PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



We had a pleasant call on Monday 

 and Tuesday from Isaac H. Moss, M. 

 McRichmond and several others from 

 Baltimore on a tour of inspection of 

 the growing establishments in this 

 vicinity. 



Another new grower enters the 

 arena. The baby this time is yclept 

 Victor Groshens. He has purchased 

 20 acres at Hillside adjoining the 

 Towill and Fahrenwald ranges and 

 will devote himself to growing roses. 

 Mr. Groshens has been superintendent 

 of the Graham place at Logan for 

 many years. Two houses 29x500 will 

 be the first nucleus. The Lord and 

 Burnham Co. through their Philadel- 

 phia manager, D. T. Connor, have the 

 contract. 



The feature of the Pennsylvania 

 Horticultural Society's meeting on the 

 15th was the primulas exhibited by 

 William Fowler. They were awarded 

 a first and a certificate of merit. 

 William K. Harris, an expert primula 

 grower in days past, declared they 

 must be two-year plants. But Mr. 

 Fowler said they were but one year 

 from seed. They were certainly very 

 fine. 



The Leo Niessen Co. have already 

 got their up-to-date ice machine In- 

 stalled in the basement of their new 

 building. They expect to move In 

 about February 1st. The whole of the 

 first floor will be occupied by the re- 

 ceiving and shipping departments. 

 The offices will be on the second floor. 

 Arthur Niessen tells me that all the 

 fittings will not only be up to date 

 but "1910 style" which means ahead 

 of date some!
