OUT OF THE GINGER JAR. 



A good feature of the International 

 Flower Show was the excellent label- 

 ing noticed in many displays, notably 

 in those of Roland and Knight & 

 Struck. Every plant was not only 

 well-shown-off individually but it had 

 a label, which, while small and unob- 

 trusive, answered every question to 

 the interested beholder. 



We like the way our Philadelphia 

 growers showed up. Ten firsts and one 

 second was the record of one of them 

 out of 12 entries. Robertson, Podds
