PHILADELPHIA- 



Various Items. 



The florists in this city report the 

 cut flower business still on the decline, 

 even transient trade seems to have 

 fallen off. thus the consequence is a 

 goneral glut of all kinds and colors of 

 cut stuff. There was an exceptionally 

 hot wave visited this city the past 

 week. The thermometer went well up 

 into the nineties in the shade and in 

 consequence there was an abundance 

 of stock on the market and very little 

 demand for it. 



Prices: Beauties. $1 to $?. per doz.; 

 Brides, Maids, Kaiserins, Golden 

 Gates, Meteors, |5 to |6 per 100; 

 Perles. $3 to $.5: Liberty, .$S to $15. 

 carnations, ordinary, $1 per 100; fan- 

 cies, $1.50 to $2; daisies. il..JO per 100; 

 callas and Harrisii. $8 to $10; mignon- 

 ' ette, $2 to $3; sweet peas. 50 to 75 

 cents per 100; adiantum, i cent; as- 

 paragus, 50 cents; smilax. 20 cents. 



A number of florists have quite a 

 Jew advance orders for Decoration 

 Day for the G. A. R. posts, both for 

 cut flowers and plants. 



Jacob Becker, of Fifty-second and 

 Market streets, will sail on June 30th, 

 on the steamer Weisland. for Bremen 

 for a two months' stay, and will take 

 in the Paris Exposition before he re- 

 turns. He will also look up azaleas 

 and other stock while on the other 

 side. Mr. B. has not been abroad in 

 seventeen years, and will, no doubt, 

 be benefited by the trip. 



Wm. H. Wyatt has rented a cottage 

 in the country for the summer. 



.1. G. Eisele. of Eleventh and Colum- 

 bia avenue, has been busy with fune- 

 ral work the past week. Herman Ei- 

 sele, the manager, deserves a great 

 deal of credit for the manner in which 

 he conducts the business. 



Aug. Lutz. 311 N. Thirty-second, has 

 been very busy the past week with 

 decorations and delivering bedding 

 stock. Mr. L. claims that business ex- 

 ceeds all previous years. 



Geo. E. Campbell, 3C01 Germantown 

 avenue, delivered three wagon loads of 

 bedding stock to one of the large ho- 

 tels for Hugh Graham. 'I'his stock is 

 used for vases and window boxes. 



J. Kohlers & Sons, of Frankford. 

 have their hands full with orders for 

 filling vases, hanging baskets, etc. 



Mr. Wm. C. Krick, of Brooklyn, N. 

 Y., favored us with a visit the past 

 week.
