1612-14-16-18 Ludlow St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



plentiful, but small, and the price re- 

 mains the same, $1 per 100. with a few 

 fancy grades going at $1.50. Quite a 

 lot of Scotts were sold the past week 

 for commencements, the color being 

 just right, while white has been in 

 good demand for funeral work, which 

 has been plentiful with some of the 

 West End florists. Sweet peas are 

 still a great glut and, though the 

 price is down to 25 cents per 100, 

 many of them go to the dump pile, es- 

 pecially the darker shades. The light- 

 er shades sell better, as they can be 

 used for any kind of work. 



Fred Ammann has a house of 1,500 

 American Beauties planted which are 

 in fine shape, and his Perles, too, are 

 in splendid condition. 



Frank Fillmore is replanting and 

 will stick to his big four combination. 

 Brides, Woottons, Perles and Brides- 

 maids. This year he is going to try a 

 few Beauties. 



Ostertag Bros., who left last week to 

 furnish the Keren wedding at Elkins, 

 W. Va., bought nearly all their stock 

 at Chicago, Philadelphia and New 

 York, and from the accounts in the 

 daily papers the affair must have been 

 an elaborate one. They are expected 

 home this week and then we shall hear 

 more about it. 



H. M. Schisler, B. P. Cornelli and 

 C. E. Prunty returned from Chicago, 

 where they attended the meeting of 

 the American Seed Trade Association. 

 They are much pleased with their trip. 



R. J. Mohr. of the Missouri Botani- 

 cal Garden, left for Philadelphia Sat- 

 urday night with the Turners, to be 

 gone ten days. 



The florists of St. Louis and vicinity 

 should not fail to advise J. W. Kunz, 

 at 504 Olive street, if they have any 

 intentions of going to the S. A. F. 

 convention this year, as Mr. Kunz is 

 making arrangements to get the best 

 rates that can possibly be obtained.

PHILADELPHIA. 



There has been no perceptible 

 change in business from last week, al- 

 though the orders for decorations, 

 placed in anticipation of the Republi- 

 can convention which is being held 

 here this week, have helped the retail 

 stores and served to break the dullness 

 in the trade this w-eek.

 dozen; Brides, Maids, Meteors, Golden 

 Gate, $1 to $5: Kaiserins, $4 to |5;
