Flower Market Reports 



fCoutinufd from paj;e 4J1) 



On the whole there 

 NEW YORK seems to be more busi- 

 ness doing and the 

 market has a tendency to be slightly 

 on the upward grade, but of course the 

 wholesalers are far from being really 

 busy. It is a relief to find that the 

 asters are about used up, but the glut 

 of dahlias is likely to be with us for 

 a few days yet. Roses are still im- 

 proving, white varieties being in de- 

 mand and but few to be obtained, 

 while colored sorts are plentiful. We 

 are getting now a good few chrys- 

 anthemums of very fair quality. Or- 

 chids have been plentiful this week, 

 but of course they have not been 

 wanted.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Harry and Frank Micliell, sons of 

 Fred J. Michell of the H. F. Michell 

 Co., started this week on a two-year 

 course in agriculture at state college. 

 By the time they get through they 

 will know something of the theoretical 

 as well as the practical. We trust 

 these two promising young men will 

 not get the idea that knowledge is the 

 end — but on the contrary only the be- 

 ginning — the means to an end.

 into their new premises at 166 W. 23rd 

 street. With a length of 100 feet and

 busy time with bulb order shipments 

 there is some work doing at 166.
