 is also in demand. Adiantum and galax 

 leaves continue to sell well. This is 

 the situation in brief, with the stronger 

 features accentuated. 



Qub Meeting. 



Fully 100 were present at the club 

 meeting August 6. Six of the nine com- 

 petitors for the Craig Amerpohlii 

 prizes appeared, with three plants each. 

 All were excellent. The judges awarded 

 first prize to "William Robertson, gar- 

 dener to John W. Pepper; second to 

 William Kleinheinz, gardener to P. A. 

 B. Widener; third to Thomas Long, gar- 

 dener to George W. Childs Drexel. 



Convention committees reported. 

 George Redles gave a good, practical talk 

 on native aijd house plants, which was 

 well received. Then President Pennock 

 introduced ex-Mayor Smith, who, in his 

 inimitably funny way, presented the 

 prizes. Speeches were made by Robert 

 Craig, John Westcott, Daniel Farson and 

 others. A. M. Campbell, P. J. Lynch, 

 William Wunder and H. T. Dumont sang. 

 Speeches, songs, music and a well served 

 supper were thoroughly enjoyed by the 

 members, who were indebted for this 

 admirably arranged entertainment to 

 William P. Craig. 



Wyncote. 



The Joseph Heacock Co. has just com- 

 pleted the first year of its business as a 

 company. The record for the twelve 

 months is gratifying. The palm depart- 

 ment has done better than ever before, 

 with excellent prospects for a still fur- 

 ther improvement this year, while tb«

adverse weather, had been behind hand 

 on March 1, finally almost equaled last 

 season's figures. This was due to the 

 cool spring, to a good demand, and to 

 care. The founder of the business, 

 whose portrait appears in this issue, is 

 chairman of the hotel committee for the 

 convention and doing everything possible 

 to see that everyone is provided with 

 just the accommodations he wants. 



Convention Topics. 



The approach of the opening of the 

 convention finds the preparations going 

 steadily on. In many instances, they 

 are nearing completion. Superintendent 

 Rust reports that the entries for the ex- 

 hibition in Horticultural Hall are com- 

 ing in satisfactorily. Much space has 

 been engaged; there is still some to be 

 had. 



The report that the Knights of 

 Pythias might fill the hotels to the ex- 



clusion of delegates to our convention 

 is unfounded. It is true that the 

 Knights have their convention the same 

 week that we do, but it is improbable 

 that their forces will be half as large 

 as ours, and the hotels of this city are 

 quite capable of taking care of much 

 larger numbers of visitors than will be 

 present at the two conventions com- 

 bined. 



Mayor Reyburn has graciously accept- 

 ed the invitation to open the first ses- 

 sion of the convention, and has prom- 

 ised favorable recommendation to the 

 request that the Court of Honor be lit 

 on one evening in honor of our visitors. 

 Governor Stuart has not yet been heard 

 from. In naming the committee in 

 charge of this matter last week, the name 

 of H. Bayersdorfer was omitted through 

 error. 



President Pennock, in speaking of the 

 work of the various committees, express-
