& Jones Co., will speak on roses before 

 the Florists' Club at Horticultural hall 

 on Tuesday, June 4. 



The replanting of Bride and Maid 

 rose houses with Killarney and White 

 Killarney created a lively business in 

 lifted bench-grown plants, the wander- 

 ing florists paying so much a house, re- 

 moving the stock and marketing it 

 where they could. So few Brides and 

 Maids remained to be lifted this season 

 that these middlemen are at their wits' 

 end to secure stock. 



Conrad Hess, of Baltimore, was here 

 a few days ago. 



Bernard Eschner is planning a cam- 

 paign of extraordinary vigor for M. 

 Bice & Co. Mr. Eschner says that all 

 that has been done in the past will be 

 maintained and an even higher stand- 

 ard attained. He promises to put new 

 ideas into practice that will broaden 

 the field of florists' supplies. 



Kobert Scott & Son have their new 

 rose house at Sharon Hill planted with 

 two novelties, a pink and a yellow, and 

 their own Double Killarney. 



Edward Reid predicts peonies for 

 Decoration day from sheltered fields 

 that have had special culture. 



Paul Berkowitz reports a heavy busi- 

 ness for H. Bayersdorfer & Co. Mr. 

 Berkowitz is greatly pleased over Mar- 

 tin Beukauf's recently acquired abil- 

 ity as a fireman, which adds another to 

 his many virtues. 



The settlement of the coal strike in 

 this state on Monday, May 20, which 

 promises four years' peace in the an- 

 thracite region, is good news for flo- 

 rists. It appears that there will be 

 little or no advance in the steaming 

 sizes. The domestic sizes apparently 

 bear the burden of concessions to the 

 miners. The loss through the 50-day 

 strike in the mining regions was heavy. 



Leo Niessen reports the arrival of 

 cornflower and new dagger ferns. 



The Robert Craig Co. has prepared 

 a fine stock of Nephrolepis Scottii for 

 distribution during the next fortnight. 

 Their crotons and dracsenas are also 

 in excellent shape. 



The first Double White Killarney 

 blooms offered for market have reached 

 the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. 



Walter P. Stokes has compiled an in-

 trous qualities will finish your wedding displays, floral

 tained from various newspaper adver- 

 tisements. 



Edward Habermehl says that his firm, 

 J. J. Habermehl 's Sons, had many dec- 

 orations during the last few days, in- 

 cluding the Clover Club dinner, always 

 a handsome affair. 



Louis Berger, American manager for 

 Van Waveren & Kruijff, reports having 

 received a bulb order from Pittsburgh 

 that runs into four figures. 



The Robert Craig Co. commenced 

 work on the new greenhouses at Nor- 

 wood May 20. 



Hugh Dickson and Mrs. Dickson, of 

 Newtownards, Ireland, arrived here 

 May 19. 



It unhappily appeared in this col- 

 umn a fortnight ago that Maximilian 

 F. La Roche was dead. Then followed 

 an account, a brief account, of Mr. La 

 Roche's life, with a few lines written 

 in sadness. What matters it that this 



was reported seemingly on the best 

 authority? It was not true. Mr. La 

 Roche is alive and well and let us hope 

 that he will live to a green old age 

 and forgive the error that has con- 

 signed him to an untimely grave. 



Phil. 



Lexington, O. — The Coleman Co., pro- 

 prietor of Coleman's poultry remedies, 

 has started in the gladiolus business, 

 having planted quite an acreage. 



Roalyn, N. Y.— Curt Thimm, for- 

 merly of Flushing, N. Y., has pur- 

 chased ten acres of ground here and 

 is building a range of five greenhouses, 

 with concrete walls. Three of the 

 houses are each 28x200 and the other 

 two are each 11x200. They will be 

 heated by Ideal steam boilers and will 

 be used for growing carnations and 

 sweet peas. The materials were fur- 

 nished by the Foley Mfg. Co.
