not have to place his order six months 

 ahead. He simply looks over his houses 

 today, decides to shift a certain block 

 of plants, and sends his order to Whar- 

 ton street or to Norristown, as the case 

 >nay be, confident that he will receive 

 the desired size with dispatch. 



Am I not right in thinking that the 

 pottery industry has been hidden like the 

 light under a bushel? That much credit 

 is due makers who promptly deliver big 

 orders within a radius of sometliing like 

 ten miles, or as promptly ship equally 

 big orders with safety to more distant 

 points. 



Variou* Notes. 



Edwin Lonsdale read a good paper on 

 the club's history from 1885 to 1895 be- 

 fore the August meeting of the Florists' 

 Club. It will be printed witli the by- 

 laws. 



Oglesby B. Paul, landscape gardener 



at Fairmount park, will address the con- 

 vention of the S. A. F. next Thursday 

 evening on ' ' The ideal country home for 

 the man with a long head and a short 

 purse." 



Edward Reid is receiving fine Beauties, 

 asters and valley. 



Joseph Ileacock is experiencing an en- 

 couraging demand for his fine kentias. 

 The large sizes are especial favorites 

 with the buyers who are quick to recog- 

 nize extra fine specimens. 



Samuel S. Pennock is going to the 

 convention. 



J. N. King, the well-known florist of 

 Norristown, is now coroner of Montgom- 

 ery county. 



Charles E. Meehan is going to the con- 

 vention. 



A meeting of the creditors of Joseph 

 Ivift & Son was held on Monday at 1410 

 South Penn square. No settlement could 



be reached. A sale in bankruptcy was 

 ordered for August 22. It is possible 

 that a settlement may be effected before 

 that time. 



The riower Market did an excep- 

 tionally good July business, the sales for 

 that month more than equaling those of 

 July and August, 1904, combined. 



The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving fine 

 Sunrise roses from Myers & Samtman. 



Fred J. Michell is going to the con- 

 vention. 



Eugene Bernheimer is receiving some 

 outdoor grown carnations. 



M. Rice & Co. 's new catalogue is out. 

 The cover is beautifully designed and 

 rich in color. The novelties are described 

 in the opening pages, the staples and 

 standard supplies being further back. All 

 are clearly illustrated. Among the for- 

 mer are lantern globes of silk fiber in 

 colors and rose bowls of the same ma- 

 terial with enameled pans inside. 



Leo Niessen is going to Washington. 



Herbert G. Tull is enjoying the cool 

 breezes of Eaglesmere. 



Paul Berkowitz is going to Washing- 

 ton. 



The annual report of the Flower Mar- 

 ket for the year ending June 30 is ex- 

 cellent. The stall rents will be advanced 

 from $60 to $75 a year in October. 



The Summer Florist. 



By an Unknown. 

 I'nder .n shady hill they sat: 

 Ho held her hand, she held his hnt; 

 1 held my breath and lay quite flat. 



They kissed— I saw them do It! 

 lie held that kissing was no crime; 

 She held her head up erery time; 

 1 held my peace, and wrote this rhyme. 



They never knew I knew It. 



PHIL. 



At a recent meeting of the Florists' 

 club of Philadelphia, it was on motion 

 decided to invite all members of the S. 

 A. F. on their way to the convention 

 to be held at Washington. D. C, who can 

 conveniently do so, to stop off at Phila- 

 delphia and call at the club rooms,
