PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



First prize on American Beauty 



went to Duke's. Somerville. Mark 



for Andrew Macdonald. 



\\'e are pleased to report that our 



old and esteemed friend, John A. Cook, 



of Beverly, N. J., is about again, after 



a long siege of sickness. 



A silver medal was awarded tu Mme. 

 Charles Russell — the new rose from 

 Waban. Another feather in the cap of 

 Alexander Montgomery. 



Lilluui gloriosum superbum grandi- 

 florum Is the magnificent bunch of ad- 

 jectives tacked on to an exhibit by 

 John G. Gardner. Please don't blame 

 John for the name. He didn't do it. 

 It's a rather curious looking thing — 

 for a lily— but that's all. Forget the 

 rest. 



The world do move. Put three 

 things down as remarkable happenings 

 in 1911. Philadelphia was swift enough 

 to beat New York in the national 

 game; she put up the best fall flower 

 show seen in ten years; and she licked 

 the political gang who have made her 

 name a byword in the nation lor the 

 past thirty years! That is some going 

 for one year. Who said we were slow? 

 Among the many pleasing and pro- 

 gressive results of the recent election 

 is the emphatic endorsement of 

 "Washburn and Good Roads," by 

 Doylestown township. It is super- 

 visor Washburn now. We congratu- 

 late the doctor some, but the citizens 

 of the locality more. Among the lat- 

 ter are W. Atlee Burpee and Howard 

 M. Earl— both of whom tore them- 

 selves away from their engrossing ac- 

 tivities to put in a few licks for good 

 citizenship. 



The free lectures of the Michell Co. 

 are "taking" with the public unusually 

 well this season. The latest, given on 

 the 13th inst., was by Maurice Fuld, 

 his subject being "Perennials and 

 hardy bulbs." The next lecture will be 

 on November 25th, Saturday, 3 P. M., 

 by Hubert Craig, "Progress in Flori- 

 culture." December 4th, Professor 

 Corbett will talk on "Farming in gen- 

 eral." January Sth, Professor Wiel- 

 shoffer on "Poultry." March 12th Pro- 

 fessor Stewart. "Vegetable Garden.'' 

 To meet the increasing popularity of 

 this feature the Michell Co. have de- 

 cided to remove the obstructing mez- 

 zanine and build a gallery instead — 

 and to make a complete lecture hall for 

 the comfort of the audience. Contracts 

 already been given out for these 

 ions. 

 Visitors: Jno A. Schwartau. Joy 

 Floral Co., Nashville, Tenn.; Daniel E. 

 Gorman, Willlamsport, Pa.; Miss Dun-

 well, Conn.
