A Philadelphia Outing. 



A pleasant outing for the employes 

 • of Messrs. Burpee and Maule took place 

 on the ISth inst. at Briar Crest, the 

 country home of Wm. Henry Maule. 

 The visitors were hospitably enter- 

 tained and had an interesting time 

 noting the tests of many beautiful 

 plants, flowers and vegetables in the 

 gardens, grounds and greenhouses. As 

 a fitting wind-up to the festivities, and 

 an outlet for young and lightsome feel- 

 ings a game of ball was indulged in. 

 We have been asked to suppress the 

 score, but a stern sense of public duty 

 compels us to announce that same was 

 13 to in favor of the Maule team. 



Notes. 



European advices just received by a 

 local seed house would indicate that 

 the annual offerings of fancy grasses 

 ■will be three weeks later than usual 

 this year on account of the backward 

 season. 



At a meeting of the board of direc- 

 tors of J. P. Noll & Co., Inc., Newark, 

 N. J., on September 15th, Edward C. 

 Tmngan, for over thirty years with 

 Wra. Hy. Maule, Philadelphia, Pa., was 

 elected president and general manager 

 of the company. 



Mr. Alfred Emerich, representing 

 Messrs. Vilmorin, Andrieux & Co., 

 Paris, France, will arrive in New York 

 about September 25th, and will make 

 his usual visits to the American seed 

 trade. Any communications for him 

 should be addressed care H. Frank 

 Darrow, P. O. Box 1250, New York.
