Magnolia leaves. Finest quality, lowest prices. Our magnolia leaves will please you. 



Magnolia wreaths. When skilled workmen make a magnolia wreath of the best leaves at moderate 

 cost, that wreath will please you. Try a good sized order. 



Cycas leaves. Our cycas leaves are recognized all over the country as the standard of excellence. 

 When you order them you are getting the best. 



Metallic designs. It is a business axiom today, that it is desirable for a customer to buy direct 

 from the producer. You can do this by ordering Memorial Day designs made in our own factory. They 

 are wonderfully well made, too, combining artistic skill and perfect workmanship.

that Mr. Westcott and his son did all 

 the concrete work for the houses last 

 summer; also that within a stone's 

 throw of their place is the original 

 Keifer pear tree from which so many 

 pears have come. 



Easter in the Park. 



George W, Carpenter looked placidly 

 down from his pedestal in a wing of 

 Horticultural hall, on a beautiful dis- 

 play. It was arranged before Palm 

 Sunday, so that the pre-Easter visitors 

 might not be disappointed. It was 

 really a spring show, arranged for ef- 

 fect. The primal ideas seem to be 

 that an abundance of green best adorns 

 blooming plants, so there were ferns, 

 palms and foliage plants sufficient to 

 lend, that softness to the whole so 

 restful to the eye. The east end wing, 

 always used for these exhibitions be- 

 cause of its convenience and suitable 

 size, was laid out quite differently from 

 the chrysanthemum show in the fall. 

 The flower picture was replaced by a 

 flower garden of brightest hue — lilies, 

 hydrangeas, azaleas, cinerarias and so 

 on through the list, all well grown and 

 well flowered. The feature of the show, 

 if that term may be used, was a little 

 nook on a side table, devoted to a 

 particularly well grown lot of Easter 

 lilies of even height, covered with 

 large flowers; the effect was of a white 

 altar on a bank of green, suggestive 

 of purity. Large crowds attended the 

 show, which is still open.

Various Notes. 



John Burton has purchased the Gil- 

 bert farm of sixty-five acres on Church 

 road, near Arlinghara Station, P. R. E., 

 about one mile northeast of his place 

 at Wyndmoor. He has not decided 

 what he will do with his new farm. 



The April meeting of the Pennsyl- 

 vania Horticultural Society was held in 

 Horticultural hall, on the evening of 

 April 16. 



H. Bayersdorfer has returned from 

 the middle west. He was cordially re- 

 ceived in Chicago and, with Mrs. 

 Bayersdorfer, was the recipient of cour- 

 teous attentions. In Pittsburgh, where 

 Mr. Bayersdorfer has not been for 

 many years, the changes and improve- 



ments were full of interest, the store 

 of the Smith Floral Co. proving espe- 

 cially interesting; Mr. Bayersdorfer 

 says he has never seen anything like it. 



Robert Bragg, one of our .rri8in.g 

 young men, who is with Berger Bros., 

 has announced his marriage to Miss 

 Jean Beam. Mr. Bragg 's personal 

 friends got the start of his business 

 friends in their good wishes. 



Benedict Gibbs has a sense of humor 

 that even the discouragement of a 

 bad Saturday can not quell. When 

 asked, "Is there anything cheerful!" 

 he promptly replied, "Only the sun," 

 which appeared at that moment from 

 behind a cloud. 



Robert Scott & Son has discarded 

 Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, replacing it
