The Irrepressihle Daniel V. Allen 

 late champion of several things of the 

 Florists club is back on the job again. 

 Some six years ago he made a trip to 

 Europe and did so much business sell- 

 ing chemicals and the like that he re- 

 tired and bought a home in that quiet 

 resort Atlantic City. Now he has 

 opened up again in Philadelphia as 

 Allen & Co., Exporters of Chemicals at 

 238 Arch St., and from all accounts is 

 rapidly making another fortune. Men 

 of his stamp don't retire. They only 

 think they do, for the moment. They 



can't resist the glamour, and roar, and 

 excitement of doing things — especially 

 if "there's millions in it." 



Charles Sim has been confined to 

 his home at Rosemont the past three 

 months but is able to be out once more 

 and is looking well. He is arranging 

 for a sea voyage to Scotland . in the 

 near future and expects to stay there 

 most of the summer. His business in 

 the meantime is being ably managed 

 by his nephew Mr. Edwards. 



"The Kirk" now meets every Friday 

 at 12.45 noon at Dooners, 10th and 

 Chestnut St. A modest collation is 

 served, and conversation is permitted 

 within reasonable bounds. The ruling 

 elder Commodore Westcott handles the 

 gavel; but he is easy, and is always 

 glad to see any of his old friends who 

 can drop in at that hour for their noon 

 lunch and a chat. The cook is great on 

 Finnan Haddie that day. also pretty 

 good on English Bloater. It you like 

 a New England platter a la Providence, 



R. I. youi can have that also. Remem- 

 ber, once a week, every Friday, 12.45. 



In Glasgow, Scotland, Chatenay 

 and Richmond are about the only roses 

 grown for cut flowers. In Buenos 

 Ayres, Argentina, Druschki is about the 

 only one. At this distance it seems re- 

 markable that these two great horti- 

 cultural centers are unable to give 

 their patrons a little more variety 

 from the thousands of beautiful roses 

 available. Dickson surely has a map 

 and can find out where Glasgow Is. 

 The steamers must reach there once in 

 a while. I am told that a boat touches 

 even at St. Kilda once a year, and St. 

 Mungo cannot be much harder to get 

 at. We are not so surprised at the Ar- 

 gentinians — as the way to Hamburg 

 has been blocked for a long time. It 

 is up to Robert Pyle and J. Horace to 

 get after them. 



William J. Muth, Philadelphia repre- 

 sentative of the King Construction Co., 

 has sold his property in Lansdowne, 

 and moved with his family to West 

 Chester. 



Alfred M. Campbell is not only proud 

 of his big showing of Easter lilies — fine 

 as they are, but wants to call the at- 

 tention of the trade to his Hydrangeas 

 and other holiday offerings, which are 

 also extra fine, and just right. His 

 growers at Strafford deserve great 

 credit. Take a run out. There are 

 (rains every half hour or so and it's 

 only a ten mile trip. 



William J. Leonard, the noted Lans- 

 downe rose grower has returned from 

 an extended sojourn among the palm 

 groves of Palm Beach and other parts 

 of Florida, looking hale and hearty.
