will earn you two dollars for every one you can make without them. That's 

 a big claim, but it's a fact. The basket adds style and tone, affords oppor- 

 tunity for taste in arrangement, and the little tin keepl^cut flowers and 

 plants fresh. Our baskets are the best in the country. Ask us to send you 

 our $10.00, $25.00 or $50.00 selection. You will get very good value.

large shipments of imported goods for 

 the fall line, the steamers Frinz Oskar, 

 Prinz Adalbert, Bagia, Chemnitz, and 

 Rhine each contributing their quota. 



The success of the club picnic calls 

 forth the hope that greater things will 

 come in the future. Robert B. Bragg 

 voices the sentiment of the workers 

 when he suggests a half holiday in all 

 the wholesale cut flower, seed and sup- 

 ply bouses, say in July, so all can go. 



There recently have been three 

 deaths of special interest in this city. 

 That of "William F. Bassett, the veteran 

 dahlia grower, of Hammonton, N. J., 

 a man of note, whose two sons, George 

 W. and J. Murray, have followed in 

 their father's footsteps as dahlia ex- 

 perts; of Isaac Kennedy, of Cleveland, 

 O., for many years a grower in this city, 

 at one time a partner of George E. 

 Campbell and later right hand man for 

 John Burton; and of Miss Carrie Rice, 

 sister of the late M. Rice, who died in 

 this city June 25. At her funeral June 

 28, Eugene Weiss and Bernard Eschner 

 were honorary pallbearers. 



H. H. Battles has returned from 

 abroad. 



The sporting element here want 

 Charles E. Critcnell, of Cincinnati, to 

 note that Robert Q. Shoch was the 

 athletic hero of June 22. Phil. 



NEW YOBK. 



The Market. 



The final week of June was "not so 

 bad"; there were weddings galore, com- 

 mencements innumerable and many fu- 

 nerals, as well as a lessening of sup- 

 plies. There will be sparse picking the 

 next ten weeks, and growers, wholesal- 

 ers and retailers may as well prepare 

 for and patiently accept the inevitable. 



The peonies have departed after a 

 most unsatisfactory season. Growers 

 may b&Jy^^ed i n th eir complaining, 



the "'"llMr" (}."^''*j[-*^}^^tTt^ y"'" TM^- 

 rose suppfy is lesseflragf but prices do 

 not advance. Good Beauties hold well, 

 with the selected ones selling at top 



quotations. The same may be said of 

 all the teas, the selects bringing fair 

 returns and the- lower grades being 

 practically unsalable. Carnations devel- 

 oped some strength during the week,, 

 fine stock touching $3 per hundred ia 

 small lots and $20 per thousand. The 

 common and sleepy arrivals met with 

 no demand- 

 Orchids have enjoyed a little uplift 

 and fine gigas are always in demand. 

 The smaller and comn</|ner varieties sell 

 at low rates and are hard to dispose of. 

 Lilies have advanced slightly and val- 

 ley has held well during the wedding^ 

 season. There is the usual big supply 

 of outdoor flowers, 'Crimson Ramblers 

 predominating. We have been over- 

 whelmed with feverfew, and of daisies,, 

 forget-me-nots, coreopsis, delphiniums 

 and antirrhinums there is seemingly no- 

 end.
