PHILADELPHIA NOTES, 



Philadelphia was represented in the 

 Lancaster County Florists' Club picnic 

 at Mt, Gretna on the 16th inst., by 

 Messrs. Pennock, Liggett, Watson, Mee- 

 han, Connor and others. It is some 

 compliment to a provincial club when 

 it can show virility and class enough 

 to attract the presence of metropol- 

 itans at its gatherings. A lot of work 

 goes before that condition is reached, 

 and it also speaks eloquently of the 

 personnel of the officers, both past 

 and present. 



We had two distinguished visitors in 

 our midst last week, John K. M. L. 

 Farquhar of Boston, ex-president of the 

 S. A. F.; and Thomas Roland of Na- 

 hant, Mass., one of the champion grow- 

 ers of this generation. Mr. Farquhar 

 came to see the Burpee sweet pea trials 

 at Fordhook. Mr. Roland came to see 

 his old friend Robert Craig and his 

 great plant growing establishments at 

 Philadelphia and Norwood. Both gen- 

 tlemen had a busy two days and were 

 whirled around by train and auto in 

 the most approved, modern and express 

 style. On Friday evening the party of 

 eight were the guests of Louis Boss, 

 a famous Philadelphia lawyer, at the 



magnificent new building of the Manu- 

 facturers' Club. When great men came 

 to town in the past the Union League 

 used to be the Ultima Thule. But it 

 takes a back seat now to the Manufac- 

 turers', the last word in clubdom. 

 Howard M. Earl and George W. Kerr 

 did the honors for Mr. Burpee who is 

 at present in Europe. John Westcott 

 and others were on hand to represent 

 the general horticultural interests of 

 the city. We all tried to show the 

 visitors how glad we were to see them 

 and our only regret is that they could 

 not stay with us a little longer. 



Visitors — Albert Merwarth. Easton, 

 Pa.; George M. Bassett, Hammonton, 

 N. J.; Frank Yeatman and Jos. Way, 

 Kennett Square, Pa.; P. De Muth, Con- 

 nellsville, Pa.
