PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Grandmother Lee, the dearly beloved 

 of the Burton homestead at Chestnut 

 Hill, is reported critically ill, June 1st. 



C. F. Schermerhorn, assignee of 

 Stern & Co., has sold the effects of the 

 defunct concern to Joseph G. Neidin- 

 ger. 



Visitors this week: Parker Thayer 

 Barnes, of Suburban Life, Harrisburg; 

 P. Joseph Lynch, of Dingee & Conard 

 Co., West Grove. 



Mrs. C. P. Poryzees sailed from New 

 York on the 2nd inst. for a trip to the 

 old country, llr. Poryzees intended to 

 go along but had to change his plans 

 at the last minute. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, held on the 1st inst., was ad- 

 dressed by Edwin Lonsdale on "The 

 Decoration of the Lawn." Mr. Lons- 

 dale is an authority on this subject 

 and we hope to be able to give his 

 talk in full in an early issue. 



Griffin Bros, the Frankford florists, 

 have gone into orchid growing ex- 

 tensively. The department is under

the charge of the junior member of 

 the firm, Bruce Griffin. All the lead- 

 ing commercial varieties are included 

 in the collection which is one of the 

 finest in this locality. 



The new flower store on 13Ui street 

 near Walntit is scheduled to open on 

 the 10th inst. T. Nelson Geiger is the 

 proprietor and manager and as chief 

 assistants will have with him Wallace 

 W. Faust and C. AV. Moorby, both late 

 of Graham's. The store is number 141 

 South 13th and is one of the series 

 under the old Hotel Edouard. Roomy, 

 central and will be handsomely fitted 

 up. 



A tie-up in the street car system 

 here has hurt business considerably 

 the past week — particularly Memorial 

 Day, in the outlying sections where 

 the cemeteries are located. Many timid 

 devotees were afraid to travel. Busi- 

 ness generally is being hurt by the 

 blocking of transportation. Condi- 

 tions do not seem to warrant a long 

 duration to the struggle. There is a 

 vast amount of idle labor around 

 which is likely to prove the solvent. 



Henry S. Penuock, accompanied by 

 his father, Abrani L. Pennock, and his 

 mother arrived by the Savannah Line 

 on June 1st from Jupiter, Fla., for a 

 short sojourn at the old homcbtea.l in 

 Lansdowne. This is the first time in 

 four years that Henry S. Pennock has 

 honored us with his presence, and we 

 are all duly cognizant of the impor- 

 tance of the event. The change from 

 the fragrance of the orange groves to 

 the crisp atmosphere of the dogwood 

 and "the gang" ought to be a delight- 

 ful experience. Delaware County is 

 "God's Country" after all. 



CHICAGO NOTES.

 SO Steinway Hall, 17 Van Buren street,
