Fred W. Cowperthwaite, Pennsyl- 

 vania state vice-president of the B. A. 

 F., has issued a strong appeal to all 

 florists to join the national society to 

 secure much needed action for the gen- 

 eral welfare at* this critical time. Mr. 

 Cowperthwaite urges the importance of 

 attending the New York meeting Au- 

 gust 21 to 24. 



Paul Berkowitz believes that the mid- 

 season meetings of the S.' A. F., when 

 held in centrally located cities, give ex- 

 hibitors a better chance than the early 

 spring meetings held in connection with 

 the national flower shows.

The Market. 



There was plenty of stock last week 

 to meet the demand, which was light. 

 Quality was far from good and the 

 prices were low. Roses, with few excep- 

 tions, were small and weak-stemmed. 

 These sold as low as $2.50 per thousand. 

 The bulk of the arrivals sold from this 

 low figure to $1 per hundred. The few 

 first-class arrivals sold at the usual fig- 

 ures. 



American Beauties showed improve- 

 ment in quality. Quantities of outdoor 

 roses are arriving, mostly Crimson Ram- 

 blers and Dorothy Perkins. Jacquemi- 

 nots are done. One firm handled more 

 than 60,000 of them in one day. The 

 average price was 50 cents per hundred. 

 Large shipments of carnations still are 

 arriving. The bulk sold at 25 cents 

 per hundred July 7- The best carna- 

 tions last week did not realize more 

 than $1.50 per hundred. 



Good gigas were scarce and were sell- 

 ing at from 50 cents to 60 cents each 

 July 7. Other orchids were abundant 

 and sold at low prices. Valley con- 

 tinues scarce and the selected brings 

 from $5 to $6 per hundred. The 

 end of last week found lilies^ scarce 

 and good stock sold at $4 per hun-
