Milwaukee is famous for the quality of its Beauties and Carnations. The warmer the weather 

 the better Milwaukee flowers compare with those produced in less-favored sections. Plenty of Asparagus 

 Strings and Sprengeri Bunches. We also have a big lot of Plants. Send for list. 



We can take good care of all orders at lowest market rates. Write, phone or wire us — we do the rest.

another of pink peonies in basket to 

 match, and another of shrubs in a greeu 

 basket. Oriental poppies lent effective- 

 ness, with, their handsome scarlet color- 

 ing. A bowl of water lilies was inuch 

 admired. 



The most effective plants were a 

 geranium, fuchsia and heliotrope trained 

 in umbrella form and well flowered. 



The Henry A. Dreer Co. exhibited 100 

 varieties of roses, many of them novel- 

 ties, from their collection at Eiverton. 

 The exhibit was in charge of John S. 

 Hay. The Henry F. Miehell Co. also 

 made a handsome show of its specialties 

 to aid the gardeners and amateurs in 

 what would be, for them, an unequal 

 struggle with insect pests and unpro- 

 ductive soil. The Morris Nursery Co. 

 made a handsome exhibit of evergreens. 

 The decorative groups were fine. Among 

 the celebrities present were J. Otto Thi- 

 low and I^vid Bust. 



It has been generally stated that the 

 children of the Sunday and public 

 schools, who have been industriously 

 working under the auspices of these 



clubs, would make their exhibits at this 

 show. For their benefit the Henry F. 

 Miehell Co. contributed 2,500 packages 

 of seed. The Henry A. Dreer Co. had 

 also made a generous contribution to en- 

 courage the children's love for garden- 

 ing, but the show was too early for the 

 youthful exhibitors, who will have to 

 hoe and weed and, as it looks now, water 

 industriously for some time to come. 

 One dish of radishes there was, as an 

 appetizer, so to speak. 



Various Notes. 



Lemuel Ball, well known palm grower 

 of Wissinoming, died on the evening of 

 May 24. His funeral took place May 27. 

 Mr. Ball was a brother of Charles D. 

 Ball, of Holmesburg. 



Charles E. Lehman, of Stokes Bros. 

 Co., has been largely instrumental in in- 

 creasing the popularity of cypress among 

 the florists and mushroom growers of 

 this vicinity. 



Robert Shoch, of M. Rice & Co., has 

 returned from a good southern trip. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. will close at 1 



p. m. Saturdays in June, July and 

 August. 



Robert A. Craig expects to be able 

 to offer some of the fancy dracsenas in 

 quantity this season. 



Paul J. Klingsborn, of Berger Bros., 

 says that Princeton is without doubt the 

 best pink rose in the market today. 



Charles E. Meehan returned May 29, 

 much benefited by his trip to Ocean 

 City. 



The weather has been unusually favor- 

 able for the cemetery florists. Clear 

 weather for a week and Memorial day 

 superb, they did a big business. 



John C. Gracey says that Memorial 

 day was quiet uptown. Mr. Gracey is a 

 leader there, with his two fine stores. 



The business of the late Lemuel Ball 

 will be continued. James Wade will 

 grow the stock, as before, while Mr. 

 Ball's brother-in-law will attend to tho 

 business. 



Pennock Bros, had their usual hanci- 

 some immortelle design for the tomb cJ' 

 General Grant on display in their win-
