The Eastern Market. 



Clarence J. Watson says that with 

 well grown gladioli and Easter lilies 

 the market is better provided with sea- 

 sonable stock than it has been. Both 

 gladioli and lilies will keep in hot 

 weather, enabling the retailers to carry 

 stock without danger of loss. The gla- 

 dioli are coming in freely now, in good 

 variety of color, including America, 

 Mrs. Francis King, Augusta, May and 

 Brenchleyensis. They are particularly 

 nice, clean, bright stock. Lilies are 

 plentiful; when well cut they are likely 

 to sell. 



Carnations continue to go and asters 

 to come, but these changes are gradual; 

 it takes time to complete them. Roses 

 are in strong supply. The changes 

 noted in the last two reports are facts. 

 Maryland is the only one of last sum- 

 mer's favorites to hold its own. The 

 others are being replaced by better 

 salamanders. 



There is, of course, complaint of dull- 

 ness, but the majority seem to think 

 that business is quite normal for mid- 

 July. 



Mr. Bayersdorfer at Home. 



H. Bayersdorfer is hard at work in 

 his big Arch street store, where he 

 chatted, for a few minutes, of his trip 

 abroad. Mr. Bayersdorfer, who is look- 

 ing well, said that this was his thirtieth 

 trip across the Atlantic, and one of the 

 shortest. Only once before has he been 

 home by July 4. Mr. Bayersdorfer 

 found business conditions abroad satis- 

 factory, although when he reached the 

 other side there was a depression fol- 

 lowing the news of the great Claflin 

 failure in New York. A pleasant fea-

 H. H. Battles and Ed. Jansen. The 

 trio had an American party at the Cafe 

 Bristol, in Berlin. While Mr. Bayers- 

 dorfer 's importations will undoubtedly 

 exceed even the large scale of last year, 

 which made his house the heaviest case 

 importers in this city, he modestly com- 

 pares their size with the Vaterland by 

 wondering whether he would need in 

 two seasons what that leviathan could 

 carry across the water in one voyage. 



The Confession of a Fault. 



The card from the Florists' Club said 

 that the meeting would be devoted f 

 convention matters. The convintio»
