PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Thos. Roberts, of Colonel Morrell's, 

 Torrcsdalf, writes from L,ondon under 

 date of July 23 announcing all well, 

 glorious weaivier, fine trip, Kew gar- 

 dens unrivalled in the world and 

 everything in a concatenation accord- 

 ingly. 



A. E. Sterling, forester for the P. 

 R. R., and Paul Huebner in a similar 

 capacity for the Reading R. R., are the 

 active spirits in the local arrange- 

 ments for the entertainment of the R. 

 R. Gardeners' Association, which meets 

 in its third annual session at Horticul- 

 tural Hall, August 24th. Geo. B. Moul- 

 der of the Illinois Central R. R., Chi- 

 cago, is the secretary of the association 

 and will appreciate any courtesies ex- 

 tended to the visitors by local horticul- 

 ti rists. A few automobiles for a trip 

 around town, and an invitation to Ford- 

 hool;, etc., would seem to be in order. 

 Also the freedom of the Florists' Club, 

 and a reception committee! 



A party of gardeners from the Penn- 

 sylvania Horticultural Society visited 

 Fordhook Farms, Doylestown, Pa., on 

 the 5th inst. Among the delegates 

 who took part in this enjoyable occa- 

 sion were: Thomas Logan, William 

 Kleinheinz, William Robertson, Fran- 

 cis Canning, Samuel Batchelor, Joseph 

 Hurley. Thomas Long, John Hobson, J. 

 McCleary, and Thomas Holland. After 

 the hospitalities of the old homestead 

 — presided over by Howard Earl, the 

 Burpee manager and his wife, — the 

 visitors inspected the elaborate trial 

 grounds of this great seed firm and 

 were enthusiastic in their praise as to 

 what these experiments mean to the 

 advancement of horticulture in Amer- 

 ica. 



If two be good looking, suave and 

 debonair, something is liable to hap- 

 pen. After gazing at each other with 

 indescribable and ever-increasing de- 

 light for three long weeks two souls 

 were at last riveted together, deter- 

 mined not to resist the honest im- 

 pulses of the Creator any longer. Their 

 destiny was plain as day before them. 

 Why hesitate" And so it is our pleas- 

 ant duty to chronicle the wedding of 

 J. Max Nitschke of Habermehl's Belle- 

 vue-Stratford emporium, to Miss Chry- 

 stil Mueller on July 31st at high noon. 

 After lunch at the French Club, at- 

 tended by a merry party of friends who 

 were profufee in wishing the young 

 couple good luck, good fame, good for- 

 tune, a start was made for Wildwood, 

 N. J., after which a tour of Canada 

 was on the program. After August 

 20th the intrepid voyagers will be 

 pleased to welcome their friends at 

 5130 Ludlow street. West Philadelphia. 

 This is the kind of news I like to write. 

 Hurry up you hesitating swains. Life 

 is short. 



Springfield, Mo. — The Pioneer Floral 

 Co. at a recent annual meeting re- 

 elected their officers for another year

 ray; vice-president, L. H. Murray;

 etts; manager, W. J. Shaffitzel.
