Our growers are cutting 

 Roses in larger quantity, and 

 more of the better grades. 

 The supply still consists 

 mostly of the short and me- 

 dium grades. 



HADLEY we can furnish 

 yon in all grades. The Spe- 

 cial and Fancy grades are 

 rery fine. 



Roses show an improve- 

 ment in quality and we can 

 fill your orders to your satis- 

 faction.

GREENHOUSE-GROWN ASTERS 



OF EXCEPTIONALLY FINE QUALITY 



The supply of good Asters has increased consider- 

 ably, and from now on they will be ample until the end 

 of the season. A few weeks ago we had a quantity; 

 now Quality is more in evidence, and the latter is the 

 more desirable. The Best Asters are the indoor-grown 

 stock. You will find them exceptionally fine. 



Gladioli 



You are obliged to carry some stock during the 

 summer months, and you have less risk of loss in Gla- 

 dioli than any other flowers you can buy. We have all 

 the standard varieties, especially Augusta, America, 

 Halley, Francis King, Schwaben, Pendleton, etc.

Rubrum 

 Lilies 



They are inexpensiye and 

 very desirable for design 

 work. We have them in 

 quantity, both in long and 

 short stems. Pink Lilies 

 make a good showing and 

 on account of their good 

 keeping quality they 

 should be used more freely.

PHILADELPHIA. 



Tbe Market. 



The feature of a listless market was 

 the shortening up of the rose crop. 

 There was just enough business to make 

 the decrease in the supply of roses felt, 

 although roses are only a poor third on 

 the list of varieties. 



Asters have succeeded gladioli as the 

 leading variety of flower. The Semple 's 

 and the astermums are so much better 

 than the early varieties of asters that 

 they placed this sterling summer flower 

 in the van. The fag end of the crop of 

 the early varieties is giving lots of 

 trouble and little return. They have no 

 show against the finer flowers. With 

 the finer varieties past the height of 

 their season, gladioli have dropped back 

 into second place. There are good gla- 

 dioli in plenty, and there will be good 

 gladioli for weeks to come, but the 

 height of the crop is over. 



These are the features of a dull mar- 

 ket. Beyond that, it is interesting to 

 note that the price of fancy Premier, 

 25 cents, is just half that of Beauties, 

 long-stemmed, and that ordinary or- 

 ohids are scarce at $1 each.

Off to Detroit. 



Philadelphia is represented at Detroit 

 this week by a good delegation of ex- 

 hibitors, but only by a corporal's guard 

 of others. There was no made up party, 

 the travelers going in groups of two 

 and three, occasionally more. They left 

 the city August 16, 17 and 18, by divers 

 routes. Those who are known to have 

 gone include John Albrecht, of Pen- 

 coyd; J. W. Bachman, I. M. Bayersdor- 

 fer, Cornelius Van der Breggan, Bobert
