place to another and back again ap- 

 prove of this display? Or would he 

 prefer greater simplicity f Probably 

 not. The greatest men are but mor- 

 tal and love of admiration is a most 

 liuman trait. 



Outside the bedding was arranged in 

 red, while and blue for temporary ef- 

 fect, until it is warm enough to give 

 the crotons their summer quarters. It 

 ■was pretty, if only transient, giving a 

 bit of color most pleasing to the whole. 

 Charles W. Cox promises that when the 

 beds are in their glory they wrill be 

 something even better than in the past, 

 excellent as that has been. 



A New Club. 



It may interest our retailers to know 

 that just two days before the flower 

 market held in Bittenhouse square May 

 20, or, to be exact, May 18, a club of 

 society ladies was formed with the

avowed object of beautifying their gar- 

 dens, yards, window ledges or what 

 not. The club, which is growing rap- 

 idly, may be called Yards and Yards 

 and it may not. Anyone who has a 

 flower pot with a plant in it, and who 

 loves that plant and pot, can join. The 

 members will aim to make what ground 

 they have prettier, or their windows, or 

 something. They will meet to see what 

 each one has done and to tell how 

 they did it. Here is the field for the 

 retailers to cultivate. 



Various Notes. 



The credit list, or rather the discredit 

 list, was worked over at last week's 

 meeting of the Retail Florists' Associa- 

 tion. It is good news to learn that this 

 body will actively support the national 

 show in 1916. 



John L. Ratcliffe, of Richmond, Va.; 

 Will H. Behder and Mrs. Rehder, of 



Wilmington, N. C; Lester Graham, of 

 Warren, Pa.; W. F. Gude and A. Gude, 

 of Washington, D. C, and the Mal- 

 andre brothers, of New York city, were 

 recent visitors. 



Mrs. Fred Ehret returned May 28 

 from a three days* trip to Niagara 

 Falls and Buffalo. 



Alfred M. Campbell acted as god- 

 father for Britton H. Miller May 24. 



The Joseph Heacock Co. is glazing 

 the new house at Roelofs, which will be 

 planted with Radiance and Lady Hil- 

 lingdon roses. 



E. A. Pettit is pleased with the suc- 

 cess of his corps of boys, which he pro- 

 poses increasing next season. 



J. J. Habermehl's Sons had forty or- 

 ders, some of them large, for a sad 

 occasion May 25. Next week and the 

 week after will be busy ones with 

 them.
