with it, and you will be surprised how 

 much can be accomplished. 



But, you say, what has the heading 

 to do with all this! Simply this: One 

 of our brightest plantsmen remarked 

 one day this week that azaleas could 

 be grown in certain sections of New 

 Jersey, where peat and water abound, 

 just as well as in Belgium. He further 

 added that he was sure such a venture 

 could be made profitable, despite the 

 cheaper labor of Europe. The stock 

 would be grown outdoors, where it 

 could get plenty of water. Sufficient 

 glass would be required to house the 



plants in winter. In support of this 

 statement, the wonderful improvement 

 shown in carried-over azaleas, when 

 properly handled, was instanced. An- 

 other of our leading plantsmen, one of 

 the master minds in the profession, 

 heartily supported this idea, adding 

 that it would take knowledge as well 

 as capilal and, with a humorous twin- 

 kle in his eye, a hide quite impervious 

 to the mosquito. 



Progress at Biverton. 



Henry A. Dreer awarded a contract 

 to the King Construction Co., Septem- 



ber 8, as readers of this column may 

 remember, for two acres of glass at the 

 new farm near Riverton, N. J. This 

 contract calls for completion of the 

 whole undertaking, greenhouses, sheds, 

 boilers and all piping, by December 15. 

 Such rapid progress has already been 

 made that J. D. Eisele, vice-president 

 of the Dreer corporation, spoke hope- 

 fully of the probability that the con- 

 tract would be completed on time and 

 a new record established. The service 

 house, of the latest King type of con- 

 struction, has been completed and work 

 is being pushed on the adjoining ranges. 

 The heat will be furnished by five 

 seventy-five horse-power horizontal tu- 

 bular boilers set on the surface of the 

 ground and working under forced cir- 

 culation by means of a centrifugal 

 pump. E. H. Michel is in charge of 

 this department of Dreer 's. The new 

 establishment will be a model of effi- 

 ciency and economy. 



Various Notes. 



The Stokes Seed Store will hold a fall 

 show at 219 Market street, October 10 

 and the five following days. Mr. Stokes 

 expects to have fine vegetables, fruits and 

 dahlias from his growers of Mount Holly 

 and Moorestown. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. announces 

 that it will vacate 1018 Market street 

 October 31, removing the entire business 

 to the new store at 518 Market street. 



W. E. McKissick will take charge of 

 the Washington branch of the S. S. 

 Pennock-Meehan Co. 



C. D. Mills and Mrs. Mills made a brief 

 sojourn in this city on their way home to 

 Jacksonville, Fla.
