Mention The Review when you write. 



The line has melted away; the call 

 for more voters brings no response; the 

 polls are closed. William Saville reads 

 his paper; it is applauded and discussed. 

 The secretary rises to read the results 

 of the election. The old guard have 

 triumphed over the youngsters by the 

 narrowest of margins! Speeches are 

 made; congratulations are offered; the 

 utmost good feeling prevails. Election 

 night is over and the members have dis- 

 persed in groups of two and three and 

 more. 



Around the Circuit. 



Thursday, October 5, a select party of 

 ten covered a distance of seventy-nine 

 miles in two motor cars, at the invita- 

 tions of Alfred Burton and his brother, 

 George -Burton. The party consisted of 

 Alfred Burton, George Burton, David 

 E. Colflesh, J. William Colflesh, William 

 Engler, A. Harvey, Edmond A. Harvey, 

 Robert Kift, Arthur A. Niessen and 

 last, but by no means least, Samuel S. 

 Pennock. Starting from the Burton 

 places, they traversed Montgomery and 

 Bucks counties, visiting Stephen Mor- 

 tensen at Southampton; John Andre 

 at Doylestown; the Chalfont Cut Flower 

 Co. at Chalfont; the Florex Gardens at 

 North Wales, and the Joseph Heacock 

 Co. at Eoelofs. Returning to Wynd- 



moor, they took supper with George 

 Burton. 



Various Notes. 



William P. Craig left this city Octo- 

 ber 10 for Chicago and St. Louis, t6 

 attend the meeting of the National 

 Flower Show committee. 



Robert Kift was a judge at the Mary- 

 land state flower show at Hagerstown, 

 Md., this week. 



Carl Boyer spoke on "Plants as Soil 

 Builders" at the October meeting of 

 the Germantown Horticultural Society. 



Fred Cowperthwaite was one of the 

 judges of the Lansdowne flower show 

 October 7, and also judge of the Nor- 

 wood dahlia and chrysanthemum show 

 on the same day. 



The Keller Pottery Co. has announced 

 an increase in the price of flower pots 

 to forty-five per cent off list, to take 

 effect at once. 



The London Flower Shop is attracting 

 attention by the taste shown in its win- 

 dow display. 



George Aeugle says that the Phila- 

 delphia Cut Flower Co. will put a sec- 

 ond car on the street next week. 



J. Stephenson's Son has installed cold 

 storage on the place at Oak Lane. A 

 feature of this cold storage room is a 

 window formed of three sashes, which 



open as one. This admits light and, as 

 need be, air. William Geiger has the 

 place looking well. The flowers go to 

 the Philadelphia Wholesale Florists' 

 Exchange. 



Recent visitors included H. E. Gibson, 

 with the Zieger Co., of Pittsburgh, and 

 Miss G. Newlands, of Buffalo, N. Y. 



Pennock Bros, herald the arrival of 

 the debutante season with exquisite 

 window displays of dainty baskets, 

 beautifully filled. The effect is height- 

 ened by a soft pink and deep green 

 background. 



William F. Dreer inspected his com- 

 pany's greenhouses at Riverton and 

 Riverview October 5. 



William Sw%yne returned from Cali- 

 fornia to Kennett Square October 5. 

 Immediately the flow of fine chrysan- 

 themums from his place to William J. 

 Baker increased. Phil.

The Market. 



A summer temperature injured a 

 hopeful market condition last week and 

 left considerable stock unsold at the 

 week end. This notwithstanding the 

 Jewish holidays, a gradual improve-
