PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



W. Helper of M. Rice & Co., has 

 started on his first trip. Look for 

 him, he will be calling on you shortly. 



Charles F. Edgar, well known in lo- 

 cal circles, goes from here to occupy 

 an important position in the retail lite 

 of Washington, D. C. 



Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Eschner of 

 Elklns Park, spent the week end at 

 Atlantic City in honor of the 77th 

 birthday of Mrs. Eschner's mother. 

 Mrs. Hyman H. Herzberg. 



John W. Duncan, late of the Boston 

 Parks now superintendent of the park 

 system of Spokane, Wash., was a wel- 

 come visitor on the 20th inst., taking 

 in Dreer's and other points of inter- 

 est in Phlla. , ■ ^. 



C H. Grakelow, one of the bright 

 retailers of Philadelphia, has been 

 absent from his usual haunts for many 

 ■days The latest heard from him is 

 addressed to Capt. Davis of the Nies- 

 sen Co., dated Los Angeles, Cal. 



Of course we went to see the Phil- 

 adelphia contingent off to Chicago. 

 The train was half an hour late; but 

 as the commodore said: "that is noth- 

 ing strange for the B. & O." They 

 were a merry party, and though fewer 

 than usual lacked nothing in enthu- 



This has been a busy week at 

 Craig's. Orders from Chicago have 

 teen coming in thick and fast. The 

 powerful combination of Craig quality 

 -with the persuasive personalities of 

 Bill and Van— aided and abetted by 

 the old War Horse— has evidently 

 turned the trick. 



J. S. Butterfield and Mrs. Butter- 

 field blew into our midst on the 16th 

 inst. on their way back from the 

 Railroad Gardeners' Convention at 

 Roanoke. Mr. Butterfield is the "Paul 

 Huebner" of the Missouri Pacific— 

 •with headquarters near Kansas City. 

 He has the gardening interests of 

 some seven thousand miles of track 

 under his care. That's some railroad! 

 He states that the convention was a 

 great success and very enjoyable. The 

 Association now numbers over one 

 hundred members which is a good 

 showing for the limited field. 



Visitors: C. C. Austerman of Aus- 

 terman & Steele, Springfield, Mass.; 

 Mr. Siebrecht, Siebrecht & Siebrecht, 

 wholesale florists. New York City. 



CINCINNATI NOTES. 



The Toomey Flower Shop is mov- 

 ing to the next door south; the new 

 store room is much more commodious 

 than the old one. 



About forty-five left this city at noon 

 on Monday on the "Florists' Special," 

 bound for the convention. C. E. Critch- 

 ell, state vice-president, and A. C. 

 Heckman, Jr., headed the party. E. 

 G. Gillett's midnight party was up to 

 its quota. 



Visitors, most of them on the way 

 to Chicago, were Mr. and Mrs. C. W. 

 Crouch, Knoxville, Tenn.; S. M. Harbi- 

 son, Danville, Ky.; Mr. and Mrs. W. 

 F. Haeger, Chattanooga, Tenn.; Chas. 

 Lr. Baum, Knoxville, Tenn.; William
