event of the day was, of course, the 

 glorious national game. The contest was 

 married versus single. The single men, 

 having no cares on their happy minds, 

 won by a score of 11 to 1. The feature 

 of the game was, though you might not 

 think so from the score, the work of the 

 opposing pitchers, Harry Eisele and 

 William F. Lacroix, Jr., a local celebrity. 

 Ch;irles Marbell gave some choice vocal 

 selections, which were much enjoyed. 

 There was a stroll over the lilac farm, 

 ^^i'li its thousands of Rubra de Marley 

 in every stage, from one year to seven, 

 ^11 in fine shape. The guests were pre- 

 sented to a bevy of a dozen young ladies, 

 ^'I'i dancing was suggested and carried 

 oiu most successfully, Frederick Cramer 

 fairying off the honors in the tango com- 

 petition. Mr. Lacroix entertained his

 reserve section, fully five houses of 

 plants; kentias that had been ordered 

 in the late winter or spring, mostly for 

 September delivery, a mark of con- 

 fidence to which a house may point 

 with pleasure. 



The Cocos Weddelliana range, the 

 pride of Riverton, has taken still an- 

 other step forward. The cocos have 

 passed through the medium size into 

 the size for specimen plants. Cocos 

 Weddelliana have been produced this 

 season that stood four and one-half feet 



high, perfect in symmetry and foliage. 

 That is an achievement. Add to this 

 that the cocos are equal, if not superior, 

 to anything ever produced before at 

 Dreer's; picture the tables filled with 

 plants of size after size, and you can 

 almost see the range of these graceful 

 palms at Riverton. 



Phoenix Roebelenii is more than 

 holding its own, for now there is a 

 story of a man who watered his phoenix 

 thoroughly and closed his house for five 

 weeks. When he returned his phoenix 

 was drooping sadly, so he put it in a 

 bathtub full of water. The next morn-
