growers. The Dropmore variety of 

 Anchusa Italics is worthy of special 

 mention. 



The entire place shows that, despite 

 the late season and heavy business, both 

 serious obstacles, the annual cleaning 

 up, set for the Fourth of July, was ac- 

 complished this year as usual. There 

 is no question that our convention visit- 

 ors who come to Riverton next month 

 •will enjoy a treat well worth coming 

 miles to see. 



The G>nvention Program. 



The meeting of the finance and exec- 

 utive committees, held July 11, proved 

 extremely lively. That of the first 

 named committee over, the executive 

 took the floor, and reopened the ques- 

 tion of Friday's entertainment. It was 

 immediately apparent that the oppo- 

 nents of Wildwood had mustered their 



full strength, while the Wildwood ma- 

 jority of the week before were unpre- 

 pared. Some changed their votes, many 

 were away. A vote to reconsider was 

 promptly passed, and after a lively de- 

 bate, a vote to substitute Belmont Man- 

 sion in Fairmount park for Wildwood 

 was passed 2 to 1. Unfortunately sev- 

 eral of the most prominent members of 

 the committee who -had supported Wild- 

 wood, felt that they could not consist- 

 ently work for Belmont Mansion, and 

 therefore resigned their places. The 

 program of entertainment as now made 

 up is as follows: Tuesday, August 20, 

 president's reception, 8 p. m. ; Wednes- 

 day, August 21, excursion to Henry A. 

 Dreer Co., Riverton, N. J., and shooting 

 tournament at Wissanoming, both in 

 the afternoon; Thursday, August 22, 

 ladies' outing, Willow Grove, in the 

 afternoon, and bowling tournament; 



Friday, August 23, excursion to Bel- 

 mont Mansion in Fairmount park. No 

 effort will be spared to make these en- 

 tertainments pleasant to our gfuests.

 large delegation on Monday evening. 

 Lloyd G. Blick, of Norfolk, Va., when 

 seen at Edward Reid's expressed his 

 pleasure at the royal welcome given to 

 his order by Philadelphia. 



George S. Strohlein and family sailed 

 July 11 on the Barbarossa for Europe. 

 Mr. Strohlein will look over the azalea 

 fields of Belgium, while Mrs. Strohlein 

 is visiting her mother. 



B. Eschner has purchased a handsome 

 residence at Elkins Park, on the Phila- 

 delphia & Reading. This is one of the 

 prettiest of our suburbs. Mr. Eschner, 

 who has just moved his family to their 

 new home, is much delighted with his 

 surroundings. 



The judges for the Craig competition 

 of three plants of Nephrolepis Amer- 

 pohlii to be shown at the August meet- 

 ing of the Florists' Club are Robert 

 Kift, Edwin Lonsdale, George Bedles, 

 James T. Clark and W, H. Taplin. 



M. Rice & Co. received fifty-nine cases 

 of goods by the steamer Armenia a few 

 days ago. 



The 75-foot brick stack of the Henry 

 A. Dreer Co., Riverton, N. J., was struck 

 by lightning July 8. The stack was so 

 badly wrecked that fifty feet of it will 

 have to be taken down. A side of one 

 of the adjoining greenhouse was shat- 

 tered. Fortunately, no one was injured. 

 This wrecking of a stack by lightning 

 is almost unprecedented in the east. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have their new 

 chiffon case attractively filled. Chiffon 

 mats are used on top when displaying 

 the goods.
