Eoy Connett, assistant orchid grower 

 to S. Hudson at the W. J. & M. S. Vesey 

 greenhouses, spent last week iu Chicago, 

 among the growers. C. J. Houck, head 

 of the packing house force of the same 

 firm, has returned from a two weeks' 

 vacation. 



Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Shive, of the 

 Flick Floral Co., and Mr. and Mrs. 

 Clem Lanternier, of A. J. Lanternier & 

 Sons, are among the Fort Wayne florists 

 who will attend the S. A. F. convention 

 at Detroit, Mich. 



Mrs. Mildred Flick Buchanan will 

 leave this week for a several weeks' 

 visit with her aunt, Miss Clara B. Flick, 

 at Point Place on Lake Erie, near To- 

 ledo, O. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey have taken on an 

 extra force of men and are making ex- 

 tensive repairs on their greenhouses, in 

 preparation for the fall planting. 



Midsummer weddings have been more 

 numerous at the store of the Flick Flo- 

 ral Co. this year than ever before. The 

 firm is carrying on a systematic plan of 

 advertising this summer and believes 

 greatly in publicity for flowers. To the 

 delivery outfit has been added a new 

 truck, with the slogan, "Say It with 

 Flowers," lettered on the sides.

MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



A big crowd was watching the 

 ' ' human fly ' ' crawl up a tall building in 

 Schenectady, N. Y. "Publicity," ob- 

 served Henry Eberhardt, of the Rosen- 

 dale Flower Shop, adding, "and 'hang- 

 ing on' is what the trade is doing at the 

 present time, anticipating even bigger 

 results in the future. Aerial weddings 

 have not yet affected our business. I 

 question whether the fad will become 

 popular. Funeral work is fully up to 

 the usual volume and, owing to the fa- 

 cilities offered by the F. T. D., we are 

 sending more flowers by wire than ever 

 before." 



In the New York Times for July 25 

 8. 8. Skidelsky rose indignantly to de- 

 fend the reputation of his former home 

 town, Philadelphia, from the attack of, 

 apparently, a New Yorker. Mr. Skidel- 

 sky, who is now a resident of Manhat- 

 tan, took advantage to show up the best 

 side of the Quaker City, but overlooked 

 the opportunity to boost it florally. This 

 reminds me of a quotation from Richard 

 Harding Davis' "Memoirs": 



Some folks love the lilies that hide lo motuj 



delU, 

 Some folks are fond of new-mown hay t>efore the 



rainy spells, 

 Bnt g\rt to me the orchids rare that hang In 



Thorlejr's store 

 And in rieischman'a, at tlie HotTman, and In 



half a dozen more, 

 Aad when I see them far from home, thej maka 



my heart's blood glow — 

 I long to be on Broadway, where the orchids 



srow.

£. H. Sunbury, ofiWamesit, Massa-

■'The Skinner System of Irri- 

 gation is the simplest and easiest 

 to install, as well as the most 

 practical I have ever heard of."

 Wlieaton, Illinois, writes: 



"The Skinner System can be 

 put up by any tiandy man."

A Glazing Putty 

 of Real Value 



In all our experience and investigation 

 we had never found a preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a greenhouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, until we ran 

 across PERMANITE. This was about 

 four years ago . At that time we set about 

 investigating the merits of PERMANITE 

 and proceeded to watch the results of its 

 application to greenhouse roofs. 



Last year we were entirely convinced 

 of its high quality and durability, and ac- 

 cepted the western agency for the sale of 

 these goods. 



We applied PERMANITE to hundreds 

 of greenhouse roofs, over almost every 

 part of the United States. 



The results obtained were highly satis- 

 factory indeed. Glass roofs of all kinds, 

 both old and new, were made water-tight 

 and air-tight, saving thousands of plants 

 from being spoiled by water dripping on 

 them and saving many hundreds of tons of 

 coal by making the roofs proof against 

 the wind and storms of winter. 



We give PERMANITE our unqualified 

 endorsement and recommend it highly for 

 all kinds of glazing. 



We have a very large stock on hand 

 in our warehouse and can ship imme- 

 diately.
