104 So. 13th Street, Philadelphia. 



I am in a position to handle any orders for Philadelphia or vicinity, either large or small; would 

 be pleased to have corespondent!! with the trade in general. 



Our facilities for handling orders either for flowers or plants, are of the very best.

BALTIMORE. 



We have gone back to the old refrain ; 

 clouds, rain ; rain, clouds. For five days 

 we have scarcely seen the sun and in one 

 night there was a rainfall of three and 

 a half inches. The temperature is low 

 and at night is suggestive of mildew, and 

 the impending necessity of early fires. 

 Flowers outside are greatly damaged by 

 the excessive moisture. 



Trade last week was lamentably short, 

 but on Saturday there was a little spurt. 

 Many persons are returning to their city 

 homes. This will have some effect on 

 business. The cool summer has been one 

 of general health; the mortality was 

 light, and the demand for funeral flow- 

 ers below the average. 



Golden Gate, under the conditions of 

 moderate temperature, has this season 

 proved itself a good summer rose, one 

 of the best paying varieties now grown. 



Certain wholesalers in a neighboring 

 city are sending flowers into this market, 

 "to be paid for if sold," whereat the in- 

 dignation of our home growers may be 

 imagined. 



Frank G. Berger and wife are off on 

 a sea trip to New Foundland, and Kich- 

 ard Vincent and wife are lately returned 

 from a European trip. 



Henry Pfister, formerly gardener at 

 the White House and now engaged in 

 business in Washington, and Charles 

 Dudley, of Parkersburg, W. Va., were in 

 town last week. 



are all eager for a reaction in business, 

 and it is hoped that fall business will 

 soon make its appearance. Outdoor 

 flowers, such as asters, gladioli, album 

 and rubrum lilies and short carnations 

 continue to be a glut and can be bought 

 at extremely low figures. Some very 

 good Kaiserin roses are sent in by Pat- 

 rick Maier. 



Notes. 



The Pittsburg Eose and Carnation 

 Co., at Bakerstown, is beginning to cut 

 some good American Beauties from the 

 new plants. 



At Blind Bros. ' place everything is in 

 fine condition. With a greater boiler 

 capacity than last year they anticipate 

 good results this season. 



B. L. Elliott is shipping the Pittsburg 

 Cut Flower Co. quantities of Shakes- 

 peare gladioli, of which the quality is 

 line. 



It is rumored that another new whole- 

 sale commission house is to be opened 

 in this city by one of the street Greeks. 



The lone fisherman, Phil Langhans, is 

 back again at his post. 



Thos. M. Ulam and wife left Satur- 

 day for New York. 



Visitors: John A. Steel, Uniontown:

Hoo-Hoo. 



North Wales, Pa. — Charles Kreible is 

 building an addition to his greenhouses 

 in the west end. 



Owosso, Mich. — Herbert Deal died 

 August 23, aged 35 years. His demise 

 was hastened by the tragic death of 

 Mrs. Deal a year ago.
