Maupay, Dressier, Knapp, McQueen, Curtain, Siddell, 
Baumann, Laughlin, Weiss, Hendricks, McDowell, Warren, 
Kinnier, Grassie, Cochrane, Joyce, Burton, Motsch, and 
other well known resorts for Germantown flower lovers, have 
disappeared completely. Upon Old York Road the Hugh

Henry A. Miller, William E. Christman, Henry C. 
Marchant, E. J. F. Zeigler, R. Jamison & Sons, and William 
Wunder, w T ho long alone upon Haines Street near Pittville, 
is now surrounded by eleven other professional flower- 
growing establishments, we dare not stop to name. This of
