PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Godfrey Asehman will start on his 

 annual European trip soon. He will 

 visit France, Germany, Switzerland 

 and Belgium. 



Many sunburnt happy faces are ap- 

 pearing in our midst this week. Many 

 eager searchers after primroses and 

 happiness are disappearing about the 

 same time. Vacations of course. All 

 good, but mighty lew of them of the 

 Taft sixty-day kind — unless one hap- 

 pens to be out of a job. 



The speaker at the next regular 

 monthly meeting of the Florists' Club, 

 August 2nd, will be Robert Kift, sub- 

 ject: "The Mission of the Trade 

 Paper." Mr. Kift ought to bear in 

 mind in handling this subject, that 

 the trade Is not a trade but a profes- 

 sion — according to the discussion at 

 the July meeting of this club. 

 Which horse will Mr. Kift ride? We 

 will all be interested in the hippo- 

 drome if he shows us how to ride both 

 ■ — and still live. 



Important news from Philadelphia 

 this week. Dreers are branching out 

 again. This time it is one hundred 

 and twenty acres just beyond their 

 Riverton place. They will erect sev- 

 eral acres of glass on the new pur- 

 chase. The extension was finally de- 

 cided on at the annual meeting of the 

 company held recently, and is the cul- 

 mination of plans that have been in- 

 cubating for several years. J. D. 

 Eisele said a year or two ago — "No 

 sir, no more, never again, we have 

 enough!" But it's like the Irish na- 

 tional bird. "Gloi-y be — if here he 

 isn't back again." 



Visitor— H. Levin, of Stein & Levin, 

 San Francisco, 



ST. LOUIS PERSONALS. 



John J. Burke, after being out of 

 business for the past year, reports that 

 he will on August 15 open his old 

 stand at Grand and Finney Aves., in 

 which location he is already known. 



Alex Geranios, late with F. H. 

 Weber, will in August open a store 

 at Grand and Oliver streets, a few 

 doors from Waldbarfs. He is well 

 known and a good workman and 

 should make good. 



Fred Foster, of the Foster Floral 

 Co., says he is building a greenhouse 

 at his Kinlach place for his decora- 

 tive stock, and may build several 

 more if his two stores pan out well 

 this coming season. 



John S. Seketer, who so many years 

 made wire work for the local florists 

 when employed at Kuehn's wire shop, 

 committed suicide last week. He 

 leaves a wife and brother who have 

 the sympathy of the trade.
