PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



One of the notable new carnations 

 exhibited at the fall show of the Penn- 

 sylvania Horticultural Society was 

 Pink Imperial from John E. Haines, 

 Bethlehem, Pa. It is in the front 

 rank both as to stem and flower, and 

 will be heard from in the future. 



William Robertson starts next week 

 on a month's visit to his old home in 

 Scotland. This trip is complimentary 

 by Mr. Jas. W. Pepper whose country 

 seat grounds ilr. Robertson has super- 

 intended for many years with con- 

 spicuous success. 



Jno. Mclntyre is the latest recruit to 

 the commission ranks. He is located 

 at 1610 Ranstead street. 



An interesting event will take plac 

 at the residence of George Anderson, 

 Woodland avenue, on the 2uth instant, 

 when his daughter, Georgina, will be 

 married to .Albert Raymond Bryant. 

 Miss Katherine Bogan, our informant, 

 who presides over the telephone ex- 

 change desk in Michell's and does 

 her share in popularizing that great 

 store, is to be one of the bridesmaids. 



A sixty thousand dollar fire occurred 

 next door to Burpee's on Tuesday 

 morning. The papers reported five 

 thousand damage to the seed store 

 but on inquiry we are glad to be in- 

 formed this was incorrect as there 

 was no damage. 



We had a pleasant flying visit from 

 the president-elect of the S. A. F., Mr. 

 W. J. Stewart, on Monday. An in- 

 formal discussion of plans for the 

 convention of 19U7 which takes place 

 here next August was an interesting 

 feature of the call. Vice-president 

 Westcott and a number of the other 

 leading lights took part. 



W. A. Hammond of Richmond, 

 Virginia, was a recent visitor as was 

 also Mr. Foster of Westerly, R. I. 



An interesting display of cut roses 

 and carnations was staged last Thurs- 

 day, the third day of the chrysanthe- 

 mum show. Cottage Gardens, F. R. 

 Pierson Co. and John E. Haines, ex- 

 hibited some good new varieties of 

 carnations. Wm. Kleinheinz, Samuel 

 Batchelor, Jno. Hedland, and Thomas 

 C. Gaynor, were among the local prize 

 winners in these sections. 



Archibald Ribchie, 5th and Wyoming 

 avenues, has just completed three new 

 houses by Lord & Burnham, each 

 18x80. Mr. Ribchie is the scion of a 

 family at one time quite well known 

 in the gardening world of Philadel- 

 phia

 He was a native of Brooklyn. A wid- 

 ow and three children survive him. 



Leonard J. Doyle, son of Wm. E. 

 Doyle, of Boston, died on Tuesday. 

 November 13. The funeral on Thurs- 

 day was attended by many of the flo-

 is extended to the stricken family. 



D. Henry Sullivan has been ap- 

 pointed to the position of superin- 

 tendent of public grounds of Boston
