Mr. Cartledge is a graduate (third 

 generation) from the old firm of Pen- 

 nocic Bros. 



.lolin Habermehl met witli severe 

 injuries in an automobile accident at 

 Atlantic City on August 19. He was 

 taken to tlie Atlantic City Hospital 

 where it was found necessary to put 

 thirteen stitches for cuts about the 

 head. On the 2fith he was reported 

 to be still under the care of a trained 

 nurse in a special -suile at the seaside 

 resort, and was doing as well as could 

 be expected. 



Pilgrim, the newcomer in the rose 

 world, gets a good word from the re- 

 tailers who one and all, are quite 

 frank in their expressions of approval 

 as to its merits. H. H. Battles is es- 

 I)ecially enthusiastic and declares it 

 i.'i the best rose for harmonious com- 

 l)iiiation on the market. Its lightness 

 of coloring he considers its chief 

 beauty. Where some of the darker 

 roses like Russell make a discord 

 when combined with say delphinium 

 the Pilgrim on the contrary matches 

 lerfectly and makes an artist's dream. 

 Coming from the source it does this 

 is praise indeed, and ought to make 

 the rank and file sit up and take no- 

 tice. 



We told the substance of the fore- 

 going paragraph to our distinguished 

 veteran rose grower William .Alunro. 

 He was very much interested and 

 wished to know why in thunder we 

 hadn't told him all that last Febru- 

 ary. In which case he would have 

 planted a house of it. The reason for 

 that is simple enough. Mr. Battles 

 only told us the last week in August 

 so how could we quote him seven 

 months ahead of his remarks. But 

 Mr. Mimro has a fine house of another 

 one of the good new ones (the Dunlop) 

 and he is very much pleased with it 

 so far. It is making splendid growth. 



Some two years ago we quoted Mr. 

 Munro on the Hadley as being the 

 great rose and the one that would 

 hold its own with them all — through 

 thick and thin- for those who knew 

 how to grow it. He is still as firm in 

 Ills belief on this point as ever, and 

 has a large area of his extensive es- 

 tablishment planted with it. The 

 I lants look fine and run from youn-j; 

 stock to one year, two and three year 

 — several hou.ses being devoted to the 

 latter. 



Some grave and important legal 

 questions are brewing. The law is 

 the law. When we get behind all our 

 little laws, Blackstone looms! And all 

 the little lawyers of the present day.

 Penn and the other publicity men owe 

 him a hearty vote of thanks. 



HOW THE FLOWERS LOVE THE 

 SUNSHINE 



All the way along the turnpike to 

 Cape May there seems to be, just 

 now, an old-fashioned flower festival. 

 There's old Grandmother Hollyhock, 

 that your mother loved and talked 

 about so much, and nearby is Grand- 

 father Sunflower, tall and dignified, as 

 if on guard. Gladiolas, phlox, mari- 

 golds, bachelor buttons, zinnias, lark- 

 spur, coxcoml), heliotrope, fox glove, 

 four-o'cloeks and Rose of Sharon are 

 abundantly spread before you to re- 

 mind you of your old country home. 



Take a day off and go back to the 

 happy days when yon and mother 

 made garden together 



It might be the best way to get a 

 new action started in your life. 



Be at home when you like in this 

 hospitable mansion of merchandise, 

 where everybody feels at home.

Aug. IS, 1920. 



The market shows a better tone this 

 week and flowers have moved off nice' 

 ly and in marked contrast with early 

 .August. Asters are very fine and can 

 be had in all sizes and colors and in 

 ample quantity. The supply of glad- 

 ioli has dropped down to reasonable 

 proportions and the glut seems to be 

 about over. In roses the good ones 

 sell well but the demand is rather slow- 

 on the short stemmed stock. American 

 Beauty made its appearance again this 

 week after an absence of about two 

 months. Two of the new ones, Pil- 

 grim and Dunlop. are also in evidence 

 and are quickly picked up every morn- 

 ing by the wideawake buyers. 



Frank B. Michell has been appointed 

 manager of the Michell nurseries at 

 Andalusia, vice Harry A. Bunyard re- 

 signed. Mr. Michell is a son of Fred 

 Michell and a nephew of the president 

 of the company. He has had a thor- 

 ough training from the ground up 

 (both inside and outside) in green- 

 house and hardy plant growing for the 

 past six or seven years and in his new 

 responsibilities he promises well, 

 and we extend our best wishes and 

 wish him the biggest kind of success. 



The nurserymen, seedsmen and flor- 

 ists take their hats off to "America's 

 greatest merchant." The above from 

 one of his recent ads. is one of the 

 many reasons that have endeared him 

 to the horticultural world as well as
