PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



A sensational exhibit was brought 

 over from New York yesterday by S. S. 

 Pennock. We have seen many white 

 carnations but this one called "Match- 

 less" seems to be the real thing. This 

 is in store for 1914 — not sooner. But 

 look this up. Call and see it at Pen- 

 nock-Meehan Co. 



A new flower store has been opened 

 at Bryn Mawr, Pa., by Mrs. A. H. Pike. 

 It is located at near the center of the 

 borough (Lancaster and Bryn Mawr 

 ave.) and is spacious and well-fitted 

 up. Besides the regular trade of a 

 populous and well-to-do community, 

 there is the Bryn Mawr College near- 

 by, also Rosemont and Villa Nova to 

 draw from; so that this venture ought 

 to prove a success. We welcome the 

 newcomer and wish her every success. 

 When Commodore Westcott and 

 John Burton and your scribe fore- 

 gather for a social chat, the talk is 

 genial and interesting — covering busi- 

 ness, the affairs of state, and harmless 

 personalities. All's well, for half an 

 hour, when in comes George Anderson. 

 After the usual compliments and other 

 persiflage, comes a remark about the 

 new 1913 gear in a bevel spiral for a 

 new valve stem in a differential and 

 what same could do in effecting a sav- 

 ing of sparks in the carburetter at 

 ninety miles an hour, etc., etc., — then 

 the war is on and the meeting is 

 busted, as far as the Commodore and 

 yours truly are concerned. Abas! the 

 auto wagon!

IN BANKRUPTCY.

 skin shako, sword and side arms, val- 

 ued at $150, which are exempt. Among 

 the creditors are Elsie De Wolfe, who

The annual banquet of this Associa- 

 tion was held at Martin's on Wednes- 

 day evening, January 29th. The sur- 

 roundings, decorations, etc.. were in 

 harmony with the occasion and every- 

 one of the one hundred present en- 

 Joyed himself — or herself, for about half 

 the participants belonged to the fair 

 sex. Speaking was limited to brief re- 

 marks by F. R. Pierson of Tarrytown; 

 J. K. M. L. Farquhar, president of the 

 S. A. F.; W. H. Siebrecht, president 

 of the New York Florists' Club, and 

 Thomas Roland of Nahant, Mass. The 

 keynote for all was the National 

 Flower Show and the duties and obli- 

 gations of the Association in connec- 

 tion with it. After the talking there 

 was a delightful vaudeville entertain- 

 ment and concert. The table was lav- 

 ishly strewn with cattleyas and on- 

 cidiums.
