THE PHILADELPHIA LACE FERN" 



The lace-like fronds of this grand fern are the 

 coming green for cut flowers. It is as beautiful 

 as Farleyense and much more durable. It is also 

 the best pot plant, being finished and salable in 

 all sizes. Our stock is in excellent shape and we 

 will be able to supply as follows.

says that he can stem more flowers than 

 any three men can do with their hands

 device should prove invaluable to the re-

VariousNotes. 



Samuel S. Pennock sailed for England 

 last Saturday morning. He will join his 

 family in Wales, returning early in Oc- 

 tober. 



I regret to chronicle the departure 

 from this city of W. H. Taplin, for 

 nearly twenty-four years manager for 

 Charles D. Ball, at Holmesburg, Pa. 

 Mr. Taplin leaves on Saturday to accept 

 a similar position with Eugene Daille- 

 douze, a lifelong friend, at Flatbush, 

 Long Island. Mr. Taplin has earned for 

 himself an enviable position in the front 

 rank of palm and fern growers, as well 

 as horticultural writers. His kindly 

 manner made him a great favorite with 



his fellow members at the Florists' Club. 

 Mr. Taplin 's church friends presented 

 him with a silver service a few days 

 before he left. He has the best wishes 

 of all his friends in his new work. 



Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., has some striking novelties in the 

 shape of imitation ivy and grape vine 

 designs for decorative effects; also ex- 

 quisite little mistletoe and wild roses in 

 bloom in tiny little china pots. Carna- 

 tions of muslin are most natural, and 

 might be easily mistaken for the real 

 thing at a distance. 

 / Joseph G. Neidinger, who recently in- 

 creased his wax flower and florists' sup- 

 pl/ractory by moving to larger quarters, 

 has a very pretty specialty in the shape 

 of cowbells of immortelles, which are 

 meeting with ready sale. Another pretty 

 thing. is imitation holly, the leaves and 

 fruit being perfect in form and color. 

 A great improvement has been made in 



wax flowers, and it is hoped that they 

 will soon be made so durabfe that the 

 sun cannot affect them. Besides these 

 specialties, the factory force is busily 

 engaged making wicker and willow 

 baskets. 



John Hobson, for fifteen years with 

 the William Graham Co., and now in 

 charge at Olney, has resigned his posi- 

 tion to accept a position as manager 

 with Charles D. Ball. 



The Florex Gardens sent their first 

 Beauties to Eugene Bernheimer last 

 Wednesday. They were sold to Pennock 

 Bros. These fiowers were cut from old 

 plants brought over from Edgely. Man- 

 ager George Samtman is not yet ready 

 to cut from his young stock. 



Unfortunately, two of our visitors have 

 been detained here by illness. It is 

 hoped that both will soon improve. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. will 

 move to its new quarters, at 1517 San- 

 £om street, before September 1. 



George Hampton, formerly with the 

 Henry F. Michell Co., is now with Joseph 

 G. Neidinger. 



John Westcott has fairly earned his 

 three F's — the Finest Fellow in Filadel- 

 phia. 



Charles E. Meehan will address the 

 Florists' Club next Tuesday evening. 



The strenuous efforts of David Rust, 

 in his dual capacity as secretary of the 

 Florists' Club and superintendent of the 

 exhibition, have earned for him well 

 merited praise. 



The success of the Philadelphia bowl- 

 ing team, after a spirited contest, is most 

 gratifying; also that of William Rob- 

 ertson, our highest individual score. 



William F. Dreer came home from Tak- 

 it-ezy, in Maine, and Herbert G. Tull 

 from Waynesboro, N. C, on purpose to 

 assist in receiving their guests at River- 

 ton last week. 



Joseph Heacock has returned from the 

 northwest. His search for his son proved 

 fruitless. 



M. Rice & Co. made a hit with their 

 novelty tree stump. 



Lemuel Ball has an exceptionally well 

 grown lot of kentias this season. 



Dr. George Goebel's victory in the 

 shooting tourney was a popular one.
