have you placed your contract?" This 

 is looked upon as a piece of meddling, 

 or even worse, but was probably merely 

 intended to aid in working up statistics. 

 What the government wants to know is 

 how much and what kind of coal the 

 country requires for industrial pur- 

 poses. Every florist should do his utmost 

 to aid his country in getting this infor- 

 mation and getting it correctly. 

 Mere Gossip. 



The street is full of rumors concerning 

 the business plans of Charles E. Meehan. 

 One story is that he will teenter the 

 wholesale commission field in Septem- 

 ber; another is that one of the trust 

 companies will snap him up. The result 

 is awaited with interest. Everyone who 

 knows him feels that Mr. Meehan will 

 be a credit to whatever walk of life he 

 elects to follow. 



Various Notes. 



Thomas B. Cartledge, A. B. Cartledge 

 and A. B. Cartledge, Jr., successively 

 and successfully underwent the same op- 

 eration in St. Luke's hospital last 

 month. Mr. Cartledge is out again. His 

 eldest son, the last to go under treat- 

 ment, is doing nicely. The younger son, 

 a lad of 14 years, was the first to enter 

 and to recover. 



William G. Stephen, of Berger Bros., 

 enjoyed his holiday quietly at home, 

 looking after his garden and seeing his 

 friends. 



Henry A. Dreer, Inc., has placed its 

 order for coal at a considerable advance 

 over last season's figures, both on an- 

 thracite and bituminous.

 ments on his place at Lansdowne.

Fred Cowperthwaite spoke at the Eo- 

 tary Club luncheon in the Hotel Adel- 

 phia August 1, on children's gardens. 

 Mr. Cowperthwaite told his fellow mem- 

 bers that 1,700 school children are now 

 cultivating gardens- in and about Phil- 

 adelphia. He said that the children 



should be started at this work when 

 quite young, its real value lying more 

 in forming habits of appreciation and in 

 a love for and a knowledge of color than 

 in any material results which might 

 cover more than the cost of seed and 

 trolley fare.
