 and gladioli were used. The flowers 

 were renewed on Thursday. This store 

 formerly used artificial flowers, but now 

 prefers natural. 



The Next Meeting. 



Arrangements have been made for 

 the next meeting of the Florists' Club 

 to be held Tuesday evening, October 5, 

 at the City Club, on the east side of 

 Broad street, below Spruce. The 

 thange is due to the advance in rates 

 at the Hotel Adelphia. 



The City Club has offered the Flo- 

 rists' Club a fine room in the third 

 story that will seat 250 persons. If 

 the arrangement is approved it will be 

 continued throughout the winter. There 

 is an elevator. 



The speaker of the evening will be 

 Professor Weigel, of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture, Washing- 

 ton, D. C. 



The annual election of officers will 

 be held. 



East and West. 



Carpet bed planting, once so famous 

 in Fairmount park, has almost dis- 

 appeared. The sole reminder lies in 

 the edging of the wonderful cactus beds, 

 where echeverias and altemantheras 

 still flourish. All the rest of the east 

 sad of Horticultural hall is changed.

The bank where for so many summers 

 the figures of the centennial year 1876 

 and of the current year were painstak- 

 ingly laid out with thousands of tiny 

 plants on each side of the broad steps, 

 is now in Scotch firs, while the dozen or 

 more beds in the circle opposite are laid 

 out in cannas, a single variety to each 

 bed, with sometimes an edge of achy- 

 ranthes. The cannas have done wonder- 

 fully well this summer. They present 

 a glorious mass of color of surpassing 

 brilliancy. 



The changes in the wsst end are even 

 more radical than are those in the east 

 end. The west end is the home of the 

 parterre, or sunken garden. The key- 

 note or leading idea of this sunken gar- 

 den was a series of graceful festoons on 

 the sides to set off a rich, somewhat 

 heavy mass in the center, the whole laid 

 out in turf of velvet. Now the center 

 is a lily pond, styled by its friends a 

 canal. The sides are a tropical jungle. 

 Oh, yes, it has merit, undoubted merit, 

 of the kind that resembles the beauty 

 of the fife and the drum and the bagpipe 

 — wild and discordant in their beauty. 

 What does it look like? It is at its best

now in the early morning, when the 

 lilies are in bloom in the long sheet of 

 water, the sides bordered by color and 

 form in variety so great as to baffle de- 

 scription, a riot of shapes and shades 

 that attract while they exasperate by 

 their clash and discord. 



Southampton. 



My friends poke a lot of quiet fun be- 

 cause of the regular trips to Southamp- 

 ton when there are so many other inter- 

 esting places to see. Apart from friend- 

 ship and interest in the grower, the 

 reason lies in the fact that the place at 

 Southampton represents a steady growth 

 entirely within the business, achieved 

 by a leader and his associates without 

 the aid of outside ability or outside cap-
