PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Business was very dull up at "the 

 Home of the Palm" at Wyncote one 

 day last week. So "the boss" thought 

 he would take a run into town and 

 look around. He was careful not to 

 step on any cracks in the pavement 

 to spoil the luck. When he got back 

 a man from Washington had been 

 there and left an order for $1,169.75. 

 Something always happens when one 

 goes away from home! That last 

 statement may be true; but, as Mrs. 

 Sweeney says, if you want something 

 to turn up, you'd better go out with, 

 a crowbar and pry it up. The crow- 

 bar used by "the boss" the past two 

 years has been liberal advertising in 

 the trade papers. It's not enough to 

 have the goods. You have to tell peo- 

 ple. The boss has and does both! 



Eva E. Poss, late of the Pennock- 

 Meehan ribbon department, was mar- 

 ried July 3rd, to ^rthur George Wat- 

 son Dent, of Collingswood, N. J. The 

 ■event proved a complete surprise to 

 the lady's fellow-workers in the P. M. 

 establishment — showing that the old 

 adage about a woii^an being unable to 

 keep a secret is not always true. Bless 

 you, my children! May you live long 

 and prosper! 



The P e n- 

 nock- Meehan 

 Co. are grad- 

 ually aban- 

 doning the 

 tibre vase as a 

 Hower holder. 

 Galva n i z e d 

 iron buckets, 

 hand- made, 

 of special 

 construction, 

 and various 

 depths and 

 diam e t e r s, 

 are the thing 

 now. These 

 cost twice as 

 much but 

 they will last 

 four times as 

 long. Besides 

 they are cooler, and flowers keep much 

 better than in the fibre receptacles. 



Edward Reid left on a three weeks' 

 southern tour on the 9th inst. Busi- 

 ness and pleasure combined. 



W. Crawford of Kift's is authority 

 for the statement that the magnolia 

 leaf is destined to supersede the galax 

 in design work, the reason given be- 

 ing greater durability. One can stem 

 magnolias now in the slack season

and they will be just as fresh and good 

 six months or a year hence. The cost 

 is a little higher but not enough to 

 have any weight when the advantages 

 are considered. 



Harry Woltemate, Jr., son of H. C. 

 Woltemate, Mt. Airy, succeeds G. W. 

 Waterfield on the old Butler place at 

 Chestnut Hill. Mr. Waterfield has 

 joined the forces of Alfred Burton. 



Visitors last week: Mr. Nunally, Jr., 

 of the Nunally Co., Atlanta, Ga. ; Geo. 

 H. Cooke and G. Milton Thomas, of 

 Washington, D. C; Mr. Sohoenhut, 

 Buffalo, N. Y.; Jno. A. Haines, Beth- 

 lehem, Pa. 



We regret to report that W. K. Har- 

 ris has not improved during the past 

 week. A telephone message from 

 Mark Mills, his son-in-law and business 

 manager, indicates that his condition 

 is causing his family grave anxiety. 



The transportation committee of the 

 Florists' Club desires to hear at earliest 

 convenience from those wishing to join 

 the Philadelphia party to the conven- 

 tion. The larger the party the lower 

 the fare. Address either Jno. West- 

 cott, E. J. Fancourt, or Arthur Niessen. 

 Non-members of the club from nearby 

 towns will be welcome.
