THE VERY NEWEST AND QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTROYING WEEDS, 



GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS, GUTTERS, 



TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



This fluid absolutely destroys all weeds and other growth wherever applied, 

 nnd its effect on the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year and' 

 thus saves a great deal of time and labor, as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away 

 of the weeds is required.

PHILADELPHIA. 



Mrs. Albert M. Herr and Mrs. Brown 

 of Lancaster, Pa., visited our annual 

 society event, the "Flower Market" In 

 Rittenhouse Square on the 17th. They 

 ■were after pointers. Lancaster means 

 to go Philadelphia one better. 



There will be a flower show at 

 Lansdowne Saturday, June 3rd, in 

 Century Hall, opening at 2 P. M. 

 Samuel S. Pennock, president of the 

 American Rose Society, lives in Lans- 

 downe and will do his share as an 

 exhibitor. He has a very complete 

 rose garden, full of rare varieties from 

 all over the world, and is always glad 

 to show his neighbors anything in 

 season. He wants all readers of Hor- 

 TictjLTriiE to come out to the exhibi- 

 tion and en.ioy themselves and help to 

 spread the enthusiasm. 



Flowers Are Loved for Tiieiu Ow.\ 



S.\KES. 



Every month In the year they rise up 

 amongst us in a new dress, calling forth 

 admiration, love and i)raise. They are tlie 

 pride of the rich and the .ioy of the poor. 



Some of llio old llowers, such as the 

 Marigold and Sweet Williams, arc like the 

 old-fashioned old gentleman, and the Red 

 Clovers and Huttercups. of which there 

 are ten times more than we need, are like 

 the roguish little children, of which we 

 never have enough to play among them. 



The Poppies and Morning Glories .-ire the 

 debutantes in the glow of young woman- 

 hood. IIow your mother always loved 

 Koses and Sweet Peas and Honevsuekle! 

 Don't you remember? 



The rich have paintings and books and 

 rare gems. 



The poor have few things and little to 

 get them with. If there were no flowers 

 they would he largely shut off from the 



exriuisite pleasure of graceful shapes, col- 

 ors and perfumes. 



They are messages of affection. They 

 constitute tokens of remembrances and 

 brotherhood and sisterhood of the human 

 race. 



Let Us Help Those Good Women. 



Wednesday, Slay 17th, in their noble work 

 for the sick children of the city tlirough 

 their 



Annual Ft.ower Market in Ritten- 

 house Square. 



Every penny spent for flowers goes di 

 rectly in caring for sick children, accord- 

 ing to the declaration of its managers. 

 (Signed) John Wanamaker. 



John says things better than them 

 all even if its only in an ad. He chose 

 to achieve fame as a great merchant. 

 He could have done the same thing 

 had he started out to be a great 

 author.
