Get Ready NOW to Sell Palms 

 for Use Indoors this Winter 



There's this beiiuty about selling well-growu Palms: the demand is steady. Palms 

 are just as good for indoors as for porch and lawn deooration — and now that your cus- 

 tomers are commencing to "live inside" more, you have a splendid opportunity to handle 

 our Palms and make money with them. 



They are grown right here in our own houses, from the seed, by ineu who know how; 

 they are clean, healthy, vigorous plants, and will give the best of satisfaction — both to 

 you and your custimiers. Let us fill your order for some of them ; we have an excellent 

 stock and will ship promptly, and if you order at once, we can still forward by freight, 



saving you the heavy express charges that you'll Lave to 

 pay if you wait till frost. Here are our prices — may we 

 not hear from you NOW?

PHILADELPHIA DAHLIA SHOW. 



The annual Dahlia show of the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, 

 was held at Horticultural Hall, Phila., 

 on the 20th inst. An excellent display 

 was made both by commercial and 

 amateur growers. R. Vincent, Jr. & 

 Sons, of White Marsh, Md., had the 

 premier exhibit in the commercial 

 class — putting up an excellent display 

 of over fifty varieties — all of them 

 showing high culture and of the most 

 up-to-date varieties. Herbert & Son, 

 of Atco, also put up a good exhibit. 

 Wm. F. Bassett, of Hammonton, was 

 the leader from that great dahlia sec- 

 tion. For the latter, it was conspicu- 

 ously announced that the S. S. Pen- 

 nock-Meehan Co. were the wholesale 

 distributors. 



Among the leading prize winners 

 were the following: Gardner Cassatt, 

 Berwyn, gardener Thos. .T, Holland; 

 Jno. W. Pepi)er, gardener Wm. Robert- 

 son; George I. Bodine, gardener 

 George I. Morrow; Mrs. Chas. Wheeler, 

 gardener Wm. Fowler; Miss Gertrude 

 Ely, Bryn Mawr. 



One of the best things in the show 

 was the vase exhibited by Thos. Hol- 

 land. These showed the finest culture 

 and were excellent all the way 

 through Delice, one of the new shell 

 pink decoratives was shown in fine 

 shajie by Wm. Robertson. A saffron 

 in the same class by Herbei't, also 

 elicited much admiration. Vincent 

 showed a seedling variegated — dar'-' 

 pink and white, apparently a good 

 one, very free flowering, unnamed as 

 yet. Robertson put up a fine vase of 

 outdoor roses including Kaiserin Au- 

 gusta Victoria.
