MICHELL'S PANSY SEEDS 



Chestnut Hili,, Pa., May 26. 1912. 

 To prove quality to myself I have been making test^ of various sowings of 

 Pansy seed bought from different firms In this country and In England. Am 

 pleased to be able to say, "Tour Glaat Kxhlbitlon Strain of Fansy Is by 

 far the best." They are simply magnificent In color and size and have a 

 good long stem. They are far ahead ot any other. Thinking this might interest 

 you, I am penning these lines. Yours very truly,

W. F. Gude announced that he and 

 Mrs. Gude desired to entertain the mem- 

 bers and their ladies at' a garden party 

 to be held on the lawn of his home,

 invitation was promptly accepted. Sec-

Various Notes. 



The automobile parade held June 7 in 

 conjunction with the convention of the 

 Knights of Columbus brought forth 

 some handsome examples of the florist's 

 art. Although F. H. Kramer and the 

 Gude Bros. Co. were the only retailers 

 in the flower line who had cars entered, 

 they and others were called upon to 

 decorate many of the cars. One of the 

 electric autos was made into the de- 

 sign of a basket, with artificial dahlias 

 over pink cheesecloth and with garlands 

 of ribbons, ferns and smilax. This was 

 done by Wm. Marche & Co. To Z. D. 

 Blackistone fell the work of making a
