PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Roland von Walilburg. at one time 

 right hand man to the late Charles H. 

 Miller in the landscaping business, 

 has formed a partnership with A. E. 

 Wohlert, Bala, and will take charge of 

 a similar line with the new concern. 

 Mr. Waldburg had an excellent Euro- 

 pean training before coming to 

 America. The new firm, trading un- 

 der thf title of Wohlert & Waldburg, 

 is siiidiiiii out a neatly illustrated 

 Hull' liiiiiklet to present and prospec- 

 tive customers. 



The public sale announced for De- 

 cember 18th of the Peacock dahlia 

 stock did not come off. The wai-ring 

 interests represented on one side by 

 the mortgagee of the farm property 

 and L. K. Peacock, and on the other 

 side by the general creditors reached 

 a basis of agreement at a meeting 

 held at Cam.den, N. J., on the 15th 

 which seems likely to result in a sat- 

 isfactory adjustment of claims and a 

 continuance of the business. 



We hear that R. Lockerbie, late of 

 Wilmington and Philadelphia, has 

 now gone with the Metairie Ridge 

 Nursery Co. of New Orleans as man- 

 ager of their greenhouse department. 



Prof. H. A. Surface, state zoologist 

 of Pennsylvania, gave an interesting 

 lecture on the San Jose scale at the 

 monthly meeting of the Pennsylvania 

 Horticultural Society on the 19th inst. 

 Successful spraying for this pest must 

 be done between now and the first of 

 May, as it cannot be properly reached 

 while the foliage is on the trees. 



Some of our Philadelphia whole- 

 sale florists who have been in New 

 York recently admire the way the 

 wholesale people make the store men 

 toe the mark. My! if we could only

do it like that in Philadelphia! To 

 hear them, one comes to the conclu- 

 sion that the Philadelphia retailers 

 are a lot of pampered tyrants. The 

 antidote is to go to Baltimore and 

 see how the retailers rule the roost 

 there! In that burg a 10-cent bunch 

 of violets must have special delivery 

 inside of 15 minutes else there will be 

 thunder and a special meeting of the 

 Exchange directors. 



That 5-team league match of the 

 florist club bowlers is now nearing an 

 end. Dunham's team looks like a sure 

 winner unless Westcott's can take two. 

 out of three on the 20th — and even 

 then it would only be a tie. And 

 three straight for the commodore is 

 surely hopeless.

 are spending the Christmas holidays

Merry Christmas to us all — every

A BALTIMORE ENTERPRISE. 



It was stated today at the Florists' 

 Exchange that no definite plans have 

 been decided on for the building to be 

 erected on the vacant lot at the south- 

 west corner of Franklin and St. Paul 

 streets which was purchased last week. 

 The directors of the corporation are 

 considering the erection of a two-story 

 structure, however. The first floor 

 will be devoted to the use of the Ex- 

 change for the wholesale handling of 

 flowers. On the second floor a large 

 hall is contemplated. This hall, it has 

 been suggested, may be used by the 

 Gardeners' Club of Baltimore for its 

 meetings. In the basement there may 

 be several bowling alleys for the use 

 of the members of the Club. The lot 

 purchased has a frontage on Franklin 

 street of 33 feet, with a depth on St. 

 Paul street of 100 feet. The officers o? 

 the Florists' Exchange are: President, 

 .1. H. Rider: vice-president, S. C. 

 Bauer; Secretary, E. C. Akehurst; 

 Treasurer, W. G. Lehr. 



The officers, with Messrs. I. H. Moss, 

 E. A. Siedewitz and F. G. Burger, 

 comprise the board of directors. —

NURSERY RATES REDUCED. 



We learn through the Country 

 Centleman that through the efforts of 

 the transportation committee of the 

 Eastern Nurserymen's Association 

 that a reduction of 15 per cent, has 

 licen obtained from the railroads on 

 freight rates on nursery stock shipped 

 in less than carload lots. This agree- 

 ment was secured from the trunk line 

 I l-tissification committee, whose juris- 

 'liiiidu extends from the Mississippi 

 Kni'i- eastward and the Potomac River 

 iKiitlnvard, and must be submitted to 

 tile roads interested.
