to attend the Cleveland convention of 

 the Society of American Florists, Aug- 

 ust 17 to 19. The members are asked 

 to advise E. P. Klinger, chairman of the 

 house committee, 120 Eace street, Phil- 

 adelphia, of their intention of going to 

 the convention. No plan of going in a 

 party is mentioned. 



Various Notes. 



Bernard Eschner, president of the M. 

 Eice Co., and Mrs. Eschner left this city 

 bound for the Great Lakes and Minne- 

 sota July 24. Mr. Eschner plans attend- 

 ing the Cleveland convention, his first 

 convention in eight years. 



David Fuerstenberg visited North 

 Wales July 23. He found one of his new 

 greenhouses completed. The other, 

 while progressing well, is delayed by a 

 carload of glass. 



Penelope, light pink, and Herada, 

 "blue," are the star gladioli of the 

 Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. this week. 



The Cumberland Valley Greenhouses, 

 of Portsmouth, Va., may be obliged to 

 close because of inability to get men to 

 operate them. 



The Joseph Heacock Co. has com- 

 pleted the filling and planting of its 

 new house, 70x600 feet, at Roelofs. 



Charles J. Theis believes that intelli- 

 gent efforts to develop summer business 

 are likely to prove successful. 



A disastrous fire threatened the Ran- 

 stead street wholesale commission houses 

 on the evening of July 22. Two fire- 

 men were killed and much property in a 

 Chestnut street store was destroyed. 

 Manager Deutscher, of the Exchange, 

 and Fritz, of Reid 's, saved a lot of val- 

 uable rugs, estimated to be worth thou- 

 sands of dollars, at great risk to them- 

 selves. 



The Philadelphia Wholesale Florists' 

 Exchange is receiving some fine Mrs. 

 Francis King and other varieties of 

 gladioli. Phil.

The Market. 



Midsummer heat, v/ith a number of 

 days with excessive humidity, has been 

 our lot the last week, and, under such 

 conditions, it was hardly to be expected 

 that much life could be galvanized into 

 the cut flower trade. Prices, however,

 ago, due in great measure to a still 

 further diminution in supplies. Roses 

 are small and of inferior quality. 

 Prices vary from $3 to $8 per hundred 

 on hybrid teas, a few fancy flowers mak- 

 ing a little more. The supply of carna- 

 tions has greatly dwindled and the best 

 flowers realize $3 to $4 per hundred. 

 Ward, Matchless and Morning Glow 

 hold up the best. 



Sweet peas are neither abundant nor 

 good. Select flowers make $1 to $1.50 

 per hundred. Gladioli from outdoors 

 will not be available for a few days and 

 indoor supplies are limited. Some nice 

 white and colored speciosum lilies are
