Laet week we exploited the NBW KIND of store. 



Bielow we offer the NEW KIND of backet or flower jar, made of the best galvanized iron, 

 which is only one of the many novelties we have in store for our customers the coming season. 



After a practical and thorough test of two years this bucket has been found far more dur- 

 able, easier handled; in fact, superior in every way to any flower receptacle on the market today. 



It does not break, does not wear out, does not rot, does not chip; in fact, with any kind 

 of care, will last a life time.

It will appeal particularly to the Grower and Wholesaler, and to the Retailer for a 

 receptacle which he does not want to use for show purposes.

West Grove to New Castle. 



The florists' business world has been 

 startled by the announcement in western 

 and eastern papers, confirmed from head- 

 quarters, that the Dingee & Conard Co., 

 West Grove, Pa., has purchased the plant 

 growing department of Heller Bros., 

 New Castle, Ind. This department com- 

 prises about 50,000 square feet of glass, 

 devoted to the plant mailing trade. It 

 is further stated that the purchasers will 

 operate this plant as a separate branch 

 from their main plant at West Grove, 

 with a superintendent, James McLaugh- 

 lin, in charge. The sale was effected by 

 P. Joseph Lynch, managing owner of 

 Dingee & Conard Co., and was made 

 possible by the death of Herbert Heller, 

 who had charge of this department of 

 his firm's business. 



Surprise was manifested by the busi- 

 ness world when the Dingee & Conard 



Co. added its rose growing plant at Char- 

 lotte, N. C. ; greater surprise will cer- 

 tainly be shown when the present pur- 

 chase becomes generally known. Every- 

 body knows that Mr. Lynch is a good 

 business man, who prospers, but there has 

 been a sort of mild skepticism among 

 the profession as to the possibilities of 

 the "dollar a dozen" roses. The New 

 Castle purchase will do much to dissipate 

 these doubts. 



Various Notes. 



B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., re- 

 turned to this city from the Cincinnati 

 convention August 24, full of enthusiasm 

 over the appreciation by the delegates 

 and by the Cincinnati Enquirer for his 

 firm's handsome exhibit. 



Henry Kabierske, who gained renown 

 for his artistic work in Founders' Week 

 celebration last fall, has started in busi- 

 ness for himself, opening an office in 

 the Flanders' building, Fifteenth and 

 Walnut streets. Mr, Kabierske did some 



local work for a local celebration in 

 Dayton, 0., and another in Milwaukee, 

 also for the Hudson-Fulton celebration 

 next month. He has secured a contract 

 here in November and another in Wash- 

 ington next May. 



George Cooper, formerly with H. H. 

 Battles, now with President Valentine in 

 Denver, was a visitor in this city this 

 week. 



William A. Keaton, Andalusia, Pa., is 

 adding one new house 24x80 and doubling 

 another house. This will give Mr. Kea- 

 ton a little less than twice as much 

 glass. It will be devoted to violets and 

 carnations. 



Frederick J. Michell spoke entertain- 

 ingly in his cheery way of his visit to 

 Cincinnati last week. Mr. Michell en- 

 joyed himself, as he always does, and 

 also did a satisfactory business, as he 

 generally does. When asked about the 

 latter Mr. Michell mentioned that he had 

 secured a new insecticide sprayer for use
