The oflice of Hoktr i i.n lu; was 

 cheered as well as honored by a call 

 from Harry A. Barnard, representative 

 of Stuart Low & Co., Enfield, Kng. Mr. 

 Harnard Is Just completing his annual 

 tour of the IT. s. and Canada and will 

 soon be on his way homeward through 

 the submarine zone which we hope he 

 will traverse unmolested. He states 

 that while he found trade somewhat 

 depressed in this country vet lie was 

 sulticienty successful to justifv feeling 

 glad that he had come over. He has 

 a portfolio of paintings of new hybrid 

 orchids which make an orchid fan- 

 cier's mouth water. 



The annual meeting of the Boston 

 Mower Exchange was held on Satur- 

 day evening, October 27, at Young's 

 Hotel. As has been the custom the 

 meeting was held at the festive board 

 but this being the twentv-fifth anni- 

 versary of the founding of the corpora- 

 tion the ladies were invited for the 

 first time and judging from the una- 

 nimity of approval the ladies will here- 

 after have the right of way. About 175 

 were in the party and altogether It 

 was one of the happiest and most 

 blithesome and patriotic social gather- 

 ings ever held in Boston. Other than 

 an optimistic congratulatory and witty 

 address by President Stickel and some 

 reciprocally appreciative remarks by 

 V\ m. H. Elliott, president of the rival 

 flower market, there were no speeches 

 the time being acceptably filled with 

 singing by The Lotus male quartette 

 and recitations by a very accom- 

 plished lady impersonator, an innova- 

 tion which seemed to meet with unani- 

 mous commendation. 



During the interim between the ban- 

 quet and the entertainment the annual 

 proceedings took place. The treas- 

 urer's report showed the corporation 

 to be about $4,000 richer than one year 

 ago this including, two $1,000 Liberty 

 Bonds. The organization has paid 

 about 40 per cent a year to the stock- 

 holders since its formation. The en- 

 tire list of directors was re-elected by 

 a unanimous vote, the name of 

 Charles E. Holbrow being added 

 The list of Directors Is as follows: 

 Wni. C. stickel, A. Chrlstensen. L. Vf.

 regret by his many friends. The

Thos. Cooney, one of the most skill- 

 ful workers of the Foley Greenhouse 

 Mfg. Co., was struck by an automobile 

 Oct. 25th while waiting for a street 

 car near his home at Kedzie Ave. and 

 30th St. He was taken to St. An- 

 thony's Hospital, where his leg was 



amputated above the knee. No one 

 can understand how he escaped In- 

 stant death, for the car, which was 

 driven by a young lady, struck a large 

 telephone pole Just behind Mr. Cooney 

 with such force as to break it. The 

 driver tried to escape but was caught 

 and arrested. 



PHILADELPHIA.

The coal situation seems to bother 

 a lot of the growers around these 

 parts. Ready money may mean some- 

 thing with some, but the great ma- 

 jority have the cash in their hands 

 and yet they can't get their winter's 

 supply. Some who started last May 

 seem to be all right. Where Is the 

 coal going to? They say they are 

 producing thirty per cent more at the 

 mines than ever before. Looks like 

 another hold up— like the Louisiana 

 sugar deal.
