The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JULY 6, 1899. 



It is noble and good to behold men 

 of the stamp of Dr. Wentworth, of 

 Chicago, Mr. Loring of Minneapolis, 

 Mr. Holden of Cleveland, and a score 

 of other venerable gentlemen devoting 

 their time, ability and money for the 

 good not only of their own cities but 

 for the advancement and usefulness of 

 the people's parks throughout the 

 land. Our parks are our greatest civ- 

 ilizers and educators. 



Correction. 



In my notes of last week the type 

 made me say "Florists' Fooling Char- 

 ity Organization." There is no "fool- 

 ing" about it. It should have read 

 "Pooling," not " fooling." W. S. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



Trade has been exceptionally dull 

 during the past week, there being lit- 

 tle or nothing doing. Commencements 

 and weddings seem to have become a 

 thing of the past; the seashore seems 

 to be the only thing that takes now. 



Meteors, Brides, Bridesmaids and 

 Kaiserins, bring from $2 to $4 per 100; 

 the finest bring ?5. Beauties are very 

 poor; they bring from 75 cents to $1 

 per dozen; extras bring $2 per dozen. 

 Carnations bring from 50 to 75 cents 

 per 100; some of the fancier varieties 

 bring $1.50. Valley goes at ?3 and $4 

 per 100; sweet peas are very poor, sell- 

 ing at 20 and 50 cents per 100; smilax, 

 12V6 and 15 cents per string; asparagus 

 brings 35 to. 50 cents; adiantum cu- 

 neatum $1 per 100; water lilies $4 to 

 ?5 per 100. 



Samuel Pennock reports some few 

 asters coming in but are very small. 



Mr. Chas. Fox, Sr., has taken charge 

 of his Broadway street store again. 



REMOVAL. 



Messrs. M. Rice & Co., the importers 

 and manufacturers of florists' sup- 

 plies, Philadelphia, will remove on or 

 about July 15th to their new centrally 

 located, five story building at 918 Fil- 

 bert St., where they will have double 

 their present facilities and be in a po- 

 sition to handle their large and in- 

 creasing business to much better ad- 

 vantage. 



IRON PIPE. 



The advance in the price of glass 

 has been decidedly left in the shade 

 by the advance in the price of iron 

 pipe. The pipe combination seems 

 hard to satisfy. Since January 1 the 

 price of steam pipe has been advanced 

 no less than 140 per cent, and there 

 are no weak spots to be found any- 

 where in the combine. 



TOLEDO, O— The park board has 

 asked for an appropriation of $15,000 

 with which to complete the new 

 greenhouses in Walbridge Park.
