selling up clean right along, and the 

 critics and hard-to-please have to take 

 a back seat for a minute. Cattleyas 

 and other orchids quite scarce. All the 

 outside subjects such as hydrangea, 

 gaillardia, centaurea, etc., very draggy. 

 Cosmos, the early flowering kind 

 (Woodside), is perhaps the only decent 

 seller in this class. Greens entirely 

 too plentiful. Wild smilax, new crop, 

 will make its advent next week, and 

 there is likely to be a good demand 

 for this tor early fall trade. Most of 

 the houses demand three days' notice 

 for deliveries on wild smilax. 



Cooler weather and 

 NEW YORK considerable rain fall 



have resulted in a 

 greatly improved quality in many ot 

 the items in the outdoor product com- 

 ing to this market, but nothing has 

 yet transpired to improve the sale of 

 these things and so the flower marts 

 are encumbered with asters ot high 

 and low degree, garden lilies, triton- 

 ias, hydrangeas, dahlias and gladioli, 

 which are moved with extreme difficul- 

 ty and often find their only outlet 

 through the dump cart, all o£ which 

 is extremely discouraging for the man 

 who grows them and sends them In. 

 At such times the wholesaler who con- 

 fines himself to greenhouse product 

 has the best of It, tor empty counters " 

 and boxes are preferable to stacks of 

 material going to waste. A certain 

 quantity of select Beauties, Maryland, 

 Kaiserln and Killarney roses, cattle-

yas, gardenias and lily of the valley, 

 can be disposed ot every day at re- 

 spectable figures, but there is almost 

 no use for the small roses from newly 

 planted stock which are being received 

 in large consignments and which are 

 well sold If disposed of at 25 to 50 

 cents a hundred. Carnations are as 

 yet, very insignificant both in quality 

 and quantity. Some of the asters are 

 simply superb. Lilies good and en- 

 joying only a moderate call. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



A distinguished visitor this week was 

 Adolphe Buyssens. Vilvorde, Belgium, 

 Professor of Agriculture and Horticul- 

 ture at that place. 



Samuel S. Pennock, of the S. S. Pen- 

 nock-Meehan Co., left last week for his 

 annual vacation which this year will be 

 mostly to down east points, including 

 Xova Scotia. He expects to be back 

 in Philadelphia by September 16th. 



W. K. Harris, we are happy to re- 

 port on the convalescent list. For the 

 first time in two months he was on 

 his afternoon hunting grounds at the 

 Florists' Club on the 31st ulto., where 

 he met and passed a pleasant hour 

 with his friends. 



Local exhibitors at Cincinnati say 

 that convention trade was very good 

 as to number of orders, but that big 

 buyers were conspicuous by their ab- 

 sence. The conventions need more of 

 the big retailers in attendance. How 



to interest them — that's the question. 

 A new outlet tor flowers is always 

 a pleasant item to chronicle. Growing 

 facilities tend to increase much faster 

 than agencies for distribution. Two- 

 new ones will start up this month, 

 namely, J. F. Leary (formerly of Bat- 

 tles) in the Hawthorne building, 39th 

 and Lancaster avenue, opening day 

 S -.It. 4th, and F. M. Ross now at 206 

 East Girard avenue who will move to 

 13 Fourth COth street and expects to 

 open there Sept. 15th, if not sooner. 

 Mr. Ross will continue the old store 

 as a branch. 



BOSTON GROWERS' MARKETS. 



The annual sale ot choice of stalls 

 at the Park street Market took place 

 last Saturday and in nuu'bpr of stalls 

 disposed of, average p;'ice of same and 

 aggregate amount received, was con- 

 siderably ahead ot anv previous year. 

 The capacity of the maikel has been 

 increased by a re-arraiisonneu: which 

 adds fourteen new stalls. 



The JIusic Hall Market sale of stalls 

 was held on the sam-i da;e. U was 

 much the biggest stile tliev have ever 

 had. Although the lii-st choices 

 brought lower ligu'cs than they did 

 last year the prices were steadier and 

 average premium paid vas consider- 

 ably 'ligher. It is expected that this 

 market will move on October 1st to 

 the basement of the new building now 

 being completed at No. 2 Park street.
