Club Exhibits. 



The advantages of telegraphing, 

 whereby belated news of interest can be 

 brought before the Eeview readers as 

 certainly as though the event had not 

 occurred after the eleventh hour, are too 

 well known to need comment. The dis- 

 advantages are not so well known. Punc- 

 tuation is not used in telegraphy. The 

 effect is sometimes startling. Despite the 

 greatest care mistakes occur. Two ex- 

 hibits at the carnation meeting of the 

 Florists' Club, March 1, were thus con- 

 fused. One should have read: "Edward 

 C. Marshall, Kennett, Pa., exhibited Bea- 

 con; Winsor and his own white seedling, 

 known for several years in commerce 

 as Marshall 's White. ' ' The other should 

 have read: "The Millbrook-Lee Green- 

 houses, Maull & Howell, John Stanley, 

 grower, Whitford, Pa., exhibited the 

 white carnation, Georgia. ' ' 



The Rote Meeting. 



The annual meeting of the American 

 Rose Society will be held in New York 

 city on Wednesday, March 16, and two 

 following days at the Museum of Nat- 

 ural History. An unusually attractive 

 schedule of prizes has been arranged. 

 The growers from this city who have 

 signified their intentions of attending 

 and exhibiting include John R. Andr^, 

 Adolph Farenwald, Victor Groshens, Jo- 

 seph Heacock, Frank P. Meyers, Martin 

 Samtman and Edward Towill. They will 

 take the 7 a. m. train from the Reading 

 Terminal to New York on the morning 

 of March 16, some of them boarding that 

 train at Wayne Junction and others at 

 Jenkintown. Arrangements have been 

 made with the United States Express 

 Company to forward their exhibits 

 promptly from this train. All florists 

 desiring to join the party will be heart- 

 ily welcomed.

 their arrival March 17. Between 500 

 and 600 cases came in this week. 



William Lafferty, chauffeur for the 

 Pennock-Meehan Co., was stopped by the 

 strikers at Broad and Arch streets Mon-

 when he wanted it.
