PHn.ADELPHIA. 



Tbe Eastern Market. 



There is about as much business as 

 usual at this season, perhaps a little 

 more. There are some nice asters in 

 all colors coming into the market and 

 in sufficient quantities to depend upon. 

 Gladioli are numerous at easier prices. 

 Roses are good for this season. Car- 

 nations are holding on longer than was 

 expected and a good many nice flowers 

 can still be had in all the wholesale 

 houses. New York state peas are fine. 

 Valley is not in demand. A few dahlias 

 have appeared. 



American Pluck. 



The Philadelphia Florists' Club ap- 

 pointed a committee, in May of last 

 year, to raise funds to aid the flood 

 sutterers in the middle west. This com- 

 mittee, consisting of Edward Eeid, Sam- 

 uel S. Pennock and Pred Hahman, 

 raised a little less than $500. After 

 carefully going over the ground they 

 were unable to find a single florist who 

 had suffered loss from the flood who 

 was willing to accept financial aid. 

 David Bust, secretary for the commit- 

 tee, was therefore directed by the club 

 to return the money to the aubscribers. 



The Track and Oars. 



Myers & Samtman, of Chestnut Hill, 

 have completed their second year's work 

 of filling their greenhouses with soil, 

 aided by a track and cars. Tney also 

 brought the material for concrete to 

 tneir new house bj the same means. It 

 has proved an unqualified success. 

 Frank P. Myers says that it lightens 

 the hardest task of the season and con- 

 serves the energy of the men for thf 

 "ttSl. Myers & SamtnEan use b^iclies 

 throughout their entire place, refilling .

The Big House at North Wales. 



Courage has wrought a wonderful 

 change in the appearance of the mam- 

 moth greenhouse of the Florex Gar^ 

 dens. The ruin of a few months ago 

 has disappeared and in its place is a 

 tranguil scene of horticultural indus- 

 try, with little- ■»»B -an oeeaMwial tiny 

 fragment of glass to suggest the havoc 



of the storm. Work on the glass-co '■ 

 ered rose field of 70,000 plants goes u

 that show what has occurred; a nciv 

 row of posts has been erected betwe-'H

 of the house. These posts are aided m
