There was an interesting little scene 

 in front of the store of the Philadelphia 

 Cut Flower Co. about 3 o'clock Satur- 

 day afternoon, May 6, when some of 

 our alert business men, George Aeugle, 

 John Berger and Alfred M. Campbell, 

 were discussing the effect of the alli- 

 ance between the American Legion and 

 the florists on Mothers' day. They 

 thought it would be a great thing. 



The wild flower meeting of the Ger- 

 mantown Horticultural Society was

The Market. 



This market was exceedingly quiet 

 last week. Weather conditions were 

 good, bringing in stock from every cor- 

 ner, both indoor and outdoor. 



Gladioli have made their first appear- 

 ance, some arriving from the south and 

 others being home-grown. The home- 

 grown ones, of course, are far superior 

 to the southern ones and bring $12.50 

 per hundred, while the others can be had 

 at $6 to $8 per hundred. 



Roses are slowing up slightly, but 

 there are plenty to supply all needs. 

 Carnations hold their own and clean up 

 a trifle better than any other flower. 

 They are selling at $4 to $5 per hundred. 



Sweet peas have seen better days, and 

 there are only enough sold to supply the 

 trade daily. Conscquentlv, many are 

 loft in the wholesale houses when the 

 day is done. Snapdragons show the

■NOTICE" 



About four years ago a notice appeared 

 in the trade papers that the gardener, 

 Paul Albert Thiele, about 54 years old, 

 had been killed by some railroad in the 

 middle west. I appeal to anyone who 

 knows about this accident to inform me 

 when and where this occurred.
