A two-story shed, 50x150 feet, ad- 

 joining the greenhouses, is used for 

 packing and storage. Gladioli in vast 

 numbers are wintered here. 



A feature outside is the large num- 

 ber of sash-covered hotbeds filled with 

 hardy plants in excellent condition. 

 Soon the grounds beyond will be alive 

 with perennials, destined to become an 

 important part of the Michell place at 

 Andalusia. The approach through the 

 rose walk, with its many climbing va- 

 rieties, will soon become one of the 

 prettiest attractions. 



The farm, now fully equipped and 

 in excellent running condition, com- 

 prises nearly thirty acres, with the pos 

 sibility of further additions as the 

 need for expansion arises. 



The advertising feature is kept con- 

 stantly in mind; a beautiful flower pic- 

 ture is prepared for the passengers on 

 the trains that dash by hourly each 

 way between two of the greatest cities 

 in this country. 



Mantua Way. 



Today there is some doubt exactly 

 where Mantua begins and where it 

 ends; there was none in the good old 

 days of Hestonville, and Southwark, 

 and Mantua, when our grandmothers 

 talk of Schuylkill, Sixth street and the 

 like. If you want to go to Mantua 

 today, or, to avoid argument, if you 

 want to get very warm indeed, call at 

 Henry Engler's and ask William H. 

 Engler to show you the lilies. They 

 are worth seeing, those lilies, and will 

 be particularly interesting to those who 

 know Mr. Engler only as a newspaper 

 man. They show how the other half 

 lives, or, to be more exact, what ex- 

 cellent use is made of the time that 

 is not devoted to the stub in the ink 

 pot. 



Various Notes. 



John R. Andre, of Doylestown, Pa., 

 will erect two greenhouses 35x250 feet 

 each, presumably for Killarney. 



The Retail Florists' Association suc- 

 ceeded in driving the street men back 

 last week; they now are endeavoring to 

 dislodge the Citv Hall stands.
