ing the return of our delegates from 

 Chicago, March 3, that culminated in 

 a meeting at City hall March 13. Those 

 present were, on the one hand, Eudolph 

 Blankenburg, mayor, and Maurice L. 

 Cooke, director of public works, repre- 

 senting the city of Philadelphia, and 

 on the other W. Atlee Burpee, Robert 

 Craig, D. C. Donohue, Adolph Faren- 

 wald, John C. Gracey, Charles E. Mee- 

 han, Arthur A. Niessen, Samuel S. Pen- 

 nock and William Wunder, representing 

 the florists of Philadelphia. 



Mr. Donohue, acting as spokesman 

 and legal adviser for the applicants, 

 asked that the Tabernacle be leased for 

 the national flower show to be held in 

 this city one year hence. Mr. Donohue 

 ably depicted the advantages that 

 would accrue to the city were such a 

 show held here and the increased 

 chances of success were it held in the 

 Tabernacle. The mayor kindly but 

 positively declined the proposal. He 

 said that it was unlawful to erect a 

 frame building within the brick dis- 

 trict, that it encroached on the side- 

 walk and that it was on city property. 



The act under which the Tabernacle 

 was built in direct violation of the law 

 was passed by councils with the dis- 

 tinct understanding that the Taber- 

 nacle was to be pulled down as soon 

 as the revival meetings were over. 

 This the mayor said must be carried 

 out in good faith. The committee 

 thought they would have had a chance 

 had the show been scheduled for this 

 spring, but as it is still a year off the 

 case is hopeless. 



The national flower show will there- 

 fore be held as originally arranged, in 

 Convention hall, Broad street and Alle- 

 gheny avenue, in March, 1916. 



West Philadelphia. 



At his firm's greenhouses David Col- 

 flesh displayed as pretty a lot of Easter 

 plants as one would wish to see. The 

 varieties were specialties rather than 

 a general assortment; well selected spe- 

 cialties, nicely grown. There were 

 Nephrolepis Giatrasii, dwarf and 

 shapely; Lilium multiflorum, in plenty 

 of time; Azalea Mme. Vander Cruys- 

 sen, well set; genistas that pleased me 



greatly, spira;as and daisies. The bal- 

 ance of the place is filled with flower- 

 ing bulbs and ever so many spring 

 plants that await a shift after the 

 Fateful Fourth. You know the Glori- 

 ous Fourth, so you will guess the Fate- 

 ful Fourth. 



The Aschmann Brothers. 



It is a pleasure to see well grown 

 stock in quantity and houses entirely 

 filled with a single crop, just timed for 

 our greatest flower holiday, are an espe- 

 cial pleasure. You can judge of the 

 ability and faithful care of a grower 

 easily now. When everything seems 

 to come right of itself, without an ef- 

 fort, then you know there has been 

 some hustling, mental and physical. 

 That is the way it looks out at Second 

 and Bristol streets, where hustle the 

 Aschmann brothers. They have a 

 splendid lot of lilies, clean and healthy, 

 well set with buds, and an equally fine 

 lot of azaleas in five leading varieties, 

 with a sprinkling of rarer kinds. Of 

 the azaleas the white, Niobe, is carried 

 over with excellent results. The others,
