son is carrying out the aim of his 

 father, 



Hitchings & Co., the builders, plan 

 completing this greenhouse by Septem- 

 ber 15. It is 70x600 feet, the same 

 length as the others, but two feet nar- 

 rower. It is even-span, with top and 

 side ventilation. It will house some- 

 thing like 22,000 rose plants. The idea 

 in building in summer is to utilize the 

 fall and winter months for the concrete 

 work and to plant early in the spring. 

 One-half of the house will be run this 

 winter in order to grow the young stock. 



James W. Heacock, president of the 

 Joseph Heacock Co., said that the varie- 

 ties to be planted in the new house had 

 not yet been determined. He added 

 that while in Detroit he had placed an 

 order with Wallace R. Pierson for 5,000 

 Crusader and 5,000 Pilgrim. 



The Scarcity of Caxnation Plants. 



It was anticipated early in the sea- 

 son that carnation plants would be 

 scarce, but nothing like the shortage 

 now existing has ever been experienced 

 here. Many carnation growers do not 

 propagate themselves, preferring to de- 

 pend on others for their stock each 

 year. These growers are having a hard 

 time getting young plants. One dealer 

 alone said that he could have sold a 

 half million more plants if he could 

 have got them. A number of explana- 

 tions are offered for this shortage — the 

 low prices formerly paid for young 

 stock, the fuel shortage, the labor short- 

 age, and so on. While the carnation 

 growers who raised their own plants 

 are, generally speaking, well provided 

 with good plants, it is estimated that 

 the number of carnations benched this 

 season will be smaller than the number 

 benched one year ago. 



An 84-Day Season. 



With a real social season almost as- 

 sured, a glance at the calendar is worth 

 while. The debutante teas will start 

 social activity in October and continue

through November. The season proper 

 begins on Thanksgiving day, which 

 falls this year on November 27, the last 

 Thursday in the month. Thursday will 

 also be the day of the week on which 

 Christmas and New Year come. St. 

 Valentine's day comes on Saturday, 

 February 14, 1920, while Lent com- 

 mences four days later. Nobody minds 

 Lent much now, but it is curious to 

 note that, owing to leap year, February 

 will have five Sundays. Easter Sunday 

 will be April 4. Memorial day will also 

 come on a Sunday, so it will be trans- 

 ferred to Monday, May 31, in all likeli- 

 hood.

 29. After a short vacation spent with 

 his family in Boston, he will commence

 twenty-five years with Johnson & Stokes

 motor boat triumph on the lower Dela-

Alfred Campbell has his places at 

 Strafford and at Hatboro in the pink of 

 condition for the coming season. 



A bad fire occurred August 23 at John 

 Westcott's farm, Waretown, N. J., re- 

 sulting in the loss of the cow and horse 

 stables, the barn, the wagon sheds and 

 other outbuildings and their contents.
