PHILADELPHIA. 



Louis Burk has been suffering for 

 quite some time with numerous car- 

 buncles because of which he is now 

 about to start on a trip to the south 

 in hopes of relief. 



Howard M. Earl celebrated his 

 thirty-second anniversary of his entry 

 into the American Seed Trade by giv- 

 ing a little dinner to a few friends 

 at Dooners Hotel, January 10th. 



S. S. Pennock has been missed from 

 his usual haunts for a few days on 

 account of sickness in his family at 

 Lansdowne. Mrs. Pennock and their 

 two daughters are all under the weath- 

 er. Maybe the 'flu. has come back 

 again but we hope it is nothing seri- 

 ous. We hear of a recrudescence of 

 it along in Delaware and Chester 

 counties. 



Peter Fisher sent a fine exhibit of 

 his new carnation Red Cross for the 

 January meeting of the Florists' Club 

 but unfortunately it did not arrive in 

 time. It was shown at the Pennock 

 Company market and excited much 

 favorable comment. It is a fine glow- 

 ing red in color and has a free artistic 

 form of flower of large size. Stem and 

 calyx show up to the highest standard 

 and altogether this looks like a wel- 

 come newcomer from the home of the 

 long line of good ones that have ema- 

 nated from the wizard who gave us 

 the thirty thousand dollar Lawson and 

 has kept right on giving us finer and 

 better as the years rolled by. The way 

 prices have been running this winter 

 brings back those old halcyon days 

 and fifteen dollars a hundred for pinks. 

 If John Thorpe and Ed. Lonsdale could 

 revisit the scenes now we can imagine 

 how they would glow and smile and 

 shout "Kedivivus." 



CHICAGO. 



A move is on foot to have the pro- 

 posed monument to the late Theodore 

 Roosevelt placed in one of Chicago's 

 forest preserves, rather than in a I ity 

 park. 



Friends of our Native Landscape, 

 of which club Jens Jensen, Chicago's 

 noted landscape architect, is presi- 

 dent, had dinner at the Art Institute 

 and their mid-winter conference Jan. 

 10. A fine collection of pictures by 

 American artists, showing American 

 landscapes, is at the Art Institute.

 surance of $500 on the fixtures and he

 sad feature was the drowning of fire-
