porters had their hands full. Delay, At- 

 lantic City, Belmont Mansion, all com- 

 bined, were formidable. Finally, by a 

 vote of twenty-four to twenty-three, the 

 president casting the deciding vote, the 

 committee was sustained and Wildwood 

 emerged victor. 



Three days later the entertainment 

 committee went down to Wildwood and 

 was much pleased with the place. Charles 

 D. Ball says it is an ideal spot for the 

 convention's outing. 



On the Street. 



It was asserted on the street early this 

 week that the famous club vote of 24 to 

 23, by which confidence was shown and 

 absolute power vested in the executive 

 committee, would not mean Wildwood, as 

 the facts indicate. It was said that 

 Thursday 's meeting of the executive com- 

 mittee would see the whole question re- 



opened, with a dark horse in the field 

 striving to capture the honor of enter- 

 taining the convention. In support of 

 this statement it was added that three 

 prominent members of the committee had 

 skipped out of town last Saturday after- 

 noon. Their destination, it was learned, 

 was historic "VaUey Forge. It was fur- 

 ther learned that they were much im- 

 pressed and intended to push the dark 

 horse. The supporters of Wildwood are, 

 however, going to the meeting with con- 

 fidence that the choice so carefully made 

 will remain unchanged. 



A Pleating Novelty. 



Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., is showing a prepared adiantum 

 which his firm is distributing. While 

 not absolutely new, this adiantum is as 

 yet but little known. It is said to be the 

 natural frond preserved by an electric 



process, rendering it durable. The fronds 

 are made up in bunches and look as 

 though just picked. 



Various Notes. 



The invitation of the Henry A. Dreer 

 Co. to visit Riverton has been accepted 

 for the S. A. F. convention, by the en- 

 tertainment committee. The plan is to 

 take the delegates by steamer up the Del- 

 aware to Bristol and back to Riverton, 

 where the famous Dreer nurseries will be 

 visited. The ladies' committee proposes 

 to take the ladies, who attend the con- 

 vention next month, to Willow Grove 

 park. ^J^ 



H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayersdorfer 

 have returned from Europe. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is 

 nicely established in its temporary quar- 

 ters at 1502 Sansom street. 



M. Rice says he is literally submerged 

 by the tide of imports pouring in upon 

 him. 



George Burton has his new range 

 planted with American Beauties.- 



J. Stern & Co. will enlarge and re- 

 model their store before the S. A. F. con- 

 vention. They are receiving importations 

 on two steamers this week. 



Pennock Bros, have an elk horn fern 

 in their window in honor of the Elks, 

 who will be here next week. 



I must stop — it is 11 o'clock!

FORT SMITH, ARK. 



At the Belle Point hospital the first 

 part of last week, A. A. Pantet sub- 

 mitted to an operation which is likely 

 to give him at least partial relief from 

 sufifering which he has endured for years. 



Three years ago, while Mr. Pantet was 

 working in one of his greenhouses, he 

 fell over a pile of flower pots, and one 

 of his knees received an injury, which 

 at the time was not considered serious, 

 but which later caused him much pain 

 and inconvenience. In the operation at 

 the hospital, three pieces of flower pot 

 clay were removed from his knee-cap. 

 Though he was on the operating table 

 for two hours and a half, no chloroform 

 or ether was administered. Mr. Pantet 

 is already able to attend to business, 

 though he cannot yet walk without the 

 aid of a crutch.
