An Object Lesson. 



There is a beautiful garden in this 

 city that affords pleasure to everyone 

 who sees it. I never see it without ex- 

 periencing a sense of being the better 

 for the sight. It is a small, perfectly 

 plain garden. There is a square grass 

 plot on the right and one on the left off 

 a path that leads from the top of a flight 

 of steps to the house. The center of 

 each plot is filled by a flower bed. 

 Along the front of the vine-covered 

 house is another flower bed. That 

 is all; yet the effect is so fresh and 

 pretty, an effect that is heightened by 

 the city surroundings, that I often re- 

 call it with pleasure. 



Particularly does it come to mind 

 when some brother florist complains of

PHILADELPHIA. PA. 



the war's effect on business, one who 

 does not try and whose place shows that 

 he is not trying. Then that garden 

 comes to mind, and I think that the man 

 who planted that garden with its rich 

 crotonsand draca^nas,i,tssoft green ferns 

 and its bright-hued and its variegated- 

 leaved geraniums, had courage and was 

 going right ahead playing the game. 

 You have guessed whose garden it is? 

 Of course you have. Everybody knows 



the garden in front of Robert A. Craig's 

 and everybody is the better for knowing 

 it. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur A. Niessen believes that the 

 June business in cut flowers has been 

 heavy, fully equal to anything past. 

 This was made possible by the great 

 quantity of flowers.
