Mr. H. Bayersdorfer returned from Europe last week. He has secured the best 

 Novelties and Staple Supplies that have ever been brought into this country. 

 Mr. Bayersdorfer has also some new ideas for the coming season that will be put 

 into shape in our factory. Our customers can find here all that is best in modem 

 supplies and a force that one and all strive to please by careful attention and 

 promptness.

mulations is carted away daily, the de- 

 partment stores are continuing their 

 educatiohal distribution at attractive 

 prices, and the supply of outdoor 

 blooms of roses and seasonable flowers 

 is unlimited. < 



Of roses, special American Beauties 

 are in short supply and prices for these 

 are firm and likely to continue so. The 

 ocean travelers and Newport and other 

 popular summer resorts absorb all ship- 

 ments of this variety daily. The sum- 

 mer Beauties are small and unpopular. 

 The hot weather played havoc with the 

 teas and few of- them brought satis- 

 factory returns. The supply is rapidly 

 increasing, and accurate quotations are 

 impossible. First-class carnations are 

 few. Most of the arrivals have been 

 asleep. From a top of $1.50 down to 

 "the depths" expresses the present 

 condition of the carnation market. 



The north, which means upper New 

 England and Canada, surprised us with 

 big shipments of peonies last week, 

 many of them of superb quality, but 

 the demand was limited. The orchid 

 market is well supplied and prices con- 

 tinue at the same level as during June, 

 $35 per hundred for the best of the 

 gigas down to $10 per hundred for the 

 smaller flowers, with no stable quota- 

 tions for the novelties. 



Valley weakened with the weddings 

 and the tendency is still downward. 

 Lilies do not advance and plenty of 

 candidums are added to the general 

 supply. Quality must be perfect to 

 bring the top quotation. The sweet 

 pea arrivals have been enormous, with 

 only the selects selling at fair prices 

 and many thousands in the discard. 



For gladioli, daisies, rambler roses 

 and the long list of outdoor flowers 

 there is no satisfactory outlet except 

 the expressman and the outgoing tide. 

 The cool wave of the last of the week 

 helped some, but its ahief advantage 

 was the facility it afforded for the 

 enjoyment of the national holiday. 



Club Outing. 



The annual outing of the New York 

 Florists' Club was held Wednesday, 

 July 1, at Glen Island, one of the most 

 beautiful picnic resorts in the vicinity 

 of New York. The weather was un-
