President A. S. Gray invites the 

 wholesalers and supply men to be on 

 hand with their choicest offerings. He 

 also invites florists of neighboring 

 states to meet with the Oklahoma flo- 

 rists. The occasion is expected to be 

 a gala one in Tulsa. 



PHILADEUHIA. 



The Market. 



The extreme heat, coming so early, 

 had a far-reaching effect on the market. 

 Flowers are most plentiful; outdoor 

 flowers are especially so, favored by an 

 unusual growing season. Keally choice 

 flowers of varieties and qualitj' suitable 

 for weddings and for commencements 

 are in demand at good prices. All other 

 flowers sell more cheaply than usual at 

 this season. The volume of business for 

 the week was about equal to that of last 

 year for the same week, with something 

 like one-half more flowers in the mar- 

 ket. 



Beauties, fine roses, orchids, valley 

 and outdoor sweet peas, when good, are 

 in demand. Other flowers sell slowly. 

 There is much soft stock that is a source 

 of worry and loss. 



Peonies are coming out of cold stor- 

 age in only fair condition. Some are 

 all right, but others give trouble. Most 

 of the indoor sweet peas have ceased to 

 give pleasure. Late as it is, callas and 

 snapdragons are still holding on. Lark- 

 spur is extremely fine, plentiful and 

 quite cheaj). Outdoor flowers are com- 

 ing in by the wagonload. 



Lancaster to Riverton. 



From Lancaster, Pa., to Riverton, 

 N. J., there is something like 150 miles, 

 but tliat was not too much for a day's 

 outing for fifty Lancastrians. Thurs- 

 day, June 8, the Lancaster Florists' 

 Club, ladies and men, in ten motors 

 started dark and early. Their first stop 

 was at Strafford, where they were met 

 by Edwin J. Fancourt, Alvah R. Jones, 

 Clarence T'. Liggit and Raymond I. 

 Mayliew, in two cars, and visited Al- 

 fred M. Campbell 's Strafford Flower 

 Farm. They then crossed the Dela- 

 ware into New Jersey and visited the 

 large establishment of Henry A. Dreer, 

 Inc., at Riverton and Riverview, wliere 

 they spent several hours. Returning, 

 some of the party stopped in Philadel- 

 phia. It was a wondrous and long-to- 

 be-remcmbercd day. 



The Mothers' Day Report. 



The Mothers' daj' advertising cam- 

 paign will rank as one of the achieve- 

 ments of th.: ]iresent administration. 

 In exactly ten d;iys after the commit- 

 tee had been appointed, the work was 

 successfully comjiletcd. The report of 

 the chairman of the committee, Edward 

 Reid, given at the .Tune meeting of the 

 club, was a model; $l,70o had been 

 subscribed, .$].;"iOO paid in; $1,.jOO ex- 

 pended on the various forms of ad- 

 vertising. No regrets; no explanations; 

 everyone felt that the work had been 

 well done.
