could be counted on the fingers of your 

 two hands. These favored few continued 

 to prosper and wax strong, so much so 

 that Mr. Battles w$s heard to say that 

 the Beauty growers received too much 

 money. They certainly increased their 

 places enormously. Adverse winds over- 

 took one after another until a majority 



even of these favored few either forsook 

 the Beauty partially or entirely, remark- 

 ing that too much time was wasted tying, 

 or something of that sort, or else they 

 added important side lines, indicating a 

 disposition to retire gracefully. That is 

 the situation today. Personally I am 

 inclined to think that more American 



Beauty roses can be grown profitably 

 than are coming into the Philadelphia 

 market at present. In evidence of this 

 I would call attention to the fact that 

 prices were higher this season for a 

 longer period than usual and that during 

 every time of overproduction the Beauty 

 is favored. There is no rival in sight. 



Variotis Notes. 



The peony show of the Pennsylvania 

 Horticultural Society was held in Hor- 

 ticultural hall June 3. 



V/hen H. H. Battles heard of the dam- 

 age done to his shop by the water used 

 in the extinguishing of a Chestnut street 

 fire last week he only asked whether the 

 orders had gone out on time, and when 

 assured that they had Mr. Battles was 

 entirely satisfied. 



August H. Schaefifer, of York, Pa., 

 spent part of his honeymoon in this city. 



W. W. Foster has been sending some 

 splendid spikes of Gladiolus America 

 from his Riverside Greenhouses, Westerly, 

 R. I., to the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. 

 Mr. Foster's Killarnejs are also pets of 

 Wesley Clark, one of the crack P. M. 

 salesmen. 



William Swayne, of Kennett Square, 

 is motoring in the Pocono mountains. 



Victor Groshens, of Roslyn, Pa., is 

 planting 4,000 White Killarney this sea- 

 son. Mr. Groshens' cut is handled by 

 the Leo Niessen Co. 



O. Paul Paefke, of Easton, Pa., was 

 looking over the rising eastern market 

 with a view to starting a store in his 

 home town. ,
