in baskets of corresponding color. 

 These, with a few small ferns scattered 

 between, made a most attractive show. 



J. J. Habermehl's Sons had a win- 

 dow which was simplicity itself. A 

 large, low basket of Dreer's White 

 dahlia was on the right, Orange King 

 showed up splendidly in the center, 

 with Jack Rose on the left. With some 

 autumn foliage, this dahlia window 

 showed up to advantage. 



Frank L. Polites used goldenrod and 

 double and single dahlias to attract 

 passers-by. 



H. H. Battles had made one of his 

 large windows into a picture. He had 

 a beautiful wide gold frame to fit the 

 glass, with velvet for the sides, bottom 



and back. One beautiful white vase 

 was in the center, with .just enough 

 Easter lilies to make each one seen. 

 A cattleya was carelessly laid on the 

 vase's pedestal, which added greatly to 

 this charming picture. 



The Century Flower Shop window 

 was of filled twig baskets of dahlias, 

 which makes them as attractive as 

 growing plants. 



Charles Henry Fox had a unique 

 show, as usual. He had a picnic basket 

 filled with large white grapes and a 

 bottle, with Lyndhurst dahlias in all 

 the nooks. It was most pleasing. A 

 jar of single dahlias set on black velvet 

 behind a mission frame was worthy of 

 notice. One window was entirely de- 

 voted to "our way of sending flowers." 



One placard giving Mr. Fox's advice 

 about sending flowers said: "Don't 

 send yellow flowers to a blond; they 

 are better suited for a brunette." 



The Chestnut street shops favored 

 dahlias and asters for their openings. 



Some Dahlia Ideas. 



Apropos of the dahlia show of Henry 

 F. Michell Co. this week Maurice 

 Fuld, whose record in Boston has earned 

 him an enviable reputation, was inter- 

 viewed on the subject. Mr. Fuld's idea 

 is that the Philadelphia dahlia lover is 

 restricted in his varieties by the needs 

 of the flower market. He thinks there 

 are many beautiful but not free flower- 

 ing or self colored varieties that would 

 be a revelation to dahlia growers here. 

 He hopes to prove that these choice 

 varieties can be grown under climatic 

 and soil conditions existing here and, 

 should they succeed, to introduce them. 

 When asked as to the types of these 

 dahlias Mr. Fuld smilingly replied that 

 those who walk want show dahlias, 

 those who drive want cactus dahlias, 

 while the motorists demand decorative 

 and peony-flowered varieties. 



The second annual dahlia show given 

 by the Henry F. Michell Co., 1018 Mar- 

 ket street, opened September 27. Two 

 hundred fine flowers of the best varie- 

 ties were staged, shaped boxwood giv- 

 ing a pretty background. Garden and 

 greenhouse requisites were shown to 

 their best advantage. The company gave 

 prizes to gardeners who wished to ex- 

 hibit. Robert J. Morrow, gardener to 

 Geo. I. Bodine, of Chestnut Hill, won 

 first for twelve varieties. Wm. Robert- 

 son, gardener to J. W. Pepper, won first
