 Bussell and Mrs. George Shawyer are 

 in type so small as to seem insignificant 

 by comparison. It is evidently a sea- 

 sonable price list, for Double "White

 five names with two spaces to its credit, 

 while Beauties are at the bottom with 

 only one.

Franklin Ely, of Henry F. Michell 

 Co., discussing the seed situation, said 

 that he believed that flower seeds would 

 suffer little from the war, for the pres- 

 ent at least. This week 's seeds have 

 come from England and from Italy 

 through the mails, while Germany re- 

 mains unheard from. We depend on 

 Germany for some of our best flower 

 yeeds and for some vegetable seeds. 

 Of most of these seeds there is enough 

 in this country for immediate needs, 

 the danger lying in the future in the 

 ^vent of wanton destruction.

 of Mendenhall, Pa., to be used for 

 tomatoes, and two houses, each 25x100, 

 for L. H. Dedner, Manoa, Pa., to be 

 devoted to carnations. 



W. P. Carre, of Mantua, N. J., has 

 remembered his friends in this city 

 with some delicious second-crop straw- 

 berries. 



Robert Craig and John Westcott

George S. Hampton, of Joseph G. 

 Neidinger, says that the activity in 

 making new florists' supplies will soon 

 bear fruit. 



Edward Reid writes to his friends in 

 this city that he sails on the St. Paul, 

 if she starts, August 22. 



Robert Q. Shoch describes his defeat 

 in the fat men's race at Boston last 

 Friday by Charles E. Critchell, of Cin- 



cinnati, with the equanimity of a thor- 

 oughly good sport. Not a shade of 

 sourballedness appeared in his voice as 

 he told of his first walloping. 



Charles Henry Fox expects to sail for 

 home on the St. Paul, August 22. 



Verona & Steinhoff, of New York 

 city, expect to open their flower store 

 in the N. Snellenberg & Co. depart-

J. D. Eisele motored George D. Clark, 

 James C. Clark and Charles H. McKub- 

 bin down to Atlantic City to see the 

 Dreer exhibit on the garden pier. The 

 lawn there is of a velvety richness sel- 

 dom seen outside of England. It was 

 Mr. Eisele 's first holiday this season 

 and a delightful day to all of the 

 quartet.
