PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Here's a tip that's worth the grow- 

 ers attfiillon. The golden coreopsis 

 Is a beautiful flower and a grand bor- 

 der perennial but as a seller in the 

 cut (lower niariiel in June. July and 

 August there is nothing to it. Grow 

 gaillardia Instead; the dark ones 

 •with clear, well-deflned colors. They 

 sell. Forget Coreopsis grandiflora — 

 and grow gaillardia instead. 



In reply lo a number of inquiries 

 from old friends as to why we do not 

 come out of town and report the local 

 shows, would say that there are so 

 many of them nowadays that it is im- 

 possible, and if you make a rule with 

 one it should be with all— and impar- 

 tial. What little reporting we do is 

 merely as a side line to our real busi- 

 ness. We are not yet in a position to 

 adopt the dictum: "When your pleas- 

 ure interferes with your business, drop 

 your business."
