growing freely and blooming, despite the 

 torrid heat of last month. In addition 

 to the 5,000 Killarney mentioned in the 

 remodeled range, there are 2,000 more of 

 the same variety, besides a house each of 

 Richmond and Mrs. Jardine. The last 

 named variety is on trial in the house in 

 which Killarney made its mark here. 



Vaciotss Notes. 



The steamer Albano was damaged by 

 a, fire that occurred on the Washington 

 street wharf on the night of July 31. 

 Both M. Rice & Co. and H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., who had large consignments of 

 novelties on the steamer, were fortu- 

 nately able to remove their cases in the 

 afternoon before the fire occurred. Vis- 

 itors to the convention at Niagara Falls 

 will, therefore, not be deprived of seeing 

 the Philadelphia novelties from these two 

 great houses, which are always a feature 

 of the exhibition. 



Among the visitors in this city re- 

 cently, reported by H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., were Charles Netsch, Buffalo, N. Y. ; 

 Charles Robinson and Joseph Margolis, of 

 the firm of Henry Robinson & Co., Bos- 

 ton; Charles Munro, New Haven, Conn. 



Henry Eichholz, of Waynesboro, Pa., 

 was a visitor in this city a few days ago. 

 Mr. Eichholz was on his way from Quebec 

 to Atlantic City. 



It was' just fourteen years ago, August 

 1, that Leo Niessen started in business as 

 a wholesale commission florist. Mr. Nies- 

 sen 's success in building up a large and 

 prosperous business has been remarkable. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. reports large 

 sales on its special brand of pulverized 

 sheep manure. 



H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayersdorfer 

 expect to sail from Cherbourg, France, 

 for home, August 6. 



Leo Niessen and Arthur A. Niessen 

 recently visited the greenhouses of Albin 

 Harvey & Sons, at Brandywine Summit. 

 They found the varieties grown indoors 

 all summer in magnificent shape, prom- 

 ising splendid results for the coming sea- 

 son. About half of the place is being 

 planted with field-grown stock, also in 

 fine condition. The planting should be 

 finished before these notes appear. The 

 varieties grown include Winsor, Beacon, 

 Enchantress, Rose-pink Enchantress, Mar- 

 shall 's white seedling, Victory, and sev-

eral others whose names I do not recall. 

 The Messrs. Harvey motored their visit- 

 ors over to Edward C. Marshall's, at, I 

 think, Willowdale, and William J. Palmer 

 & Son 's, at Mendenhall. Both places were 

 full of interest. At the last named place 

 all the carnations were grown from 

 rooted cuttings that had been purchased. 

 The stock was in exceptionally fine con- 

 dition. The Messrs. Palmer had some 

 trouble with their carnations two years 



ago. Last year they devoted their place 

 to tomatoes, but this year decided to re- 

 turn to carnations. There is every indi- 

 cation that success will attend their ef- 

 forts. 



William J. Baker is receiving some 

 choice Queen Louise carnations.

 & Co,, has just returned from a four
