PHILADELPHIA NOTES 



S. S. Pennork has been on a varation in 

 Rhcxii- Island for the past week. 



A ihange has taken place in the firm of 

 Leo Nicssen Company in the withdrawal 

 of Mr. McKissick. 



Violet growers in this vicinity are com- 

 plaining of the dry weather. K. Eisenhart 

 states that he has lost half of the twenty 

 thousand Princess of Wales he had planted 

 out. That variety is one of the hardest to 

 bring through according to Mr. Eisenhart's 

 experience. The double varieties are thriv- 

 ing all right ,
