PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market, 



The cool weather, our Soulier boys 

 and a decided improvement in busi- 

 ness are welcome arrivals of the past 

 week. Stock is better too. It is a 

 pleasure to otter some of it. Beauties 

 are a little more plentiful, $1.50 is the 

 price for the best. Very few tea roses 

 of this summer's planting are offered 

 yet. Better so. they are growing 

 splendidly. This is great rose weather; 

 bright, clean days and cool enough for 

 a little gentle heat some nights; they 

 will show the effect later. The grafted 

 Brides and Maids will now furnish 

 longer stems than have been seen here 

 in former years at this season. 



Carnations are becoming more plen- 

 tiful, just in the nick of time, for 

 asters are getting single. 



Asparagus is seen in quantity, both 

 plumosus and Sprengerii, but smilax 

 is scarce and in demand at 1.5 cents 

 a string. Why don't the Chester 

 county growers take up this standard 

 green? It has all the necessary quali- 

 ties to prove successful with them; 

 first and foremost, being that it can 

 be safely shipped to this market. It 

 is easily grown; if handled properly 

 should be plentiful, when labor and 

 taxes are not too expensive, and when 

 ready to cut it can be held for several 

 weeks on the plants, if necessary. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' ' Club meeting, on 

 Tuesday, was well attended by the big 

 euns. The otticers were all renomin- 

 ated for another term. The mem- 

 bers present, who had been at Omaha, 

 Messrs. R. Craig, J. Westcott, J. P, 

 Habermehl. and C, Longinotti, gave 

 interesting accounts of their expe- 

 riences, both during the meeting and 

 in chat afterwards. 



Bowling. 



The bowling team, consisting of J. 

 P. Habermehl. Geo. Craig. Robeit 

 Kift, A. L. Brown. John Walker and 

 D. T. Connor, went to New York, on 

 Saturday, and won in the tournament 

 given by the New York Gardeners' 

 Society, on the regulation alleys of 

 the Central Opera House. Six clubs 

 competed and some fine scores were 

 made. Captain J. P. Habermehl cap- 

 tured the prize for the best score, 

 with 203. and also the best average, 

 •with 192. Well done, bovs!

A LETTER FROM A 



...Chrysanthemum Prize Winner. 



"Tlie cutting was struck in January and put in a -l-inch pot 

 about the first of February. Five weeks later it was shifted 

 into a ti-inch pot; in May being given another shift into an 8- 

 inch pot. in pure Jadoo Fibre. Later shifts were made in the 

 same material, and about August 1 the plant received its final 

 shift into a 13-inch pot. in which it was exhibited. When the 

 buds were set I started watering with Jadoo Liquid according 

 to directions about twice a week, gradually increasing the 

 strength until the blooms were half developed, when a little 

 of the Liquid in a much weakened form was given."

HUNT'S REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MAR- 

 KET. 



The market has seen quite a change in the 

 past week. Increased demand and a shortening 

 up of stock has tended to make prices higher. 

 This is especially true of Brides, there being 

 a heavy demand from all sides. Other rose 

 stock is in fair supply, although some is show- 

 ing the effect.s of the heat of ten days ago. 

 Carnations at present are not overplentiful. 

 because of planting, but indications point to a 

 sutTicient supply and of a good quality. 



The recent rains have made a noticeable im- 

 provement in the quality of asters; some of 

 the Semples are almost as large as "Mums." 

 Pinks move slower than other colors. Valley 

 and Violets are not abundant yet, but the de- 

 mand is not heavy. 



The week shows a large 

 corresponding week of last y< 

 weather conditions are also bette
