PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Edgar T. Scott of Landsdowne is 

 building a new rose house in addition 

 to the already extensive range of glass 

 on the estate. Arthur Mallon is now 

 the gardener succeeding Joseph Mc- 

 Gregor, retired. 



Paul Berkowitz of the H. Bayers- 

 dorter Company is much pleased with 

 the interest taken all over the 

 country in the new "Twentieth 

 Century" plant stand which his firm 

 is now putting on the market. This is 

 really a marvel of adaptability. We 

 predict that inside of a very short 

 time every first-class florist in the 

 country will have it in use. 



We hear that Edwin Lonsdale has 

 been commissioned to go to Erie in 

 an advisory capacity in landscape 

 work on the Soldier's Home at Erie. 

 This is a development of the good 

 work Mr. Lonsdale has been doing at 

 Gir.ard College the past two years. Of 

 course this is only a side issue and he 

 will return to his regular duties about 

 the middle of June. 



FIRE RECORD. 



The Limprecht Florist Supply Co. 

 of New York City, were the victims of 

 a fire on May 12, in which they lost 

 severely but are well covered by in- 

 surance. 



The persistent barking of his little 

 dog aroused John Roper of Madison, 

 N. J., from his slumbers in the early 

 morning to find his greenhouses in 

 names. His house is attached to the 

 greenhouses. The damage is heavy and 

 it is stated there is no insurance.
