 ing over the fields of dahlias, cannas 

 and perennials. Those who are fortunate 

 enonj^h to' have the chief or one of his 

 lieutenants, as a guide are having a 

 treat»^^f^e names, the history, the 

 mjeirits of this "or that variety, its hab-

 They denote close study, intelligent 

 thought and an ability to reason 

 clearly. 



The outdoor ramble is undoubtedly 

 the treat of the show. It affords op- 

 portunity for successfully sowing the 

 seed of love of floriculture in the heart 

 of many an amateur. 



The show will continue until Satur- 

 day evening, October 2. With the per- 

 fect weather of the opening day, a 

 large attendance all through the week 

 seems assured. 



Various Notes. 



L. K. Peacock, of Berlin, N. J., will 

 speak on dahlias before the Florists' 

 Club, October 5. 



The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. is 

 receiving fine Ophelia, Hadley and 

 Crimson Queen roses. 



It is with deep regret that the local 

 florists hear of the death of Mrs. 

 Krueger, mother of the late Charles F. 

 Krueger, which occurred September 27. 



Fred Berger has returned from Sea- 

 side Park to the store of William Ber- 

 ger Sons, at Germantown.
