1129 Arch Street, PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



the clusters were large and solid. 

 Two nasturtiums, one light yellow 

 with red penciling, called Giant of 

 Battles, and another bright velvet red. 

 called Resrelianum were especially 

 handsome. 



nock-Meehan Co., who lives in Lans- 

 downe. and has quite a collection of 

 outdoor roses — over two hundred 

 varieties, we believe — which is re- 

 markable considering the limited 

 room on his home grounds. 



DURING RECESS. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



.1. P. As; re has opened a store at 21 

 South 11th street. It is nicely dec- 

 orated in a two tone effect. He calls 

 it, "The Green and White Shop." Very 

 appropriate. Mr. Agre reports the 

 business done there last week was 

 very encouraging. 



Dr. P. H. Lane, of Chestnut Hill, is 

 now the proud occupant of a seven 

 acre farm at Ambler. The elite at 

 Dooner s during lunch hour — well, If 

 they hav'n't got the earache about 

 potatoes and onions and 'tmats and 

 pigs and goats and hens, it's no fault 

 of the good doctor. May he convert 

 them all. 



There will be an interesting free 

 Flower Show in Lansdowno, Satur- 

 day, June 5th. afternoon and evening. 

 Judging from past efforts, this is 

 worth going to see, even by the trade. 

 One of the strong features will be 

 the outdoor roses. There are quite a 

 number of ardent rose amateurs in 

 the borough. Among other trophies 

 to be competed for are three medals 

 by the American Rose Society. The 

 event will take place in the hall of 

 the Twentieth Century Club, near the 

 station, under the auspices of the 

 Natural History Club, of which George 

 L. Pennock Is president. A strong 

 supporter of the local event is the 

 president of the American Rose So- 

 ciety, Samuel S. Pennock of the Pen- 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



H. Bayersdorfer, of Philadelphia, is 

 spending a few days in San Francisco 

 before sailing for Japan. 



Chas. C. Navlet has enlarged his 

 seed department at the rear of the 

 first floor of the Emporium and is 

 negotiating for larger space for his 

 cut-flower section. 



J. A. Carbone, of Berkeley, Cal., 

 who has been largely supplying the 

 Bay trade with orchids, says the de- 

 mand has been increasing nicely for 

 several weeks, with prices about the 

 same as in former seasons. For the 

 month of June he expects to have a 

 fine cut of Cattleya gigas. He says 

 dendrobiums are popular at present. 

 and that odontoglossum crispum is be- 

 coming quite a favorite. 



Syracuse Visits Rochester 



A delegation of the Florists CluD of" 

 Syracuse visited the Rochester Flor- 

 ists' Association, Sunday, May 16, and 

 were taken for a trip through High- 

 land Park and other beauty points of 

 the Flower City. Those of our readers 

 who have ever visited the Rochester 

 liunch need no further details in or- 

 der to realize the reception extended 

 to the guests from Syracuse. All are 

 recovering nicely. 



A SOLDIER'S GRAVE. 



The dust th.at sleeps untliinkiug and Jii- 

 knowlng, 



Tliat turf below. 

 That recks no more of pale December's 



snowing, 

 Or long-dayed June amid the meadows 



glowing, 

 That knows not Summer's birth nor Win- 

 ter's going 



On Held or bough. 

 Was once a soldier's heart. It ceased its 

 beating 



In duty's round — 

 We o'er the heedless sod today are meet- 

 ing 

 To learn the lesson Time has been repeat- 

 ing 

 And give all patriot souls that sleep our 

 greeting 



From this poor mound. 



— Frank H. Siceet.
