The Weekly Florists' Review* 



August 15, 1907. 



YOU ARE INVITED TO VISIT US during convention w/^ek, any day at your convenience. 



ANDORRA presents a unique Nursery— six hundred acres of hilly land, containing over three hundred and fifty 

 acres of Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Vines and Perennials. OUR LjOCATION permits us to grow 

 many varieties, both in deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs, that cannot be grown to advantage north 

 or south of this latitude, and thus adds to our extensive collection many desirable and decorative plants. 



ANDORRA has been called "The Modern Landscape Nursery." The lay-out of our land, with its hills, valleys 

 and woodland, permits the planting of trees and shrubs in natural positions, thus affording planting sug- 

 gestions at every turn. i 



ANDORRA is easily and quickly reached from the Convention (Horticultural) Hall bv the Pennsylvania Railroad 

 from Broad St. station (at Broad and Market Sts.) to Chestnut Hill station; then by trolley, which passes 

 the depot to the city line. Our office is one block from the trolley terminus at city line. 



REMEMBER, this is a personal invitation to ¥OU.

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



Railroad Rates to Annual Meeting. 



Members are advised that the Trunk 

 Line Association, in whose territory 

 Philadelphia, our meeting place, is lo- 

 cated, has granted a special rate of one 

 and one-third fare on the certificate 

 plan. This rate has been concurredf in 

 by the following associations: 



New England Passenger Association, 

 Southeastern Passenger Association, 

 Eastern Canadian Passenger Association. 



Members are advised that the Central 

 Passenger Association will not join in 

 the reduced rate of a fare and one-third, 

 for the reason that a number of states 

 have provided by law for a stanuard rate 

 of 2 cents per mile, particularly in the 

 territories covered by th^^ association. 

 It has, however, made a special conces- 

 sion to our society in that it will sell a 

 round trip ticket to Philadelphia at the 

 rate of 2 cents per mile each way in the 

 territory covered by this association, and 

 at the reduced rate of a fare and one- 

 third through the territory covered by the 

 Eastern, Canadian and Trunk Line As- 

 sociations. This special concession is 

 only for those attending the session and 

 not for the general public. These spe- 

 cial tickets can be obtained only on card 

 orders secured direct from P. J. Haus- 

 wirth, secretary, 232 Michigan avenue, 

 Chicago. The Central Passenger Asso- 

 ciation has furnished the secretary with 



these card orders, and should you reside 

 in the territory covered by the Central 

 Passenger Association and desire to take 

 advantage of this special concession you 

 MUST obtain from the secretary a card 

 order. In writing for card orders be 

 sure to give the number required, as each 

 person must have one. 



The secretary has received the follow- 

 ing letter from the Western Passenger 

 Association : 



Referring to your application for reduced 

 fares account abore named occasion: 



We have been requested by the Individual 

 lines Interested in Western Passenger Associa- 

 tion territory to refer you to the revised one- 

 way or summer tourist fares in effect to Chicago 

 and St. Louis, with the understanding that per- 

 sons can repurchase from those points and take 

 advantage of the reduced fares authorized there- 

 from. 



In order that you may fully understand the 

 situation, beg to state that the fares to Chicago, 

 Peoria and St. Louis from a large part of our 

 territory at the time of your meeting will be 

 on the basis of 2 cents per mile; hence If i)er- 

 sons desiring to attend same will purchase 

 tickets to those points and then rebuy at the 

 reduced fares authorized therefrom, thev will 

 secure practically the same reduction in the 

 territory of this association as would be ac- 

 corded by fare and one-third on the basis of the 

 old rates. Summer tourist tickets will be on 

 sale to Chicago and St. Louis from points west 

 of the Missouri river and east of and Including 

 Denver and Cheyenne, Wyo., at approximately 

 fare and one-third of the fares in effect Febru- 

 ary 1, 1907. These fares will no doubt satis- 

 factorily take care of persons desiring to attend 

 your meeting from the territory mentioned. 



It Is suggested that the delegates residing In 

 Western Passenger Association territory be fur- 

 nished with Central Passenger Association card 

 orders, so as to enable them to take advantage 

 of the reduced fares authorized from Chicago, 

 Peoria and St. Louis. 



The secretary recommends that mem- 

 bers living in this territory purchase 

 summer tourist tickets to Chicago or St. 

 Louis, and then avail theftiselves of the 

 rates mentioned above as offered by the 

 Central Passenger Association.
