We are particularly strong now, and in placing yt)ur order with us, you 

 have every reasonable assurance of the order being filled with a satis- 

 factory grade of stock. 



Our growers are doing exceptionally well with their Beauties this 

 season, producing better flowers. We feel sure our Beauties will stand 

 comparison with any grown, and nowhere in this market will you find a 

 larger supply than we offer you. $1.00 to $3.00 per dozen. 



EASTER LILIES, the best, $8.00 per 100. We have plenty of them and 

 they are very fine. Can ship them in bud, which insures their arrival in perfect condition. 



GLADIOLUS, $6.00 to $8.00 per 100. There is a larger supply of them now. In assorted colors, we can furnish 

 them in large quantity. When special colors are wanted, it is advisable to order in advance. 

 VALLEY, $3.00 to $4.00 per 100. A good supply of the usual satisfaictory grade.

The Eastern Market. 



The change noted in the last lines of 

 the market report of a week ago is more 

 evident today than it was then. There 

 is a fair demand, at times reaching to 

 brisk, for good stock. The supply of 

 poor flowers has been cut down so that 

 conditions are easier. Peonies are on 

 the wane; the stock that comes out of 

 cold storage in good shape is in de- 

 mand and will not last much longer. 

 Valley has been in such heavy request 

 as to be short of requirements on sev- 

 eral days. Roses are selling moderately 

 well when of quality, white especially 

 so. There are few Kaiserins in the 

 market. Carnations from out of town 

 are excellent, but the local stock is 

 rarely good. Easter lilies are recover- 

 ing from their two months' depression. 

 Larkspurs and gladioli are important 

 decorative flowers. Sweet peas are 

 plentiful and useful when they have 

 good stems. Three kinds of cattleyas 

 and one dendrobium give variety to the 

 orchids. Outdoor flowers are cheap; 

 perhaps cornflower is the most useful. 



The 



The Club Outing, 

 third annual field day of the 



Philadelphia Florists' Club, held at 

 Schuetzen park Monday, June 22, proved 

 a great success. There were over 250 

 persons present to enjoy the games, 

 dinner, music and dancing. The 

 weather, though showery in the morn- 

 ing, cleared in the afternoon. Athletic 

 events occupied the afternoop, and after 

 a good dinner the evening was given
