PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Among our visitors this week: — J. B. 

 Deamud, Chicago; Walter F. Fancourt. 

 Doylestown; John G. Gardner, Bryn 

 Mawr: Edward A. Parker, West Grove: 

 Antoine Leuthy, Boston. 



We had a pleasant visit this week 

 from Kroeschell Bros. Co.'s able repre- 

 sentative, Fred Lautenslager. This 

 gentleman does not belie his picture. 

 Full steam ahead all the time. 



Samuel S. Pennock and five other 

 citizens of Lansdowne are a committee 

 to award piizes for the History Club 

 for the best kept lawns in the borough 

 next June. The beautifying of Darby 

 Creek is another project the commit- 

 tee has at heart. 



M. Rice at latest reports is scouring 

 Europe for the latest and best in floral 

 requisites, and the results of his quest 

 will no doubt soon begin to material- 

 ize. The florists of America can be 

 sure that this astute courier of progress 

 will always And something new and 

 good to tickle the aesthetic tastes of 

 their customers. 



Philadelphia is not much of a center 

 for plant auction sales, but one hap- 

 pens once in a while. The latest was 

 on the nth inst. at Freeman's. A good 

 sprinkling of the trade were present 

 looking for bargains in roses, ever- 

 greens and shrubs. But there was 

 nothing to be picked up cheap. Al- 

 most everything brought retail prices, 

 and those who were looking for bar- 

 gains wasted their afternoon. Walter 

 Fancourt suggested that the high prices 

 were an evidence that the public were 

 educated up to appreciating and will- 

 ing to pay good prices for good stock. 

 Walter is right. 



W. Atlee Burpee presided at the an- 

 nual meeting of the Canadian Society 

 held at the Hotel Walton on the 9th 

 inst. Mr. Burpee was at his best and 

 introduced the speakers in his own in- 

 imitable way. The affair was a great 

 success and was given leading space in 

 the dailies next day. Wm. Henry 

 Maule, Howard M. Earl, Walter P. 

 Stokes, A. E. Brown, Burnett Landreth 

 and other seedsmen were among the 

 guests, representing many of the 

 brightest lights in official, business and 

 professional life in this vicinity. Rob- 

 ■ ert Craig and A. B. Scott were there 

 to show that floriculture had a look-in. 

 Cy. Warman, the Canadian poet and 

 philosopher, made one of the most 

 brilliant speeches of the evening — his 

 slogan being "Canada's Glory Is Her 

 AVheat." We congratulate Mr. Burpee 

 on the successful outcome of his year 

 in the presidency. Whatever he does, 

 is always done well.
