PHILADELPHIA. 



The Eastern Market. 



The season closes with lighter supply 

 and lighter demand. The stock of poor 

 flowers is much larger than of the good 

 ones and orders require careful selection. 

 Valley continues one of the leading 

 flowers; it has been in supply lighter 

 than the demand for several weeks. 

 Mock is proving itself a great warm 

 weather pink rose. Bussell is good and 

 Taft excellent, where color is not 

 needed. Double White Eallarney seems 

 a good thing. The few Kaiserin and 

 Shawyer are useful, but Maryland and 

 Killarney are hardly up to market re- 

 quirements. Beauties are in fair crop 

 and sell pretty well when good. 



Of the other flowers it is not neces- 

 sary to say much. Centaurea has come, 

 as have asters, although, unlike the first 

 named, they are not yet good. Gladioli 

 are rather late in coming into crop. 

 Sweet peas are going down hill. 



Ohrysanthemums. 



Robert A. Craig says that the wrinkle 

 of planting two small plants together 

 has proved satisfactory; this season he 

 is benching about 30,000 double plants 

 at his company's West Philadelphia 

 place. He is a believer in soft wood 

 stock that will go right ahead and has 

 prepared nearly twice that many young 

 plants for shipping. Bamapo, the im- 

 proved Col. Appleton, is so good a va- 

 riety, Mr. Craig says,- that he is plant- 

 ing it largely. His list includes all the 

 better kinds. 



Europe. 



J. Max Nitzschke baa cleverly fash- 

 ioned an ingenious hydroplane, which 

 graces the window of J. J. Habermehl's 

 Sons at the Bellevue-Stratfqrd. Mr. 

 Nitzschke says that his device was made 

 without tools; to be exact, with the 

 aid of a knife, hammer, some silk, some 

 cigarboxes, nails, copper wire and steel

 the modern monoplane. It is suitably 

 decorated, electrically lighted and ar- 

 ranged to convey the idea of carrying 

 the Habermehl orders to the ocean 

 liners with speed. There are mountains, 

 waterfalls and lovely green, so restful 

 to gaze upon. 



The Go-as-you-please. 



Edward Swayne was victor in a 25- 

 mile go-as-you-please race from Potts- 

 town to West Chester. His opponent 

 set the pace for the first three miles, 

 which he covered in thirty-five minutes, 

 using a tremendous stride and little 



running. Mr. Swayne had by this time 

 sized up his heavier th^gh more youth- 

 ful adversary and assumed the lead. 

 After seven miles the race became a 

 procession. Mr. Swayne covered the 

 first nineteen miles in three hours aad 

 eight minutes; the whole distance of 

 twenty-five miles, much of it up nhill, 

 over all kinds of roads, in four hoars 

 and thirty minutes. His opponent took 

 two hours more and finished gamely just 

 as a relief party was being sent out 

 after him.
