PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



H(^nry F. Miehell left on the 19tli 

 iiust. for a short vacation at Pine 

 hurst, 'N. C. 



Alpxander Forbes, of Poter Hender- 

 son & Qo., N. Y., was the guest of W. 

 Atlee Buniee at the monthly dinnei 

 of the Poor Richard Club on the 18th 

 inst. 



John Westcott and Robert Craig 

 have on the 30th inst. for a com- 

 bined business and pleasure trip tc. 

 Caba r nd the Isle of Pines. 



Samuel S. Pennock received his first 

 consignment of oranges last week from 

 his grove in Florida. If there is a 

 florist in tliis neighborhood who has 

 not got a box he is a wonder. S. S. P. 

 is like John Wanamaker— he can sell 

 anything from hams to hairpins. 



Mr. Thomas, late chief assistant for 

 Mr. Lonsdale at Girard College has been 

 appointed to an important position in 

 the horticultural department of the 

 University of Illinois. Reward of 

 merit. 



Geo. Walther, of 63rd street and Eg- 

 gleston avenue, Chicago, completed his 

 conservatory just in time for the 

 Christmas trade. He now has the 

 largest retail store in the South Side. 

 Mr. Walther has a good idea for the 

 front corner. It is separated from the 

 rest of the windows by glass partitions 

 and has a glass door opening into the 

 store. This gives him a fine corner 

 show window, cool enough to keep 

 flowers without ice. and warm enough 

 to prevent freezing. The main en- 

 trance is just at the side of this corner. 



EXPERIENCE 



keeps a dear school, but fools will learn 

 in no other, and scarce in that. 



Five or ten dollars a thousand more for 

 lily bulbs is a difference of only one half 

 to one cent a bulb. If only one bulb in 

 ten produce one more flower, it pays. 



Still some haggle over price, trusting to 

 luck instead of common sense for quality. 



..\ shrc-wd buyer of hull s buys from a 

 reliable sour,.e, pays for quality and in- 

 sists on getting it. 



We will appreciate your inquiry for 

 prices on reliable bulbs.
