rented the greenhouses of Oscar Young, 

 at McKinlej, Pa. They will take pos- 

 session July 1. The place will be xised 

 to supply stock for their Overbrook busi- 

 ness. One of the brothers, Walter von 

 den Hengel, was formerly with J. J. 

 Habermehl's Sons. 



John Berger says that the past season 

 has been satisfactory for bulbous flowers 

 excepting daffodils. 



George D. Clark, of Henry A. Dreer, 

 Inc., injects a vein of humor into a busi- 

 ness letter when he says that a package 

 contains ' ' 10,000 seeds by actual count. ' ' 



It eeems reasonably certain that most 

 of the peonies will be on time for 

 Memorial day, which will be vastly bet- 

 ter than having a big crop late. 



Thomas Potts, of the Floracroft Gar- 

 dens, says that the frosts of March 29 

 and 30 have reduced the peony crop to 

 about one-third. Phil.

The Market. 



From the growers' standpoint too 

 much stock with unsatisfactory prices 

 was the state in which the market was 

 found last week, but the retailers were 

 well satisfied with the conditions. As the 

 writer studied the situation he could not 

 help feeling that this state of affairs is 

 not to the best interest of the trade in 

 general. "One man's loss is another's 

 gain" may be a true saying, but in an 

 industry such as the florists' it would 

 seem that if the supply and demand were 

 more evenly balanced it would be to the 

 advantage of all concerned. It is true 

 that the cost of production is not so 

 great at this season, but we must remem- 

 ber that only one item of this cost has 

 been eliminat d. That is coal and mucn 

 of that has been used in bringing plants 

 to their present perfection, so that this 

 item is not entirely eliminated. There 

 was a great deal of stock sold last week 

 for less than it cost to produce it. Then, 

 on the other hand, it is not good business 

 from the retailers' standpoint to have 

 stock cheapened. The time is bound to 

 come when conditions will be back to 

 normal and then it will be hard to re- 

 establish prices. 



Sweet peas could not be moved at any 

 price; the quality, in most cases, was 

 showing the effects of the advanced sea- 

 son. Carnations were holding up well, 

 but were in larger supply than the de- 

 mand could take care of. Eoses, too, 

 continued fine in quality, but these, like 

 everything else, had to be kept moving 

 at prices that brought little comfort to
