this new well rose to within six feet 

 of the surface, rendering a deep well 

 pump unnecessary. Its capacity is over 

 200 gallons a minute, which makes it 

 unlikely that it will be lowered by any 

 amount of pumping. Next came the 

 ice-making machine, a cold storage plant 

 with its complicated mechanism and 

 coils of ammonia-filled pipes. This im- 

 provement, with its mammoth ice-box, 

 has just replaced the old refrigerator 

 cooled by natural ice. The new box is 

 20x8x12. It is lined with cork and 

 faced inside with concrete. As yet 

 there are no shelves. Robert Jamison, 

 who manages Roelofs, says that the 

 advantage of cold storage over ice is 

 that you can take flowers out in the 

 same stage in which you put them in, 

 which is impossible with ice when the 

 weather is warm. Next came the dy- 

 namo, to furnish power for the ice- 

 making machine. Two 150 horse-power 



horizontal return tubular boilers are be- 

 ing installed to aid the two 100 horse- 

 power boilers that have furnished the 

 steam until now. It is a magnificent 

 array of modern greenhouse machinery. 



The two 600-foot houses will show 

 some slight changes next season. Lady 

 Hillingdon, Mrs. Aaron Ward and Eadi- 

 ance have done so well that they have 

 been increased to double their number. 

 White Killarney has been cut down to 

 make room for them; Killarney, too, 

 just a little. Richmond remains the 

 same. This still leaves Killarney as 

 the important rose of the place, in num- 

 bers equal or nearly so to all the others 

 together. White Killarney comes next, 

 then Richmond, then Radiance, which 

 looks extremely well now; then the yel- 

 low and the copper. 



Time forbade a visit to the dairy, 

 where further improvements are being 

 completed. The dairy supplies all the 



fertilizer used in the greenhouses and 

 all the milk used in Girard College. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Henry Fox moved four doors 

 south, from 215 to 223 South Broad 

 street, June 25. This move is made 

 necessary by the expansion of the Ritz- 

 Carlton hotel. Mr. Fox will occupy 223 

 during July and August, while he is 

 putting his new store at 221 South 

 Broad street into shape for the fall. 

 Mr. Fox plans that the exterior will 

 resemble his old store in every respect, 

 while the interior will show many im- 

 provements. 



The sweet pea exhibition of the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was 

 held in Horticultural hall June 26. 



Martin Samtman, member of the firm 

 of Myers & Samtman, sailed from New 

 York on the steamer Lapland, June 28, 

 for Antwerp. Mr. Samtman goes to
