tiny signs of the "keep off the grass"

 sowing sweet peas and lawn grass seed 

 should be the first spring thoughts.

Miss Johnson gave the Germantown 

 Horticultural Society a carefully pre- 

 pared account of "Tropical Gardens I 

 Have Seen on Tour Around the 

 World," at Association hall on the 

 evening of March 11. 



Elof Klein has a new fern, Adiantum 

 Matador, imported from Germany. It 

 is asserted that this fern will give A. 

 hybridum a race for popularity. Mr. 

 Klein is running the old Singerly green- 

 houses, at Gwynedd Valley, Pa. This 

 fern was exhibited by Adolph Muller 

 at the March meeting of the Florists' 

 Club. At the same meeting Edward A. 

 Stroud exhibited a vase of soft pink 

 snapdragon of charming shade. 



Herman Reisert, who has a neat shop 

 at 2003 Fairmount avenue, is one of 

 the old-timers. He remembers the days 

 when designs were made on barrel 

 hoops and crosses of cast-off wire or 

 lath, and can tell entertaining stories 

 of the progress in floriculture since 

 those days.
