 a carload of lily bulbs from .Japan. 

 There is always a new lot of stock 

 arriving here. 



A. Henderson Seed Co. is all ready 

 for the spring season and their store 

 looks most inviting. Quite a stock of 

 spring bulbous plants and ferns are 

 not only making the store attractive, 

 but are giving people an opportunity 

 to buy something when they call. 



Charlie Stamajos, who returned 

 from the service on Saturday, was 

 run down by an automobile the fol- 

 lowing Monday night. John Lamp- 

 rakes was with him and both were in- 

 jured quite severely. They have been 

 employees of J. Mangel at the Black- 

 stone for several years. 



A. L. Vaughan, who recently re- 

 turned from a trip through the south 

 with his family, says Florida weather 

 is not superior to the kind Chicago is 

 having this winter. While at Tampa 

 there was a light frost. Mr. Vaughan 

 did not notice any marked additions 

 to the glass area in the- south over 

 that of a few years ago. He called 

 upon Mills, the Florist, at Jackson- 

 ville, and the Knull Floral Co. at 

 Tampa, both of whom had up-to-date 

 places.

 to its present site. The new quarters

berton conservatory at Highland Park, 

 Saturday afternoon, Alexander B. 

 Lamberton, former commissioner of 

 parks, received the congratulations of 

 hundreds of friends on his 80th birth- 

 day. The conservatory was built in 

 honor of Mr. Lamberton by his sister- 

 in-law, Mrs. Mary A. Starbuck. Prac- 

 tically all the city officials, former 

 park commissioners and employees 

 were present. Mr. Lamberton was 

 first appointed to the park board in 

 1894 and succeeded Dr. E. M. Moore 

 as its president in 1902. He resigned 

 January 25, 1918. In the conservatory, 

 there were large displays of prim- 

 roses, tulips, acacias, cammellias and 

 cinerarias, and in the tropical house 

 there were many specimen orchids 

 in bloom. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Lord & Burnham Co. have 

 opened an office at 718 Land Title 

 Bldg. Mr. Fontaine, late of the com- 

 pany's New York office, is in charge. 

 Our old friend "Denny" Connor is as- 

 sociated with him, and also some 

 other charmers of days gone by. May- 

 be there are not so many who want 

 to build, but most everyone needs re- 

 pairs either in heating or overhead. 



Samuel S. Pennock was missing 

 from his usual haunts of business on 

 the 3rd inst., being over in New York 

 City to meet his "son Charles coming 

 home from service in France on the 

 S. S. Lapland. Greetings, Charles! 

 The old Lansdown home will now be- 

 gin to look like itself again to Mom 

 and Pop. 



John Westcott has taken a new 

 lease of life. There is an unusual 

 glint in his eye recently — quite dif- 

 ferent from his usual winter month 

 bored, tired and weary air. If you 

 want to know why, remember Feb. 

 2-nd, and also be sure and ask him 

 "What time is it." Then see his 

 happy smile when he takes out that 

 golden masterpiece with its sea-going 

 pendant, and hear him swear by it as 

 adamant against every time octopus 

 from Barnegat to Borneo. Oh, Boy! 

 Some watch.
