^IVe a little 

 unusual at this 

 time of the 



year to specialize, but we felt 

 we wanted to give our custo- 

 mers the advantage of the 

 rose market. Our growers are 

 cutting very freely now, so we 

 are offering a boX of SOO 



assorted roses for 

 $7*309 our selection as to 

 color, mostly pink and white. These are 

 unusual values as to quality. A fair propor- 

 tion of long-stemmed roses and some of the 

 new rose Mrs. Taft included in every box.

ceived the equivalent in marguerites, 

 but you received no change. The 

 amount you offered was supposed to be 

 what you wished to give to the poor. 

 No florists could sell on Marguerite 

 day. Some of the ladies bought their 

 marguerites beforehand; others ob- 

 tained them from their gardens. Later, 

 when I was in Coburg, Marguerite day 

 was being observed there. It occurred 

 to me that this would be a good way 

 to raise money in some of our large 

 cities in summer for, say, the ice fund. 

 It would arouse interest in flowers and 

 do a good work." 



Various Notes. 



M. Eice & Co. report the following 

 visitors: E. J. McCallum, Pittsburg, 

 Pa.; C. C. Pollworth and wife, Milwau- 

 kee, Wis.; A. Daniel, representing Penn 

 the Florist, Boston, Mass.; George 

 Smith, Cleveland, O.; Charles L. Baum, 

 Knoxville, Tenn.; Fred Bergmann, of 

 E. Wienhoeber Co., Chicago, 111.; Will- 

 iam C. Young, St. Louis, Mo., and two 



distinguished visitors whose names 

 could not be learned, as they were see- 

 ing the sights with B. Eschner. 



S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. reports 

 the following visitors: U. J. Virgin, 

 New Orleans, La.; W. F. Haeger and 

 wife, Chattanooga, Tenn.; W. B. Pater- 

 son and two sons, Montgomery, Ala.; 

 •lohn A. Beck and wife, Milton, Pa., 

 and Harry Papworth, New Orleans, La. 



John Burton motored a select party 

 to Waretown, on Barnegat bay, August 

 20. The i)arty is believed to include 

 William Currie, Milwaukee, Wis.; 

 Adam Graham, Cleveland, 0.; Commo- 

 dore .Tohn Westcott and Hugh Eble. 



H. B. Howard, of Chicago, spent a 

 day in this city on his way from Balti- 

 more to his native town, Brattleboro, 

 Vt. He spent a day also in New York. 



All Philadelphia went to the Balti- 

 more convention last week. All Phila- 

 delphia was delighted with southern 

 hospitality. Charles E. Meehan says 

 that the value of a convention to the 



exhibitor is not measured merely by 

 orders, but by the opportunity to meet 

 old friends, to make new friends and 

 to let the world know that he is up and 

 doing. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. are putting a 

 new representative on the road. Mr. 

 Bayersdorfer thinks highly of this 

 latest acquisition to his staff. His 

 name has not yet been made public. 

 He is mysteriously spoken of as "The 

 Silent Traveler. ' ' A successful trav- 

 eler, it has always been supposed, must 

 be a good talker; yet the knowing ones 

 believe this fellow will make even the 

 great Martin Reukauf look to his 

 laurels. 



George Auegle, of the Philadelphia 

 Cut Flower Co., will leave for Washing- 

 ton and the south August 26. 



Walter P. Stokes returned from a 

 few days at Eagles Mere, Pa., August 

 22. 



Philadelphia thanks Baltimore for a 

 glorious convention. Phil.
