have something to tell them shortly. 

 Mr. Conner is always careful not to prom- 

 ise anything he won't do. The some- 

 thing appeared in the announcements 

 under the head of "Various Notes" in 

 the Eeview, that J. B. Swayne, Ken- 

 nett Square, would build certain houses. 

 Lord & Burnham material, semi-iron con- 

 struction. The Eeview, being much on 

 the alert, sent Phil to Kennett one day 

 last week to investigate. The investiga- 

 tion disclosed four magnificent connect- 

 ing houses, 28x200 feet each, built in 

 the most approved style. The roofing 

 material is in position, ready for glaz- 

 ing. It further developed on inquiry 

 that these houses were owned and ojp- 

 erated by the firm of Swayne & Pow- 

 ell, consisting of J. Bancroft Swayne 

 and Clifford S. Powell. Their location 

 is on the Baltimore Central, one-quarter 

 of a mile from Kennett station, adjoin- 

 ing Mr. Swayne 's mushroom-growing 

 and Anglo-American spawn-producing 

 plants. The object of the houses is to 

 produce tomatoes for the eastern mar- 

 kets, with the possibility of mushrooms 

 being added. It is doubtful whether 

 there is a finer tomato-growing range 

 in Chester county today. Mr. Swayne 

 said that the houses would probably be 

 planted about September 1. 



Various Notes. 



The outdoor sweet pea exhibition of 

 the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 

 was held in Horticultural hall on Tues- 

 day, June 23, from 2 to 10 p. m. 



President Hahman, of the Florists' 

 Club, proposes to call up discussion on 

 the cooperation paper, read at the June 

 meeting, as unfinished business at the 

 July meeting. 



The exhibition of Japanese iris is be- 

 ing held on the hilltop at the Andorra 

 Nurseries; it opened June 20 and will 

 close June 27. A band of music graced 

 the opening day. 



The cedar bark, in strips, quoted at $1 

 per hundred last week in the S. S. Pen- 

 nock-Meehan Co. card, should have read 

 $1 per bundle. The error is mine. 



Robert Pyle, president of the Conard 

 & Jones Co., was a visitor in this city 

 last Monday. Mr. Pyle spoke enthusiast- 

 ically of the address given by J. Otto 

 Thilow on * ' Civic Improvements ' ' at 



Increase your Summer Business 



Anybody can Bell flowers when everybody wants them, but it 

 takes enterprise to sell them in mid-summer. You can do it by 

 having something pretty where people can see it ; make it so pretty 

 that th^y will stop to look, and either take it home or come to you 

 later when they want something tasteful.

West Grove, June 5. He said there were 

 fully 200 persons in attendance, although 

 there was a vaudeville show in town the 

 same evening. 



Cards are out announcing the mar- 

 riage of Miss Murray and Robert Holmes 

 Glass on Wednesday, June 17. Mr. 

 Glass, who has many friends in and 

 out of the city, is connected with the 

 S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. 



Victor Groshans, of Glenside, Pa., is 



turning out some good Brides and Maids 

 for this season of the year. From all ap- 

 pearances he will cut nice stock of both 

 varieties throughout the summer. Rich- 

 mond is about over with him. 



W. L. McLannahan, of Tyrone, Pa., 

 was a visitor in this city recently. 



Robert Kif t says that the trouble about 

 being a floral reporter is that what you 

 say is soon forgotten, whereas an artist's 

 picture will remain a thing of beauty
