Current Events. 



Everybody who went to the store of 

 Henry A. Dreer, Inc., to see Herbert 

 G. Tull, George D. Clark or Charles H. 

 McKubbin has been politely told that 

 there are no accommodations for visi- 

 tors upstairs, so that the name must 

 be sent up and the official desired must 

 be brought down. At least, this has 

 been the case in thie past. Now all 

 is changed; things are not as they used 

 to be. The acquisition of the build- 

 ing all 716 Chestnut street has again 

 borne fruit. The lower floor has been 

 in use for a long time, but the upper 

 floor has only recently been acquired 



through the departure of a tenant. This 

 g^ves a great field for office expansion 

 that has been turned to excellent ac- 

 count. It will be hard to find more 

 perfect appointments than the house 

 of Dreer now has on the second floor 

 of these two buildings thrown into one 

 for its offices. The space, the arrange- 

 ments and, above all, the light, are 

 worthy of the highest praise. A side 

 entrance and private stairway admit 

 the visitor with passport to the second 

 floor without passing through the store, 

 where all will be found to more than 

 merit this eulogium. A great improve- 

 ment, on which the house is to be 

 congratulated! 



Greenhouse Building. 



Last week William J. Muth, the en- 

 terprising representative in this terri- 

 tory of the King Construction Co., 

 wired from North Tonawanda, N. Y., 

 that he had closed the Michell con- 

 tract for completion this fall. These 

 improvements will consist of the erec- 

 tion of three pipe-frame greenhouses, 

 each 22x125 feet, and one connecting 



passageway greenhouse 22x143 feet. 

 The addition of these houses will in- 

 crease the glass area at Andalusia by 

 approximately 20,000 square feet. There 

 will also be erected a new fireproof 

 boiler house 22x43 feet. A new sys- 

 tem of heating will be installed 

 throughout the range. 



H. A. Dreer, Inc., has contracted 

 for the material and erection of four 

 new greenhouses at Riverton. Three 

 of these houses are to be 12x100 feet, 

 and one house to be 22x150 feet. 



Dingee & Conard Co., West Grove, 

 Pa., has ordered two houses, each 

 30x150 feet. Harry E. Cooper, West 

 Grove, Pa., will build a pipe-rafter 

 greenhouse 50x150 feet. Leonard H. 

 Dudman, Manoa, Pa., will build two 

 connected greenhouses, each 25x125 

 feet, and install a new boiler. Frank 

 Jackson, Sellersville, Pa., will add a 

 house 28x120 feet. 



Various Notes. 



Robert Pyle, president of the Conard 

 & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., will ad- 

 dress the Florists' Club September 7,
