Duncan Macaw is enjoying a few 

 days' vacation at Atlantic City. 



Miss M. S. Newman and Miss Arm- 

 strong, of St. Louis, were recent vis- 

 itors to the House of Eice and were 

 entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Bernard 

 Eschner at their home in Elkins Park. 



The new line of baskets manufac- 

 tured by the House of Kice has proven 

 so popular that they were forced last 

 week to add extra help to their already 

 large force of basket-makers. 



The new geranium, Helen Michell, 

 is meeting with favor among those 

 who know. 



Mrs. J. Carroll, Eleventh street and 

 Cedar avenue. Darby, has just bought 

 an International hot water boiler of 

 Ford & Kendig Co., Twenty-fourth and 

 Wood streets. It is rated at 5,000 feet. 

 The boiler is equipped with the Walter 

 air-balance system, a device for con- 

 trolling the temperature of the green-

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. 



Certain European growers of bulbs, 

 rhododendrons and flower seeds are anx- 

 ious to connect with some florist in the 

 neighborhood of New York to force 

 their products and have them in good 

 shape to be exhibited at the National 

 Flower Show, early in April, 1913, it

 stock as bulbs into flower in Holland or 

 England and then transport them in 

 that condition.

 many he will be able to handle and at 

 what price? I will then put him in 

 communication with the parties inter- 

 ested. 



Aside from the financial considera- 

 tion, I trust some florist will feel inter- 

 ested enough to take up this matter, as 

 it is the desire of the European seed and 

 bulb men to show some of the latest and 

 best novelties in their respective lines.

 ing where the exhibition will be held.
