MICHELL'S SEED HOUSE, 618 Market St, PHILADELPHIA Mention The Review when yon write. READING, PA. Business continues fair, with a good number of funeral orders evenly dis- tributed among the stores. Asters are uncommonly good in this section, some of them the largest ever seen here. Gladioli are in liberal supply and sell well. The prices are good, with America leading the lot. Building and repairs occupy the attention of many, and changes will be noted in the fall. J. Stanley Giles, the popular presi- dent of the Florists' Association, ac- companied by Mrs. Giles, have been en- joying a vacation at Atlantic City. The Heck brothers are at the famous resort and Mr. and Mrs. P. Blackman are summering at their bungalow at Cedar Hollow, near Moontown. Lee Arnold and family are spending their vacation near Ephrata, Pa. The annual picnic of the Reading Florists' Association will be held Aug- ust 17 at the estate of F. Baer, near Kutztown. The committee has spared nothing to make the outing a big one. Special cars have been chartered and a band of fifty-six pieces will be present ill day. The event in which most in- terest is centered is the baseball game between the Reading boys, captained by J. S. Giles, and the Kutztown regulars. However, there will be all the other games, and then some. H. C. H. AHEimON! OUR MOnO: "Your doHar's value."
