PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



"Lynwood Hall." the new white 

 chrysanthemum so much admired at 

 the Philadelphia and New York ex- 

 hibitions, has been purchased by E. G. 

 Hill & Co. from William Kleinheinz. 



The financial stringency is blamed 

 by the Wm. Graham Co. as the cause 

 of their embarrassment. The concern 

 operated the retail store at 104 South 

 13th street. The same firm also con- 

 ducted the Hugh Graham Co. green- 

 houses at Logan. The assets are stal- 

 ed ahead of liabilities in both con- 

 serns. David Rust was appointed re- 

 ceiver. 



Scott's Mrs. Jardine and Hill's Prin- 

 cess roses — both debutantes — were 

 each thought worthy of being decorat- 

 ed with the Pennsylvania Horticultur- 

 al Society's silver medal by a special 

 jury at the fall show. 



Jno. E. Haines was at the same show 

 with samples of his new seedling 

 cai-nations, and was tireless in ex- 

 plaining their merits to all. Some of 

 them looked promising. Across the 

 aisle in the Kleinheinz exhibit, the 

 Haines' Pink Imperial shone like a 

 beacon light, and was undoubtedly the 

 finest exhibition vase in the show 

 with flowers over four inches across 

 and three-foot stems. 



Jno. Cook of Baltimore put up a fine 

 vase of his new pink seedling rose, 

 which was much admired. It was en- 

 tered tor exhibition only. This rose 

 is said to be a great producer and will 

 doubtless be heard from later.
