The Eastern Market. 



The cut flower market is still over- 

 abundan^-ly supplied. The new factor 

 is the beat, which puts the poorer 

 grades of stock out of the race. The 

 supply is so heavy that prices rule low. 

 Only the finest stock brings listed quo- 

 tations, while quantity orders, where 

 selection is not required, can be had at 

 buyers' figures. 



Peonies are coming in more freely, 

 with indications that a half or more of 

 the local stock will be in bloom by the 

 end of the week, which is considered as 

 being in time, for peonies after Me- 

 morial day are not much desired. Most 

 of the stock so far is from the south, 

 but the local cuts are increasing daily. 

 Cornflower, so popular for boutonnieres, 

 has taken a tumble from the high flgures 

 of the last two or three weeks, due to 

 increased receipts. Outdoor sweet peas, 

 Spencer type, are in full bloom. They 

 are extremely fine. The principal orchid 

 is Cattleya gigas. Outdoor valley is 

 over, leaving the field to the green- 

 house grown stock, which needs what 

 little demand is going. Easter lilies 

 are slowly reviving from their depres- 

 sion. Carnations have felt the heat. 

 Only the best stock is satisfactory. 

 There are plenty of baby gladioli and 

 irises. 



The Twentieth of May. 



It was 87 degrees in the shade. The 

 coolest place in the spacious Girard 

 College grounds was in the massive

 great Stephen Girard. The lofty ceil-
