transfer the business management of his 

 retail flower store, at 233 South Elev- 

 ■enth street, and of his greenhouses, at 

 Secane, to his second son, Harry K. 

 Crawford. 



Robert Crawford, Jr., is one of the 

 pioneers among the retail florists of this 

 city. After an apprenticeship with 

 Henry A. Dreer, at Riverton, and Louis 

 C. Baumann, in Germantown, he opened 

 his flower store and by industry and 

 perseverance built up a successful busi- 

 ness. His store was beautifully ar- 

 ranged and attractive in appearance. 

 His arrangement of flowers was eflE6ct- 

 ive, combining taste with good judg- 

 ment. Mr. Crawford is a man of strong 

 personality, who made his impress on 

 all those with whom he dealt. He al- 

 ways aimed to keep pace with the times, 

 putting the first electric delivery car on 

 the street before any of his competitors 

 had done so. He now feel? that the 

 time has come to relinquish the active 

 «ares of business to his son. 



Club Meeting. 



There was an excellent meeting of 



the Florists' Club October 6, it being 

 election night. There were no contests, 

 however, the leaders for next year be- 

 ing chosen unanimously, as follows: 



President — George Burton. 



Vice-president — ^John C. Gracey. 



Treasurer — George Craig, reelected. 



Secretary — David Rust, reelected. 



The officers each made happy ad- 

 dresses and J. 0. Thilow, just home from 

 the Yellowstone, gave an interesting ad- 

 dress regarding his travels. 



Various Notes. 



GriflBn Bros., of Frankford, have com- 

 pleted, planted and are cutting fine car- 

 nations from their new Hitchings house 

 at Torresdale, Pa. Their varieties of 

 carnations, with which the entire house 

 is planted, are Enchantress, White En- 

 chantress and Beacon. Bruce Griffin is 

 in charge. 



R. F. Whitmer, the lumber king, has 

 his EUenwood Greenhouses, at Hatboro, 

 Pa., in fine shape. His house of Double 

 White Killarney is superb. Joseph 

 TowilJ is manager. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. had 249 Cases 



of immortelles on the steamer Sant' 

 Anna. Unfortunately a fire occurred in 

 the hold of the steamer before all the 

 cargo was discharged. Mr. Bayers- 

 dorfer went to New York to investigate 

 the matter and reports the loss as light. 

 Baskets from Germany are beginning to 

 arrive through neutral ports. 



Recent visitors include: Edward W. 

 Bayley, Westerly, R. I,; Louis Hoover, 

 Washington, D. C; John T. Muir, Chi- 

 cago; C. D. Mills, Jacksonville, Fla., and

Herbert Baker has abandoned his 

 place at Lansdowne, Pa. Mr. Baker pur- 

 chased the place of the late A. J. Pen- 

 nock, from Mrs. Pennock, on the install- 

 ment plan, shortly after the death of 

 the owner. He became tired of his work 

 and left recently.
