his son, Albert. They are the first to 

 announce their intention of going to 

 Minneapolis. 



E, J. McCallum, of the McCallum 

 Co., will leave shortly with a company 

 of twelve friends for the Kawartha 

 lakes, Ontario. 



Samuel McClements, of Eandolph & 

 McClements, motored over the moun- 

 tains July 26 to Bedford Springs. From 

 his smiling countenance the writer knew 

 he captured the contract for the dec- 

 orative plants, which was a big one. 



T. P. Langhans is summer pruning 

 his orchard at Allison Park. Pa. 



,Tohn Jones, foreman of the Schenley 

 park conservatories, is spending a few 

 days at Toronto, Ont., combining busi- 

 ness and pleasure. By the way, it 

 will pay any florist to visit Schenley 

 park and see the most wonderful carpet 

 bed planting that has ever been made 

 in our parks. Mr. Jones is proud of 

 this work and he certainly deserves 

 congratulations. P. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Eastern Market. 



The market is not in as good condi- 

 tion as it has been during the last 

 fortnight, although it ia fully equal to 

 the end of July, 1912. Business has 

 fallen off a little. There are no more 

 good flowers, but a good many more 

 poor ones that tend to depress prices. 

 Gladioli are the feature of the market. 

 So plentiful are they that even America 

 can be bought at the price formerly 

 asked for ordinary sorts. The ordinary 

 sorts sometimes fare badly. Asters have 

 been a great disappointment. They are 

 practically all outdoor gi^own and they 

 have suffered terribly from want of 

 rain. We are promised fine stock of 

 midseason varieties with the beginning 

 of Aumist. Easter lilies continue an 

 important summer crop. Valley has been 

 in oversupply. There are far too many 

 poor roses, but the better gftides are in 

 fair demand. The first dahlias have 

 come.

off incoming supplies, with his partners 

 and their entire force. Mr. Bayers- 

 dorfer is well and in splendid spirits, 

 despite the terrific heat, which must 

 be a pull after the ocean breezes. A 

 friendly greeting and a word on the 

 immortelle situation came in between- 

 time: "Immortelles are scarce; a poor 

 crop. Those who want them should say 

 so soon. We have half the crop. ' ' And 

 he was off, with a nod and a smile. 



Various Notes. 



Hitchings & Co. have completed a 

 greenhouse 40x200 feet for William H. 

 Ash, at South Vineland, N. J. It is a 

 model of perfect construction and heat- 

 ing. 



Charles W. Kahlert is in demand at 

 Pennock Bros.', where the improve- 

 ments are progressing. A magnificent 



showcase and much white marble are 

 features. 



Frank Smith, of Los Angeles, Cal., 

 formerly of Smith & Fetters, Cleveland,
