 colors and is in training at Carnegie 

 Tech., while his place has been filled 

 by Earl Tipton, formerly with Penn

 lips has been appointed outside repre-

Private estates are suflering from 

 depletion in their working forces 

 equally with the commercial em- 

 ployers. David Fraser who has man- 

 aged the gardens of the H. C. Frick 

 estate for the past twenty years has 

 but one or two assistants compared 

 with a former corps of half a dozen 

 workers. Outdoor roses were a failure 

 this year in Pittsburgh according to 

 Mr. Fraser. Hay 28 is a record in 

 peas, this being 10 days to 2 weeks 

 earlier than many former seasons; 

 beans and tomatoes June 24 and 

 garden corn was in tassel June 20. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Joseph Heacock Co. have moved 

 their city depot from 1526 Ranstead

 S. Pennock Co., started on his south-

James P. Killgallon, inside sales- 

 man in the ribbon department of the

 trade. 



Lieutenant Douglas P. Laird, late of 

 Dreer's seed store, now in the R. A. 

 F., B. E. P., writes from France under 

 date of May 14th, saying "all well." 

 He states that so far his principal 

 work has been in high flying for obser- 

 vation purposes. 



Charles JI. Jackraan lately returned 

 from internment in Germany spent the 

 week end with his old friend George 

 W. Kerr at Doylestown, Pa. He gave 

 an interesting account of his experi- 

 ences to the boys of the National 

 Farm School on Sunday evening. 



We had the pleasure of being in 

 company today at dinner with a party 

 including Charles M. Jackman. He 

 has some remarkable reminiscences 

 of his two years internment in Ger- 

 many, and held his hearers spell- 

 bound for two hours. There is a big 

 difference between the usual hearsay 

 articles one reads, and the real thing.

James Vick's Sons will remove their 

 entire stock of seeds etc. to their new 

 quarters in the Whitmore building No.
