Adolph MuUer, of the De- kalb Nurseries, had a group of pretty evergreens. ^. i. j xx, Mrs. Fitz Eugene Dixon captured the society's gold medal with a group of orchids, the Roebling collection. Yesterday. All the greenhouses around Philadel- phia were devoted to miscellaneous col- lections, so to speak, of potted plants and cut flowers. Almost all the florists had some chrysanthemums in the fall, some roses and carnations in winter; some Easter plants followed; last and most important of all, some geraniums and other soft-wooded plants for filling beds and boxes. Nearly everyone felt obliged to take boarders, sick or well, and grumbled about it. Everybody had everything and nobody had anything in winter. Our cut flowers at that season came from Boston and from New York. Then came a change. Wide-awake, far- seeing growers saw possibilities for the future. Edwin Lonsdale and John Burton formed a partnership. They built a greenhouse at Wyndmoor, where the soil was good and the air was pure, expressly to grow specialties for the wholesale cut flower market in Philadel- phia. They ignored tradition. They put all their glass into carefully selected varieties of winter-flowering plants and allowed those who came for a geranium or a lemon verbena to go away empty- handed, without even a sigh. They had flowers in winter when nobody else had them. Thpy had them in quantity and they prospered. American
