Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held at the Adelphia Tuesday 

 . (ivcning, April 4. 



There were many ladies in the large 

 gathering to hear Charles Henry Fox 

 give an analysis of the flower business. 

 He divided his subject into three parts: 

 Impression, sentiment and sympathy. 

 He gave beautiful illustrations, making 

 the pillow basket and other master- 

 pieces. Mark P. Mills enlivened the 

 proceeding by singing "The Old Gray 

 Mare." 



There were exhibits of choice Easter 

 plants by Godfrey Aschmann, Emil H. 

 Gcschick, William K. Harris and 

 Macaw Bros. The M. Kice Co. made its 

 debut as exhibitors with handsome 

 home-made baskets arranged by Charles 

 K. Shackcrman. 



A Labor Saver. 



Visitors to the business show in the 

 commercial museum were given an op- 

 portunity to witness the Pitney-Bowes 

 postal meter machine in operation. This 

 machino seals, stamps and cancels 200 

 envelo])cs a minute. From the business 

 show in the commercial museum the 

 machine was taken to the office of the 

 Henry F. Michell Co., where it is now 

 in operation. When seen there last 

 week the meter, wliicii was set for 10,- 

 UOO stanijjs, had registered over 4,000. 



The postofiice requirement is that the 

 date shall be stamped one hour in ad- 

 vance of delivery there. The machine 

 not only saves time and work to the 

 Henry F. Michell Co., but also to the 

 postal authorities as well. This is be- 

 lieved to be the first postal meter ma- 

 chine to be put into operation by a seed 

 house in this country. 



Philadelphia at Indianapolis. 



It is a pleasure to be able to say that 

 Philadelphia helped to make the great 

 show at Indianapolis last week. The 

 tact that it was the first national flower 

 sliow since the war, under the leadership 

 of a Philadelphia executive, made co- 

 operation imperative. The distance and 

 perishable nature of the stock were ob- 

 stacles to be overcome. That they were 

 successfully overcome adds to the credit 

 of the achievement.

 her.

Eastern Grower — Yes, but she is sub- 

 stantial.
