Calls were made at the establish- 

 ments of Munroe H. Hostetter, Pah- 

 raes Hostetter and E. P. Hostetter. 

 They all grow sweet peas, snapdrag- 

 ons, carnations and baby primroses 

 for the wholesale market. The qual- 

 ity of the stock was high tor sweet 

 peas, fair for carnations and high for 

 the other stock, grown at E. P. the 

 largest of the three places, his smaller 

 houses being 200 feet long. Three 

 houses are devoted to Asparagus 

 Sprengerii and one to plumosus 

 sprays, one to mignonette, a number to 

 carnations, peas and snapdragons. His 

 4C0 foot King-Construction house was 

 an eye opener to some of the visi- 

 tors. 



A fine lunch was given by the three 

 Hostetters and their wives, assisted 

 by Mrs. Burk holder and Miss Florey. 

 After a few speeches, back to Lancas- 

 ter was the song and the first visit 

 was pronounced a success by every 

 one lucky enough to be with us.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



This office is in receipt of a spray 

 of white heather from Frank M. Ross, 

 with his compliments. We presume 

 this is to wish us good luck — the 

 white heather being par excellence 

 the emblem. There is the usual good 

 display in the florists' stores of pink 

 and white ericas — ^and these meet 

 with an eager demand from the more 

 refined among the buyers — those who 

 are acquainted with the historical and 

 sentimental significance. 



Visitors: Miss Schultheis, Scran- 

 ton, Pa.; Mrs. Lou Dundore Moore, 

 Lancaster, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. John 

 Giles, Reading. Pa.; Charles Vor- 

 keller. South Bethlehem, Pa.; Mrs. 

 Minnie Haines Weber, Bethlehem, Pa.: 

 Mr. Ballinger, manager Broadway Flor- 

 al Co., South Bethlehem. Pa.; P. Jo- 

 seph Lynch, New Castle, Indiana.
