Various Notes. 



Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis, last 

 week sent a fine bunch of St. Nicholas, 

 their new crimson red carnation, to 

 S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. The blooms 

 were large and handsome, attracting 

 attention by their showy appearance. 



Fire destroyed the boiler and pot- 

 ting-shed, two houses and much valua- 

 ble stock at the Thaddeus N. Yates & 

 Co. greenhouses, Mt. Airy, Sunday, De- 

 cember 17, at 6 a. m. The fire is be- 

 lieved to have originated from a care- 

 lessly thrown match. The fire compa- 

 nies responded immediately, and saved 

 the other buildings, but, unfortunately, 

 destroyed many plants with their 

 chemicals. Mr. Yates estimated his 



firm's loss as follows: Boiler-shed and 

 greenhouses, about $3,000, eighty per 

 cent covered by insurance; stock, not 

 covered by insurance, 200 rhododen- 

 drons, 200 azaleas for Christmas, 2,000 

 table ferns and 25,000 nice geraniums. 

 Great sympathy is felt for Walter 

 Yates, whose enterprise has pushed the 

 firm into business prominence. Plans 

 are under way for rebuilding. The boil- 

 ers were not damaged. 



The annual meeting of the Pennsyl- 

 vania Horticultural Society was held in 

 Horticultural hall on the evening of 

 December 19. Plans were discussed for 

 the coming exhibitions and officers were 

 elected for 1912.
