The cream of the crop in Japan is Horseshoe Brand Giganteum of superior assort- 

 ment. This bi^and is selected and packed by men who know; the bulbs will 

 average better per thousand than any brand known. The price is $75 per lOOO 

 for size 7 to 9 inches, no matter who \-ou are or where you are or how many 

 you buy. Ever}- case is recorded and contains a certificate of origin. No other 

 dealer gets this brand — it is sold exclusively from this office direct to the growers.

fore it can be lifted, and take It from 

 me — it's worth lifting. 



Things are beginning to hum around 

 here now. It is no use to come here 

 unless you can discuss fall show top- 

 ics. All roads lead to the show. At 

 the previous meeting, four new mem- 

 bers were enrolled. 



JOSEPH W. PYBUS. 



PITTSBURGH FLORISTS' AND 

 GARDENERS' CLUB. 



Regular monthly meetings were re- 

 sumed on Sept. 6. It was gladiolus 

 and phlox night, but owing to the 

 long continued dry weather neither 

 the home nor the distant growers, to 

 whom the secretary had written, had 

 exhibition spikes of gladioli and none 

 were shown. 



H. A. Dreer of Philadelphia sent a 

 large display of phloxes of all the 

 leading varieties. Owing to the hot 

 weather the exhibit did not come 

 through in the best shape. The white 

 varieties travelled best and among 

 them Anton Buchner, Prosper Henry, 

 Henry Murger and Mrs. Jenkins were 

 noticeable. Mrs. Jenkins in particu- 

 lar showed up as a large, tine, pure 

 white. Gen. von Hentz was a pure 

 scarlet of a lighter shade than Vesu- 

 vius, and drew attention. 



Of the home growers, the Elliott 

 Nursery, Springdale, showed Xelum- 

 bium speciosum and Siebold phlox. 

 They have great success with this 

 Nelumbium planted deep in about six 

 inches of water. They like the Sie- 

 bold phlox better than Coquilicot. 



Neil McCallum of West End Park 

 showed a collection of perennials, and 

 Dr. Shafer hybrid orchids. The thanks 

 of the club were extended to the ex- 

 hibitors. E. C. Reineman, who spent 

 the spring and summer in Europe, 

 talked of floriculture as he saw it 

 abroad, and first he called attention 

 to the fact of Lawson carnation and 

 American Beauty rose keeping better 

 on shipboard than any other of the 

 roses and carnations that were taken 

 from New York. At the Haarlem 

 Flower Show he noticed that the tu- 

 lips were planted closer in the beds 

 than with us, making a more striking 

 display. He also spoke of the com- 

 mon use of window boxes outside the 

 houses and of the greater display of 

 flowers in the florists' windows. 

 Among the flowers common in Europe 

 and rare here he noticed the double 

 nasturtium. In the Public Parks it 

 was gratifying to find every tree and 



shrub labeled with the correct name. 

 His address was very interesting and 

 was listened to with strict attention. 



Several members spoke- of the 

 Rochester convention, remarking on 

 the good attendance and the fine 

 quality of the exhibition. The gladi- 

 oli were particularly mentioned. The 

 Rochester Parks with their fine old 

 trees were spoken of admiringly, and 

 in the discussion which followed our 

 own home parks were mentioned — 

 Highland and Schenley — and in many 

 respects it was thought there were 

 none finer in the country. 



The subject for the October meet- 

 ing will be Dahlias.

 MOVE. 



Monday, September 19th, will be 

 opening day of the New York store of 

 the Pennock-Meehan Co. at 109 West 

 2Sth street. This new enterprise is un- 

 der the personal supervision of Percy 

 B, Righy, a nipmber of the firm, as- 

 sisted by William J. Moore, and an 

 able staff. A wholesale business in cut 

 flowers, ribbons and supplies will be 

 conducted; and same will be run on 

 the high plane as to business standards 

 that has made the parent establish- 

 ment in Philadelphia so well and fa- 

 vorably known during the past quarter 

 of a century. New York, Philadelphia, 

 Washington, are now fortunate in hav- 

 ing one more feature added to their 

 happiness — as each city has the Pen- 

 nock-Meehan quality and service right 

 in its midst. We extend greetings aJid 

 good wishes to the new venture and 

 are pleased to see this evidence of prog- 

 ress and prosperity.
