Ten-twelve Ontario. 



Godfrey Aschmann has a fine lot of 

 azaleas just coming into bloom; there 

 are something like 4,000, making a 

 beautiful show. His lilies are safe; no 

 forcing needed to bring them into flow- 

 er for next week. A whole house and 

 an overflow bench of cinerarias are 

 superb, big trusses of large, well-col- 

 ored blooms in a variety of shades. 

 Spiraea Gladstone is uncommonly good; 

 not a poor plant among them. Hy- 

 drangea Otaksa completes the list of 

 blooming staples. Then come the bulbs 

 — ^you just ought to see them. Hya- 

 cinths and tulips and daffodils galore, 

 or, in plain English, thousands of them. 

 The foliage plants are strongly repre- 



sented by kentias, araucarias, which 

 John Aschmann says are much used at 

 Easter, and ferns. The place will yield 

 an immense crop next week. 



Second and Bristol Streoter 



There is an air of life pleasant to 

 see about the greenhouses of Aschmann 

 Bros. They work with hand and. brain 

 and their place shows it. The Easter 

 stock is in excellent condition. Lilies, 

 azaleas, spiraeas and hydrangeas all 

 look well. Their enterprise is shown 

 in the new house, 18x103, just com- 

 pleted and filled with blooming stock, 

 notably 5,000 hyacinths. The general 

 air of thriftiness is pleasant to see. 

 The benches are full of plants that one 



would like to have one's self; no empty 

 spaces, no rubbish. 



Various Notes. 



Ernest F. Hoehl, the well-known 

 mignonette specialist, exhibited some 

 fine flowers at last week's meeting of 

 the Florists' Club. Henry I. Faust, 

 of Merion, staged some of his high 

 grade lilies. Stephen Mortensen dis- 

 played Juliet, a new rose. 



George E. Campbell, of Flourtown, 

 will rebuild one house, 16x140, with 

 Lord & Burnham material. 



Charles E. Meehan has returned from 

 Panama. 



Recent visitors include F. E. Cremer,
