PHILADELPHIA 



We had a pleasant visit this week 

 from the distinguished seedsman Alex- 

 ander Forbes of Newark, N. J. He is 

 all right again after a siege In the 

 hospital with a dislocated hip. 



John Berger of Berger Bros, has 

 been laid up with an attack of pleu- 

 risy since Dec. 19th. On the 6th inst. 

 he was reported as being much im 

 proved. 



Howard M. Earl of Washington, D. 

 C. passed through our midst on the 

 6th inst on his way to Europe on a 

 business trip. He expected to sail 

 either on the Carmannia or the Lap- 

 land and will be gone until next April. 



The latest addition to the delivery 

 service of the S. S. Pennock Co. is a 

 handsome new Willis-Knight car. Em- 

 blazoned on its sides is the slogan of 

 the trade "Say it With Flowers" in 

 large caps — so that all who run may 

 read. This is a good form of publicity 

 and cannot be too widely followed. 



Many concerns seem to think that 

 hitting the skyline in prices is a grave 

 mistake — if not a crime. Those who 

 think in that direction are retailers. 

 They are most vigorous in their de- 

 nunciations. And some of them even 

 have gone so far as to hope that the 

 growers had a lot of good stuff unsold 

 on Christmas eve. On the other

hand the growers feel that it was a 

 case of cold feet with the retailers. 

 They have been so used to having it 

 their own way for so many years that 

 they didn't have the nerve to pay a 

 good price and charge a goc d price 

 So between the two — you pay your 

 money and you take your choice.
