and plants; and from the multitudes 

 who go to that popular summer re- 

 sort he ought to reap a golden harvest. 



Dennis Connor of the Lord & Burn- 

 ham Co., has the true word for the 

 boys who are in doubt about present 

 cost. He says what's the difference, 

 you'll soon get it all back. Which 

 means that the prices of flowers and 

 plants will stay up as long as the 

 prices of building materials and labor, 

 and by the time either drops you will 

 be ready to meet new conditions. 

 Meantime the word is: go to it and 

 get it while the getting is good. He 

 reports that new contracts are flow- 

 ing into their Philadelphia office in the 

 Land Title Building in very satis- 

 factory shape. 



Charles Pennock who has recently 

 returned from service at the front in 

 France seems to have found time to 

 keep his eyes open for other things 

 besides bombs and boches, judging 

 from an interesting story of his visit 

 to M. Turbot's rose nursery near 

 Orleans, published in the 1919 Rose 

 Annual. Mr. McFarland the editor of 

 this most wonderful, beautiful and 

 educative book is certainly a most up- 

 to-date personage to get a rose story 

 so quickly out of war-torn France. 

 And from the son of an ex-presi- 

 dent of the Rose Society and like his 

 dad a keen lover of roses, makes it 

 all the more welcome.
