John Burton's New Place. 

 The most progressive florists' paper 

 takes pleasure in giving its readers a 

 brief description vi John Burton '5 new 

 place at Wyndmoor, ' on the Lonsdale 

 property purchased a little over a year 

 ago. There are six houses, five just 

 completed, all in one range, the sixth 

 remaining from the old place. The five 

 houses run as before stated, 16 degrees 

 east of northeast, are about fifteen feet 

 high at the ridge and seven at the sides, 

 with an angle of between 33 and 34 de- 

 grees. They are about 275 feet long and 

 taken all together about 102 feet wide. 

 The new range contains fifteen ground 

 beds anil the older house three benches. 

 Of these six houses, four are plant- 

 ed with 10,000 American Beauty roses 

 and two with 5,800 Liberties. The houses 

 are light and strongly built. They 

 have side glass and walks around the 

 outside. The leveling and staking is 

 being done and the boilers are being 

 set. Mr. Burton, his son and em- 

 ployes are to be congratulated on the 



result of their hard work during the last 

 few months. The Flower Market will 

 distribute the entire product of this 

 place. 



Various Notes. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has received 

 its first importation of Lilium Harrisii 

 in fine shape. Their freesia and Cali- 

 fornia calla lily bulbs are also particu- 

 larly good this season. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. say that this 

 has been the best summer in the history 

 of their large florists* supply business. 



F. H. Kiegelmeier, formerly with Rob- 

 ert Crawford, Jr., now with A. W. Smith, 

 of Pittsburg, has been visiting many 

 of his old friends in this city. 



Wm. R. Smith, of Washington, D. C, 

 was here last week, before sailing for a 

 short visit to bonnie Scotland. 



M. Bice & Co. are looking forward with 

 pleasure to showing their new home to 

 their friends who pass through this city 

 next month. 



Robert Craig spent a few days this 

 week with Commodore Westcott at Ware- 

 town, N. J. 



A. B. Cartledge is expected back from 

 his yachting trip on Saturday. 



Pennock Brothers had some very hand- 

 some orders for a funeral at Torresdale 

 on Monday. 



The Flower Market is handling some 

 exceptionally nice Liberties. You can't 

 make them tell who grew them. 



D. T. Connor has received an order 

 to erect a greenhouse on top of a coal 

 mine in Minersville, Pa. No one doubts 

 that he will do it. 



Paul Richter, the popular manager of 

 the H. F. Michell Co., will spend his va- 

 cation at Betterton, Md. It is nearly 

 as hard to get Mr. Richter to take a 

 vacation as it is to get H. F. M. him- 

 self. 



Wm. J. Baker is handling some nice 

 white roses and carnations in assorted 

 colors. I know this is true, for the 

 junior partner says so. 



The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving a 

 splendid lot of asters in all colors. 



Samuel S. Pennock is handling high 

 grade Kaiserius and valley, also a few 

 orchids. 



Edward Reid has nothing to say about 

 what he is handling, from which you may 

 infer he has some hurry-up orders. 



Edwin Lonsdale will treat the Florists ' 

 Club to a little historical sketch next 

 Tuesday. 



Joseph Heacock has gone to Boston 

 by sea for a short rest. 



Now that George Kausch has returned 

 from his vacation, Henry Bauer will be 

 off • for his holiday. 



Henry Small, of J. H. Small & Sons, 

 was in this city last week. 



George Burton, the renowned rose 

 grower, received the congratulations of 

 his friends last Monday on the arrival 

 of two little boys. Mother and sons are 

 doing well. 



Thaddeus N. Yates & Co. are tearing 

 down and rebuilding one of their houses 

 and putting in additional heating sur- 

 face. Lilium Harrisii, their specialty 

 last winter, will be more largely forced 

 than ever this season. 



August Corts & Son, of Wyncote, have 

 a popular thing in their stake fastener. 

 It is a labor saver. Phil. 



Savona, N. Y. — F. E. Youmans has 

 gone out of business. 



Davenport, Ia. — Forber & Bird arc 

 putting up a large house for carnations, 

 the increase in business necessitating 

 larger supply. 



Wichita, Kax.— On July 22 fire did 

 $500 damage at the greenhouses of D. S. 

 Hersey, being caused by the explosion 

 of a gasoline stove.
