lu ruriant deep green foliage with bright 

 hued blossoms continues from spring 

 until frost. Superintendent Sehaefer 

 mentioned that a weekly feeding of 

 sheep manure greatly benefited the 

 growth, which has attained a height of 

 thirty feet. With Clematis paniculata 

 as a companion, a bed of Canna King 

 Humbert, backed with an assortment of 

 conifers, forms a charming picture and 

 has been much admired by the numerous 

 summer visitors to inspect the grounds 

 of this old established seed house. Man- 

 ager Weedy, of the seed department, 

 expresses the opinion that there will be 

 a shortage of some leading stocks owing 

 to an increasing demand and compara- 

 tively reduced supply. W. M. 



MECHELL INSUBES ElVIPLOYEES. 



Prominent among the projects for re- 

 warding service of employees and of in- 

 ducing them to greater loyalty to the 

 firms for which they work is that of life 

 insurance. Bonus systems, share-hold- 

 ing and profit-sharing plans are being 

 tried by various establishments in the 

 trade of late. The Henry F. Michell 

 Co., Philadelphia, has adopted the sys- 

 tem of providing its employees with life 

 insurance, as indicated in the following 

 letter which accompanied the issuance 

 of a certificate to each person who had 

 been in the concern's employ over one 

 year: 



This certificate of life insurance la presented 

 to you in appreciation of your earnest and faith- 

 ful service and as an expression In a substantial 

 form of the value- the Henry F. Michell Co. 

 places upon your loyal coSperation, also with the 

 wish to aid you in providing for your dependents 

 In the event of your death. 



We have made arranjcements with the Trayel- 

 elers' Insurance Co., Hartford, Conn., to Insure 

 all employees who have been In the service of the 

 Henry F. Michell Co. one year or more In amounts 

 determined by the length of service as set forth 

 In the accompanying certificate. 



Employees whose period of service Is less than 

 one year at the effective date of this insurance, 

 as well as the new employees, will be insured as 

 outlined above when they have completed one 

 yenr of service. 



This Insurance became effective at noon. May 

 14. 1919. 



No medical examination is required for this 

 insurance. It is provided at the expense of the 

 Henry F. Michell Co. No deductions from wages 

 or contributions of any kind by the employee will 

 be required. 



This action Is voluntary on the part of the 

 Henry F. Michell Co. It does not change your 

 freedom to leave when you please, nor our right 

 as employer to dismiss you.

 the place of nor interfere with the benefits pro-

 tion law, but is in addition thereto.
