The Weekly Florists' Review, 



I n't, iBER 12. 1899. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Trade Conditions. 



The retail florists report trade the 

 past week as being very good, both in 

 plants and cut flowers; there has been 

 a decided change in the cut flower 

 market, owing to the frost that made 

 its appearance in this locality, killing 

 most of the outside flowering stuff. 

 There is considerable funeral work be- 

 ing done; wedding decorations and 

 tea parties also have been numerous. 



The Market- 

 Beauties, $1.50 to $4 per dozen; 

 Brides and Maids, $2 to $5; Kaiserins, 

 $2 to $4; fancies bring $6 to $8; Me- 

 teors, $3 to $6; Perles, $4; Gontiers, 

 $3-; carnations, $1.50; fancy varieties, 

 $2; daisies, 75 cents to $1; adiantums, 

 $1; asparagus, 50 cents; smilax, 15 

 cents; double violets, 50 cents to $1; 

 valley, which has been scarce, $3 to 

 $5. 



Club Election. 

 The Florists' Club met Tuesday at 

 Horticultural Hall and elected these 

 officers for the ensuing vear; Presi- 

 dent, William K. Harris; vice-presi- 

 dent, John Wescott; secretary. Edwin 

 Lonsdale; treasurer, J. w. Colflcssh. 

 An interesting paper was read by 

 Henry F. Michell. describing his trip 

 to the seed farms of California.
