The improvement 

 PHILADELPHIA noted in our last 



week's report still 

 continues— with supplies fully equal in 

 most lines — which accounts tor the 

 price equilibiium. The only items that 

 have hardened up are American Beauty 

 roses, lily of the valley, and orchids. 

 All the other staples have so increased 

 in quantity that prices have remained 

 stable. Good judges claim that on an 

 average prices are not nearly as good 

 as they were this time a year ago. We 

 have not compared them; but are in- 

 clined to believe that is correct. A 

 spurt in the demand for American 

 Beauty roses was in evidence last 

 Thursday — the Jewish new year. When 

 the sons of Israel can jimmy-coggle 

 the flower market of the Quaker city 

 during the slack season, it is a sign 

 of the times, and compels us all to 

 lake notice of changing social condi- 

 tions. Dahlias are in very large supply 

 and of splendid quality. There Is a 

 noticeable improvement in these as the 

 days go by and they are now astonish- 

 ing as to equality and variety. The 

 early chrysanthemums have a hard row 

 to hoe against the dahlias. Asters are 

 yet very fine — in spots — but there is an 

 immense influx of medium to poer 

 flowers. On the whole, we think the 

 asters do not size up to last year's 

 record tor quality — probably on account 

 of the dry summer. We have seen no 

 such Cregos this season as we did last

year. One of the best lately seen is 

 Violet King, a variety of the late- 

 branching type: a lovely shade of soft 

 violet, with large, very double, perfect- 

 ly formed flowers. Pink roses are too 

 plentiful. White roses are a healthier 

 proposition and sell up fairly well. 

 Meteors are fair. Nothing good in 

 Richmond yet. Carnations few and far 

 between — ill-clad, wistful and solitary 

 — they ought to stay home until feath- 

 ers are grown. Enchantress, White 

 Perfection, Pink Enchantress, and 

 Crocker are the boldest. Very few reds 

 have dared to show their heads. Sweet 

 peas from the nearby mountain dis- 

 tricts are a charming addition — in lav- 

 ender, pink and white — to the local 

 market. They are good stuff and are 

 apparently e.xciusive with one house; 

 but they are there in ten thousand lots 

 daily. A few violets have made their 

 appearance — small but fragrant. Cat- 

 tleyas and dendrobiums more plentiful,, 

 but not yet enough tor the demand. 

 There is a good call for hydrangea 

 heads for store decoration. Cosmos, 

 tritoma, gladiolus, tuberose, water lily, 

 and dozens of other minor subjects, 

 make up the weekly symphony and find 

 more or less favor. Polly Rose and 

 many other new chrysanthemums will 

 add to the gaiety in a few days. 



Other than an occa- 

 NEW YORK sional spasmodic scur- 

 ry which awakens 

 hope of more permanent activity but 

 little has yet transpired to indicate 

 that summer is past and that it is time 



to "get a move on.'' Wholesalers are 

 touring the country looking after their 

 fences all the way from Hoboken to 

 Phinebeck and growers with unsettled 

 ideas but alert faculties are slying 

 around the wholesale district in the 

 city, so it is evident that, as they say 

 in the club meetings, things will even- 

 tually "take the usual course," but it 

 requires patience at the present time. 

 Some things have shortened up in sup- 

 ply and thus relieved the market some- 

 what and the quality of greenhouse 

 product has greatly improved. Roses 

 arei being shipped in large quantities 

 to the wholesalers now and selling 

 rates are very low.
