ENGLISH NOTES 
Messrs. Fromow & Sons of Windlesham, Surrey, England, who 
are very extensive growers of roses and superior nursery stocks of all 
kinds, report under date of May 7th, 1910— 
“So very much depends upon the weather obtaining here during 
the summer, as to what progress the plants themselves make. At 
the present time the outlook is not very favorable, but we are hoping 
for better weather. The spring has been thus far very cold and wet 
and we are experiencing frost almost every night, which may very 
considerably diminish our stocks. And we gather that this kind of 
weather is obtaining all over the country. This will to a very large 
extent influence the prices.” 
FROM MUKDEN, CHINA 
“The shipment that you consigned to me under date 
of February 17th, arrived here on the 27th of May. Long 
delays were caused by the avalanches on the Pacific Coast 
and to a delay in trans-shipment at Kobe. In spite of 
these delays, the stock arrived in excellent condition and 
at the present time, fully two-thirds have developed strong 
buds and shoots.’’ 
Ellwanger and Barry, Rochester, N. Y., were the
