ed pleasure at the vim and energy that 

 they were throwing into their work. He 

 said he believed that everything would 

 be in excellent shape before the doors of 

 the convention were opened on August 

 20. 



Progress has been made in the ar- 

 rangements of the entertainment commit- 

 tee. William Graham, chairman of the 

 bowling committee, has engaged the Ter- 

 minal alleys for the inter-city team 

 match, while other alleys have been se- 

 cured for the ladies' match and the 

 individual bowling contest. Arrange- 

 ments have been made for at least one 

 baseball match during the convention. 

 Edward J. Fancourt has written to Bos- 

 ton and to Chicago, notable baseball 

 centers, asking each city whether they 

 can place a strictly florists' baseball 

 team in the field. Albert Swan has been 

 chosen manager of the Philadelphia 

 team, and some fifteen or more can- 

 didates for places on the team are prac- 

 ticing for the game or games. If both 

 Boston and Chicago accept, it is prob- 

 able that one game will be arranged for 

 Thursday afternoon, the other for Fri- 

 day. The Philadelphia team will be in 

 uniforms and it is hoped the others will 

 also. 



An error has crept into the preliminary 

 program sent out from the secretary's 

 office. The ladies' outing, arranged for 

 Thursday, August 22, at Willow Grove 

 park, is erroneously scheduled therein 

 for Friday, August 23, the date of the 

 general outing at Belmont Mansion in 

 Fairmount park. 



The statement that Ernest Hemming 

 will deliver an address before the con- 

 vention appears to be an error. 



A Grower of Pot Plants. 



It must have been John, Edward or 

 Howard who rang the telephone last 

 Monday morning to say that "father" 

 wanted to see Phil that day. Phil was 

 so dumb that he didn't know exactly 

 who ' ' father ' ' might be, until the well- 

 known voice of Godfrey Aschmann was 

 heard at the other end of the wire, ex- 

 tending cordial invitation. So Phil 

 hurried over to 1012 Ontario street and 

 saw Godfrey Aschmann himself and a 

 splendid lot of araucarias, excelsa, glauca 

 and robusta, in medium sizes chiefly, 

 with a few large ones that you will see 

 in the exhibition hall. The Boston fam- 

 ily has evidently cotne to stay on On- 

 tario street. They have Bostoniensis, 

 Elegantissima, Piersoni, Barrowsii, Scot- 

 tii, and, I rejoice to add, Whitmani, all 

 in quantity. The pteris family was also 

 strongly represented in 2*4 -inch pots 

 (fernery size). Primula obconica and 

 Sinensis were coming on ;so also Aspar- 

 agus plUmosus nanus, a good thing for 

 the grower of small pot plants. There 

 was a house of Kentia Belmoreana and 

 Forgteriana, some Latania Borbonica,

and Cocoa Wed del liana. There are more 

 araucarias en route. They will be fol- 

 lowed across the water by a great army 

 of azaleas for Christmas and Easter 

 flowering. 



A feature of interest was long 

 frames filled with hydrangeas, .Jerusalem 

 cherries, variegated vinca, planted out 

 for stock. Phil came away feeling, as 

 he always does, that Mr. Aschmann has 

 plenty of pluck and energy, and deserves 

 credit for succeeding where nianv 

 another would have failed.

Some Bayersdorfer Novelties. 

 H. Bayersdorfer snatched a moment 

 from a busy day to point out two or 

 three, the advance guard, as it were, of 

 the novelties that have reached his big 

 warehouse. One was a massive bowl of 

 a new type of pottery, resembling what 

 might be termed Flemish toneware orna- 

 mented with iron bands. The effect was 

 to symbolize solidity. There were sev- 

 eral styles of this new pottery; each 

 marked the advance of the idea of some- 

 thing that will set off rather than vie
