tor, things are possible that were not 

 then dreamed of. 



Thursday, October 22, a party of 

 four, consisting of Frank P. Myers, 

 ^lartin Samtman, Joseph 8. Myers and 

 Clarence Upton, visited seven of the 

 largest rose growing places near here, 

 covering something over sixty miles. 

 Tliey called at Hillside, where they in- 

 8| c'cted the ranges" of Victor Groshens, 

 Eiward Towill and Adolph Farenwald. 

 A- the last named place they secured 

 a lecruit in the person of the Great Af- 

 fiiiator himself, who went along on the 

 ccudition that the speed should not 

 11 'ke it likely he would return in a 

 pi/ie box. The next place was ten 

 ^''\es or so away, Stephen Mortensen's, 

 at Southampton. Then came lunch, with 

 tl'O followers of the oyster stew and of 

 P< ik nearly evenly divided, at Lang- 

 •^'''n. Then the great houses of the 

 J' «eph Heacock Co., at Boelofs, were 



quickly followed by the greenhouse of 

 Malcolm Franklin at Yardley. Last, 

 but by no means least, came the great 

 place of the Florex Gardens at North 

 Wales, with its mammoth house in fine 

 condition. The visitors found that Kil- 

 larney Brilliant had made tremendous 

 inroads on four of the seven places and 

 that while a greater variety of roses is 

 being generally grown than last season, 

 Killarney and White Killarney are still 

 the leading varieties. 



Various Notes. 



G. P. Weaklen, of Pittsburgh, Pa., 

 came to this city October 23 to make a 

 pall for a casket cover to be used at a 

 funeral in Chester on the following day. 

 He used over 25,000 double violets, be- 

 sides some lily of the valley and or- 

 chids, making up his handsome floral 

 piece at the- store of the S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., with the assistance of some 



of that company's young men, and im- 

 pressed its motor car into service for 

 delivery. 



G, R. Clark, of Scranton, was here 

 recently. Mr. Clark says that this is 

 the first season that he has ever seen 

 late blooming cosmos in flower outdoors 

 at home. 



Clarence J. Watson, with the Leo 

 Niessen Co., who has been ill for the 

 last fortnight, has returned to work. 



Raymond Brunswick, secretary and 

 treasurer of the M. Rice Co., makes the 

 following, statement: "When the war 

 broke out we had booked a large num- 

 ber of orders for goods that we ex- 

 pected to receive from abroad. These 

 orders were filled as far as possible from 

 the stock on hand, the balance being 

 left unfilled until the goods arrived. 

 These goods are now arriving on the 

 steamer Norderdyck, that has just 

 reached this port, and by the American
