for the medium grades often could not 

 be filled, only specials being available. 

 Orchids have been reenforced by some 

 exceptionally fine Cattleya gigas that 

 have brought record prices. Valley has 

 been steady. Shipping orders have been 

 heavy. There are gladioli, both from 

 nearby greenhouses and from the fields 

 of the sunny south. 



The Stormy Petrel. 



Miss Jarvis made her annual appear- 

 ance in the wholesale center May 28. 

 She demanded certain material free of 

 charge. When politely told that this 

 could not be done, she said that she was 

 Miss Jarvis, the originator of Mothers' 

 day. When told that would not make 

 any difference, she became abusive and 

 said the florists were robbers and that 

 they owed her much. Miss Jarvis was 

 then asked to leave. 



Club Meeting. 



Professor E. J. Wilde, of the Penn- 

 sylvania State College, spoke before the 

 Florists' Club, at the City Club, Tues- 

 day evening, June 7. Professor Wilde 

 wished to interest the florists in the 

 work that the state college is doing 

 for horticulture, partly with the aim of 

 securing a better understanding be- 

 tween the commercial and the educa- 

 tional sides of floriculture and partly 

 with the hope of securing horticultural 

 scholarships for the college.

visited Pennock Bros, to see floral work 

 •in the making. Tuesday afternoon was 

 spent in the plant factory of the Robert 

 Craig Co., at Norwood. In the evening 

 President Campbell gathered a score of 

 members to dine with the distinguished 

 visitor. 



In his address before the club Pro- 

 fessor Wilde laid stress on the impor- 

 tance of cooperation between the flo- 

 rists and the students. He said State 

 College prepared its graduates to take 

 up practical work, that they were fitted 

 for responsibility and should be given 

 a chance. He said that florists should 

 bring their troubles to the State Col- 

 lege where every effort would be made 



to aid in solving them. He asked that 

 each florist use his influence to secure 

 better equipment for the college. 



Robert Craig followed Professor 

 Wilde with a talk from the commercial 

 side. He thought that a short course 

 in horticulture at State College would 

 be of benefit to all those who wish to 

 master their profession.
