The Florists' Review 



October 2, 1919. 



and later made a brief journey through 

 England, Scotland, Holland, Belgium 

 and the border of Germany. Mean- 

 while Mr. PJlliott called upon a few 

 trade friends and visited in Surrey with 

 his old friend, William Robinson, the 

 famous horticulturist. Mr. Elliott has 

 written a sketch of Mr. Robinson, which 

 is to appear shortly in the Garden 

 Magazine. 



The Elliott Nursery Co. has just lost 

 fourteen acres of leased land adjoining 

 its establishment, Brook Lodge, near 

 Springdale, through the acquisition of 

 the former by J;he Duquesne Light Co., 

 which has begun the erection of what 

 is ultimately to be a $50,000,000 plant. 

 The temporary inconvenience, however, 

 is amply compensated for in the fact 

 that the proximity of the new light 

 plant has increased the value of the 

 Elliott firm's property, purchased for 

 $10,000, approximately tenfold. There- 



fore, it is probable that soon Brook 

 Lodge will pass into the hands of the 

 corporation and the present owners will 

 move their nurseries to a less valuable 

 location. 



Extensive improvements are well un- 

 der way in various parts of the Ran- 

 dolph & McClements establishment, for 

 the purpose of enlarging the working 

 space. Two offices are being formed 

 near the front of the conservatory ad- 

 joining the salesroom, while the former 

 offices in the rear are being made into 

 a large workroom. Meanwhile the of- 

 fice staff is located on the third floor. 

 Samuel McClements will retain his 

 private office on the second floor. The 

 firm is already doing a splendid wed- 

 ding business this season. 



Oliver Langhans is using a cane as 

 the result of being afflicted in much the 

 same fashion as was Job of old. Mr. 



Steinert, of Randolph & McClements, is 

 likewise afflicted, his arm, however, be- 

 ing the part affected. A series of eleven 

 boils detained him at home several days 

 last week. 



William P. Gallaher, proprietor of 

 Gallaher 's Flower Shop, at 221 Diamond 

 street, has remodeled and painted the 

 interior of his store. 



Benjamin Foreman is being initiated 

 into the trade as the assistant of 

 Thomas Silverblatt, proprietor of the 

 flower shop in the corridor of the Wil- 

 liam Penn hotel. 



The Liberty Florists have remodeled 

 the salesroom on the corner of Penn 

 and Frankstown avenues, adding an 

 improved display frontage and a re- 

 frigerator in anticipation of the com- 

 ing season's business. A delivery truck 

 of fine appearance is another recent 

 feature. E. E. S.
