 

 ready taken them out to make room for 

 Easter stock. 



Sweet peas are beginning to wane ; the 

 stems are exceedingly short and good 

 stock is hard to get. Harrisii and callas 

 are both plentiful and lower in price. 

 Bulbous stock is plentiful indeed, and 

 only the best can be moved. Miniature 

 hyacinths are hard to move this season; 

 some pans with five or six bulbs are sold 

 for 25 cents. Extra fine single and dou- 

 ble tulips are to be had in aU shades. 



Various Notes. 



At the annual election of officers of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club, March 13, 

 the following were chosen for the ensuing 

 year: Kobert L. Graham, president; 

 Wm. Christie, vice-president; M. F. Flit- 

 ton, secretary ; Geo. Talbott, financial sec- 

 retary; Fred G. Burger, treasurer, and 

 Chas. M. Wagner, librarian. After the 

 election the members went to the Hotel 

 Baleigh, where an enjoyable banquet was 

 given. Certificates of merit were 

 awarded to Wm. Kleinheinz, of Ogontz, 

 Pa., for a vase of seedling red carna- 

 tions; to Henry Eichholz, of Waynesboro, 

 Pa., for a vase of red carnations, and 

 to G. A. Lotze, of Glenburnie, Md., for 

 a vase of white carnations named John 

 J. Perry. 



On Monday, March 20, E. A. Vincent 

 entertained the distinguished English 

 horticulturists and also the members of 

 the club at his residence at Cowenton. 



Fred Bauer, of Govanstown, has do- 

 nated a handsome silver cup to be used 

 ad a bowling prize at the S. A. F. con- 

 vention next August. Q.

Carnations 



WHITE HOUSE. The quality white. Won the Silver Cup at Morris- 

 town for best undisseminated varfety; Bronze Medal at Pittsburg, and five 

 other certificates. Absolutely non-bursting, clean and kind in growth and a 

 variety that will make good. We have 10,000 for March delivery and that is 

 all we wUl be in a position to supply of this variety. 



PRINCESS CHARMING. The finest thing in sight in the Enchantress 

 shade of pink. Every bud a perfect flower and your net returns per square 

 foot will surprise you. 



Our stock is limited, but we are still in a position to supply first-class, 

 rooted cuttings of both these varieties at $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. 



Chrysanthemums 



We catalogue over 500 varieties and surely we have the kind you want. 



Chas. H. Totty, Madison, N. J. 



Mention The Keview wbeo you write. 



What! 

 No More Split Carnations? 



Not if you use Tank's Artificial Calyx. 

 A sure preventive. Prevention is better 

 than cure ! So simple that a boy can 

 put them on and when the bud has 

 reached a certain stage it is taken off 

 and put on another. 



$20 per 1000. Cash or C. O. D. from unknown parties 



Send $1 for sample of 60 by mail postpaid
