PHILADELPHIA. 



The Eastern Market. 



The retail florists complain that there 

 are times when it is difficult to obtain 

 enough material to give their work 

 needed variety, a complaint that has 

 much truth in it. The hot, dry weather 

 of the early summer wound up some in- 

 <loor crops before the new crops came 

 into bloom, and ruined many early 

 asters. Lancaster county is furnishing 

 an increasing supply of asters, but more 

 could be used, particularly of the finer 

 grades. Gladioli are in strong supply 

 and are being used freely at fair prices. 

 The quality and variety are excellent. 

 Easter lilies are plentiful at moderate 

 prices. Valley and Cattleya Gaskelliana 

 also are in fair supply. Down east 

 sends Beauties and New York state 

 sends sweet peas. Both are useful. 

 Among the best summer carnations 

 noted are White Perfection, Mrs. C. W. 

 Ward and Victorj-. Kaiserin, Maryland 

 and Double White Killarney lead the 

 roses. Good roses are scarce, poor ones 

 plentiful. The volume is above normal 

 for the season. 



Sprinkling. 



The Campbell Irrigating System gave 

 a practical demonstration on the 

 grounds of Walter P. Stokes, at Moores- 

 town, N. J., July 21. The chief dif- 

 ference between the Campbell and the 

 Skinner systems lies in the fact that 

 the Campbell system requires no ad- 

 justing of the sprays, being so ar- 

 ranged that they meet or overlap with- 

 out the care of an attendant, a good 

 advantage. There are other points of 

 difference that may or may not be con- 

 sidered desirable. ' The Campbell spray 

 is coarse, rather inclined to make pud- 

 dles of water, while the Skinner, on

 attention.
