LUy Bulbs. 



The lily bulb market is in a state of 

 extreme agitation. Owing to well-known 

 conditions, the pritee has advanced to 

 an alarming extent. The reported loss 

 of a Japanese steamer containing a 

 large quantity of giganteum bulbs in- 

 tended for this country and the short 

 crop have made matters worse. There 

 is also a disposition on the part of the 

 growers and importers to make the most 

 of the market, due to the high prices 

 obtained for lilies last Easter. Whether 

 our growers will be willing to pay the 

 price asked for bulbs will soon be seen. 

 It is generally believed that many of 

 those who grow only a few lilies will 

 not buy bulbs this year, but that those 

 who grow lilies in large numbers will 

 continue to do so. 



A Little Bit of Fun. 



Samuel 8. Pennock tells the following 

 •tory of what occurred a few days ago in 

 his company's Philadelphia store: "A 

 grower who was on my right remarked 

 that he hoped that there would soon be 

 a frost. Almost at the same moment a 

 grower on my left said he hoped that 

 frost would be late this year. Neither 

 heard what the other said. I introduced 

 them, told each one what the other 

 had said, and then left them. ' ' 



Coal. 



A meeting of the representatives of 

 the soft coal miners and operators was 

 held in the ^ellevue-Stratford hotel 

 October 11. The miners demand a 6- 

 hour working day, a 5-day week and a 

 sixty per cent wage increase. The op- 

 erators declined. No agreement was 

 reached. The miners will strike No- 

 vember 1 to enforce their demands. 

 They expect 600,000 men to obey their 

 caU. 



Various Notes. 



The Baltimore Florists' Club invited 

 the members of the Philadelphia Flo- 

 rists' Club to attend its get-together 

 meeting, Tuesday, October 21. 



H. B^yersdorfer & Co. were delayed 

 in delivering their orders of European 

 goods by the stevedores' strike in New
