BEAUTIES 



Sunshine with its life-giving qualities will do wonders 

 for every living thing, and that is what it is doing for 

 American Beauties— bringing them back to more prolific- 

 ness and better quality. Orders of any size can now be taken care of; 

 splendid quality.

the hardy herbaceous class, both annual, 

 biennial and perennial.) It requires no 

 small amount of skill and care to keep 

 up a limited stock of plants quite as im- 

 portant to many florists in a small way 

 as the every-day commercial plants are 

 to them in a large way. Of these every- 

 day commercial plants the stock becomes 

 larger as the market expands. The im- 

 pression created by a glance over the 

 houses devoted to them is that it is not 

 necessary for us to worry about the sup- 

 ply of palms from Belgium being cut 

 oflf. There are enough right here at 

 home to supply our probable wants, for 

 the present at least. Take large ken- 

 tias, for instance; there is a splendid 

 stock of fine specimens good enough to 

 use anywhere. This is merely an ex- 

 ample. The medium and small sizes are 

 well represented. The policy of limit- 

 ing the Boston fern family to three 

 representatives in the houses is being 

 adhered to with success. It simplifies 

 matters, and, while there are disad- 

 vantages, they are not to be considered 

 when comparing them with the advan- 

 tages. 



' Pandanus Veitchii is unusually well 

 colored and well grown in abundance. 

 This good old standard among varie- 

 gated foliage plants deservedly retains 

 its place in the front. It is encouraging 



to see that means have been found to 

 prevent the usual spring scarcity that 

 has nearly always occurred. 



Flowers at the Tabernacle. 



Every Philadelphian who leaves home 

 is asked about the revival meetings 

 now being conducted by the Reverend 

 Billy Sunday. It may be that this in- 

 terest warrants a brief description of 

 the scene there on the evening of Feb- 

 ruary 18, when the flower growers of 

 Philadelphia visited the Tabernacle in 

 a body. All arrangements had been 

 made by the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., 

 who had seats reserved for 200, a wise 

 precaution, for on this, the forty- 

 seventh night of the services, every seat 

 was occupied, all standing room behind 

 was used and many were turned away. 

 The party, all wearing badges, crossed 

 Logan Square in a body and were soon 

 ushered to their places by William Gra- 

 ham, aided by the P.-M. leaders. The 

 sight inside was impressive, an im- 

 mense building completely filled by 

 earnest-looking men in all walks of life. 

 The atmosphere, while serious in the 

 main, was by no means restrained dur- 

 ing the preliminaries, and at the close 

 talking and laughing seeming quite nat- 

 ural. During the sermon the closest 

 attention was given. The choir-master
