in Horticultural 

 Under Mr. Bax- 



landscape gardener 



^all, Fairmount park. 



'" are a number of young men, chiefly 

 students of the University of Pennsyl- 

 vania, who fill the position of inspect- 

 ^^8, so to speak, during the summer. 



neir duties consist in examining the 

 J'ees in the streets of the city and re- 

 of7i°^ upon their condition. The aim 

 01 the legislation, under which the new 

 ^spaitment was created and for which 

 th ^JP^'opriation was made, is to secure 

 liouf^^ results from ^ee planting. Un- 

 i^i trees are to be removed; un- 



"itable trees are to be barred; diseased 

 ^^* are to be'sprayed. It will also be 



the aim. to get rid of the sprawling trees 

 that sometimes upset pedestrians who 

 are hurried or crowded off the center of 

 the sidewalk. Mr. Baxter's work will 

 not conflict with that of Mr. Lewis, who 

 has charge of the city squares. 



Mr. Bayersdorfer Abroad. 



H. Bayersdorfer has been hard at 

 work in his big warehouse ever since 

 his return from abroad. He has a 

 cheerful greeting for all his visitors 

 and assures them that , he has had, a 

 splendid trip and is glad to be home 

 again. Mr. Bayersdorfer said that he 

 was going to make a hit with his 



new Paris colors at the Chicago con- 

 vention. He showed some natty 

 French baskets in Paris colors and 

 others of the favor type with artistic 

 ornaments in these same colors. Mr. 

 Bayersdorfer said that immortelles 

 will be scarce and high during the 

 coming season. When asked whether 

 his house will have the goods he smiled 

 pleasantly and nodded. "I want you 

 to know," he added "immortelle con- 

 ditions. It is just this way: Last 

 sea'son there were a thousand cases 

 grown and 3,000 left in the dealers' 

 hands. This season there were 1,600 

 cases grown and thei:e are none left 

 in the dealers' hands." 



Various Notes. 



M. Rice & Co. have completed the 

 electric lighting of their new annex. 

 It is now connected with the main 

 building by bridges thrown across 

 from the second and third floors. Mr. 

 Eschner says that the advance orders 

 for the current month exceed those 

 of last year. Robert Shoch returned- 

 July 29 from his vacation spent at 

 Barnegat bay and has started on the 

 road. 



The fishing party at Waretown, on 

 Barnegat bay, last week made a rec- 

 ord. A mile a minute is the train 

 standard, a fish a minute the Ware- 

 town standard. The members of the 

 party were Commodore John Westcott, 

 Robert Craig, George Craig, D. C. Don- 

 ohue, Robert Kift and one other, I 

 disremember who, but think it must 

 have been G. C. Watson; he is always 

 in everything good that is going. 



Joseph G. Neidinger returned on 

 the Kaiser Wilhelm II a fortnight ago. 

 Mr, Neidinger spent six weeks in Eu- 

 rope, devoted strictly to business. He 

 combined the best European and Amer- 

 ican ideas in baskets and other things, 

 making the full use of his experience 

 to get results. Mr. Neidinger made 

 samples in the German basket facto- 

 ries from which his stock will come 

 and also made samples of wreaths of 

 new and original design. 



Recent visitors include Messrs. 

 Brown, of Brown Bros. Co., Vancouver, 

 B. C; Huesman, Reading, Pa., and 

 Seidewitz, Baltimore, Md. 



George Auegle, manager of the 

 Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., has re- 

 turned from his vacation full of vim 

 for the coming season. 



Edward, ja^d left New York, July 

 27 by steanler for the south, wfcere 

 he will remain for a couple of weeks 

 visiting his friends. Stuart Miller is
