«FOR COMMENCEMENTS AND WEDDINGS 



There ia a great improvement in the BASKETS we are offering for June weddings and for school and college 

 commencements. 



Less attention used to be paid to the BASKET thau to its contents ; almost anything would do, because the flow- 

 ers would look well— that is how people put it. 



Now a handsome BASKET is indispensable. We do not mean an expensive basket, but oifi^ that has style, beau- 

 tiful proportions, graceful lines, shapely handle and is neat and durable. *" 



Our BASKETS are recognized as the standard all over the country. If you have not already used them, we 

 would like 3?ou to give us a trial order; if you are using them, which is most likely, please look over your stock when 

 you read this and see that you have enough to supply your June business, and if you haven't let us know and we will 

 rush them to you.

They went first to Wyndmoor, where 

 they were hospitably received by John 

 Burton. Mrs. Burton entertained the 

 party at luncheon and they visited 

 the three Burton places — the father's 

 and those of the two sons, Alfred and 

 George. Temperature, not so easily 

 controlled on that fierce day, soil, vari- 

 eties, culture — in fact, everything per- 

 taining to the profession of rose grow- 

 ing, with a little horticultural con- 

 struction, chemistry and so forth added, 

 was discussed by the professor and the 

 rose growers for the benefit of the 

 students. 



Then came a visit to the establish- 

 ment of Myers & Samtman, where the 

 large houses of Beauties, Hilda and My 

 Maryland were inspected. Frank P. 

 Myers explained that his place should 

 have been visited first, as they were 

 only amateur rose growers, and he sup- 

 ported this statement by pointing out 

 that the roses were all, in benches, 

 which is the way in which everyone 

 learns to grow them, whereas those of 

 all the other rose growers around Phila- 

 delphia are in solid beds. 



Eoslyn cama next, and under the 

 guidance of Mr. Myers the places of 

 Adolph Farenwald, Victor Groshens and 

 Edward Towill were visited. The new 

 president of the American Rose Society 

 here joined the party and they went 

 to North Wales to see the vast glass 

 acreage of the Florex Gardens, with 

 the immense quantities of roses, car- 

 nations and tomatoes. The day was 

 full of interest for all and will, let us 

 hope, prove an inspiration to these 

 horticulturists to do even . greater 

 things. 



The Main-Line Flower Show. 



A flower show was held in the casino 

 of the Merion Cricket Club at Haver- 

 ford Saturday, May 27, under the aus- 

 pices of the Gardeners' and the Weeders' 

 Clubs, two social organizations of the 

 smart set. The show brought out an 

 excellent list of exhibits from the gar- 

 deners and amateurs interested. 



The most effective exhibits were 

 handle baskets of peonies beautifully 

 arranged; one of pure white peonies in 

 a white enameled basket, finished with 

 a white and green striped satin ribbon;
