PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Edward Reid left on his annual 

 Southern trip July 24th. Expected 

 home again about August 15th. 



M. Rice & Co. promise the trade 

 some startling innovations in the com- 

 bining ot colors In flower baskets, 

 vases, pot covers, etc. They will show 

 them for the first time at the S. A. F. 

 convention. 



Damage by hail storm Aug. 5 is re- 

 ported bv Robert Scott & Son, Sharon 

 Hill; and Alfred JI. Campbell, Coljing- 

 dale. The amounts are not stated but 

 we understand both are insured in the 

 Hail Association. 



The new Dickson roses for next 

 spring are Mrs. Forde (a pink Cusin 

 but larger) and Fire Flame. These 

 seem to have a distinct place waiting 

 for them in the rose world and further 

 particulars are awaited with interest. 



The Craig forces at Chicago conven- 

 tion will be strengthened this year by 

 the addition of Cornelius Van, an ex- 

 perienced man, travelled, trained, a 

 good grower, a good salesman, speaks 

 the truth in five languages. What 

 more do you want — when all that is 

 backed up by Craig quality? 



John Walsh has been appointed on 

 the Pennsylvania territory as outside 

 man for H. Bayersdorfer & Co. We 

 wish to bespeak for the youngster 

 cordial greetings and good orders from 

 the retail florists of Pennsylvania. 

 Mr. Walsh has been thoroughly trained 

 inside the Bayersdorfer warehouses, 

 and knows his business. 



Duncan Macaw has made a good 

 record for himself as foreman for the 

 Robert Craig Co. He is not only one 

 of the most popular men who have 

 ever held that position but he bids 

 fair to become a producing factor on 

 his own account in time, as he has 

 in conjunction with his brother. 

 Thompson Macaw, built a range of 

 glass at Norwood where he is growing 

 carnations, gardenias and ferns for 

 the wholesale market. 



Charles Sim had an interesting ex- 

 perience on his return voyage from 

 Europe (July 27-Aug. 5) by foregath- 

 ering with Alexander Forbes, manager 

 of the great house of Peter Henderson 

 & Co. It turned out that the two of 

 them were born and brought up within 

 ten miles of each other in Scotland; 

 both about same age; both came to 

 America nearly together; and both 

 have made a splendid success on this 

 side In the same line of business; and 

 neither of them ever heard of the 

 other before. There must have been 

 some swapping of yarns and well, 

 wells, on the breezy poop-deck of that 

 Atlantic liner. 



Visitors: Phil Breitmeyer. Detroit, 

 Mich.; Theodore Edwards, Bridgeton, 

 N. J.; Frank H. Clement, Hempstead, 

 N. Y.; Thos. Roland. Nahant, Mass.; 

 Geo. F. Boucher, Rochester. N. Y.

Fairmont, Minn. — A new storage and 

 packing building owned by B. E. St. 

 John, nurseryman, was completely de- 

 stroyed by fire recently; loss about 

 $2,000.
