blown to pieces almost as soon as they 

 opened. The prolonged season has 

 been a decided help to the plantsmen 

 and nurserymen. Bedding stock is in 

 unusually good demand and the qual- 

 ity generally excellent. 



Peterson's Nurseries and the Geo. 

 Wittbold Co. generously gave of their 

 time and material in the decorations 

 of the Blackstone Theatre where 

 the Woman's Congressional Union 

 lunches their party this week. The 

 entire stage is crossed twice, low in 

 the front and high in the back, by a 

 white lattice with clinging vines, and 

 the effect is very striking. At either 

 end and in the hotel parlors are 

 masses of hydrangea plants. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Dennis T. Connor, of the Lord & 

 Burnham Co., has recovered from his 

 serious illness and went on duty again 

 June 1st. 



OUT OF THE GINGER JAR. 



Our old friend Duncan McCaw, late 

 of Craig's and now on his own at Nor- 

 wood, flashed a new delivery auto into 

 town the other day and nearly blinded 

 us all with its splendor. It's even got 

 a coat of arms — besides the name and 

 address of the firm — on the outside. 

 And the motto; "Virtus coronet opus" 

 (merit crowns the work) — "that's go- 

 ing some," isn't It? If Duncan dares 

 to send in anything but first-class 

 stock on that wagon, we are justified 

 in shooting holes in the motto — and 

 can say for ourselves "Vincit omnia 

 Veritas" (truth conquers all things). 

 Gwan with your old Latin, Duncan: 

 Give us some Gaelic. G. C. W. 



ing somewhat of a disappointment. 

 The orders for this work have been 

 unusually large in numbers and di- 

 mensions, and if possible to carry out 

 as was originally intended and ex- 

 pected, would have far more than com- 

 pensated for any previous dearth of 

 work in this line. As it is. however, 

 the spring season of 1916 will long be 

 remembered as a red-letter era in 

 landscape architecture and gardening. 



PITTSBURGH. 



David Eraser, supt. of H. C. Frick's 

 Pittsburgh estate, spent a few days in 

 New York last week. 



Commodore John Westcott's club 

 opening at Waretown is scheduled for 

 the 23rd inst. The invitations are not 

 out yet and who the lucky ones are to 

 be this year is not yet known. 



The Strafford Flower Farms (Edward 

 A. Stroud, prop.) devoted to the cul- 

 ture of carnations and doing also a 

 local norists' business, have been 

 leased by Alfred M. Campbell. 



Mrs. James M. McGrew is conval- 

 escing in Columbia Hospital after an 

 operation for appendicitis. Mr. McGrew 

 is head salesman for G. P. Weaklln & 

 Co. Miss Helen Ingraham has been 

 added to the sales staff of the same 

 firm. 



Charles Sim has been suffering 

 from a severe attack of asthma and 

 bronchitis the past few weeks. He 

 left on June 8th for a short vacation. 

 The sea breezes at Atlantic City 

 ought to do him good. 



William A. Clarke of the Pittsburgh 

 Cut Flower Co., with Mrs. Clarke, will 

 be in the party of 180 Pittsburghers 

 leaving next Tuesday to attend the 

 Knights Templar Conclave at Los 

 Angeles. Their intention is to be 

 absent one month. 



Owing to an unusual scarcity of 

 laboring men, landscape work is prov- 



J. H. SMALL & SONS' NEW FLOW- 

 ER STORE 



A glance at the picture which we 

 use as a cover illustration this week 

 will perhaps give a much better idea 

 of this palatial floral establishment 

 than any wordy description that we 

 may try to give, particularly a^ to di- 

 mensions and various statistics, which 

 really count for but little. Messrs. 

 Small & Sons feel that they have in 

 this new place at 52nd street and 

 Madison Ave., New York, the finest 

 retail flower emporium on the conti- 

 nent and we are inclined to agree 

 with them. Certainly they have the 

 space and accessories for every de- 

 pai'tment of the work and in decora- 

 tive effect and artistic impression it 

 would seem there is nothing more 

 that could be added. The place is in- 

 deed an exhibition in itself and an 

 object lesson in its daily-changed ar- 

 rangement, in decorative art, where 

 simplicity and elegance give expres- 

 sion to refined taste in everything 

 that can make a leading metropolitan 

 flower store worthy of the name.
