Telegraphic Addre; 



" O r*G l-» id s EnfielcJ : 



a black and a maltese, and you can 

 havo tbeni for nothing!" 



The statement in a recently printed 

 "Nosegay" to the effect that the new 

 reeosi ized Christinas decorative flower, the 

 nil tctlve poinsettia, was introduced to 

 the east about 11 years ago by a pitts- 

 burg artist, who found it in California, is 

 refuted by George C. Wats, mi. the well- 

 known writer on horticulture, who says: 

 "No The honor belongs to a Philadel- 

 piiian. The poinsettia was introduced to 

 the world aboul 80 wars ago by Robert 

 Bulst the famous seedsman and fi iwer 

 grower, who obtained the first plant 

 through M Poinsett, then Mexican Minis- 

 ter at Washington— Philadelphia Record. 



The above emphasizes how we, of 

 the present day, forget to credit our 

 wonder-workers of the past. We have 

 interviewed many poinsettia growers 

 in Philadelphia and uot a solitary one 

 was aware that it was a Philadelphian 

 who first introduced this plant to the 

 world. Just think of it. There's "we" 

 a blasted foreigner— has put them 

 straight— on things they ought to be 

 proud of. Another thing: whenever 

 you see a rediculous statement in your 

 daily paper— hit it just as George C. 

 Watson does. That's duty and good 

 citizenship.

Philadelphia, Pa.— The past year 

 has been the most successful one 

 in the history of Rice & Com- 

 pany, the increase in the volume of 

 business being so great that the pres- 

 ent extensive quarters have proven in- 

 adequate to properly handle it. Plans 

 have been made for an enlargement of 

 the plant which will greatly increase 

 the facilities of the various depart- 

 ments and enable this progressive 

 house to not only maintain but even im- 

 prove upon the service for which it is 

 noted. To this end the firm has leased 

 the large three-story building, 120 

 Camac street, this building being 

 directly back of their present seven- 

 story establishment. The two struc- 

 tures will be connected by bridges, 

 and when alterations are completed 

 Rice & Co. will have the largest floor 

 space of any florists' supply house in 

 the country.
