 fect harmony. 



Various Notes. 



The statement made last week that 

 the Chestnut Hill Floral Exchange had 

 closed is an error. It was made by the 

 former manager, who has left. 



Robert Crawford, Jr., took his em- 

 ployees to the theater to see ' 'The Man 

 from Home" March 1, closing a pleas- 

 ant evening with a banquet at the 

 Rathskeller. The affair was a great 

 success. Everyone invited accepted, ex- 

 cept one chap newly married, and every- 

 one had a good time. 



H. Bayersdorfer celebrated his fif- 

 tieth birthday March 1, or, properly 



speaking, it was celebrated for him. 

 Mr. Bayersdorfer was called on in hia 

 office, was presented with gifts and car- 

 ried off in state by his many friends, 

 while in the evening Mrs. Bayersdorfer 

 gave a party in his honor. It was all 

 surprising and nice. 



Victor Groshens will plant his new 

 500-foot house with American Beauties. 



Robert Craig returned from the Isle 

 of Pines March 1, decidedly better for 

 the trip. 



Alexander B. Scott returned from 

 Hot Springs, Va., March 7. 



L. B. Eastburn, of Kennett, Pa., lost 

 his barn and contents by fire March 4. 

 Fortunately house and greenhouses 

 were uninjured. 



Eugene Bernheimer has plenty of 

 nice Golden Gates from the Floral Ex- 



change, Edgely, Pa., a rose not often 

 seen now. 



William C. Herbert, Atco, N. J., re- 

 ports an unusually fine lot of dahlia 

 cuttings this month. 



Leo Niessen believes the crop of cut 

 Easter lilies will be large and of fine 

 quality. The vanguard is arriving. 



The president's cup, offered by 

 William Kleinheinz, and the Michell 

 trophy were displayed this week in the 

 window of the Henry F. Michell Co. 

 Both are for competition at the Na- 

 tional Flower Show in Boston, March 25. 



Edward Habermehl has the deep sym- 

 pathy of his host of business friends in 

 the death of Mrs. Habermehl, which oc- 

 curred this week. 



There was an excellent audien6e at 

 the meeting of the Florists ' Club March
