The Market. 



The feature of the week ending May 

 26 was the demand for flowers in the 

 churches for May 23. This was chiefly 

 for red and white carnations and roses, 

 although there was a good market for 

 all flowers. Peonies are coming in 

 more freely, retarded and improved by 

 the rain and the cool weather. The 

 heavy crop has not come yet. The 

 indications are that it will be in time 

 for Memorial day, but this depends on 

 the weather. Carnations are far less 

 plentiful, good ones being eagerly 

 sought. Sweet peas, like carnations, 

 are fewer than they have been. The 

 first outdoor peas have arrived and with 

 them some fine late indoor blooms. 

 Oladioli in four leading varieties of 

 extra fine quality are quite plentiful. 

 Baby gladioli also can be had in num- 

 bers greater than a week ago. There 

 is no special change in the rose supply, 

 beyond the fact that a few high-grade 

 flowers can be had to balance some- 

 what the heavy supply of short-stemmed 

 flowers. 



The market is hardly so well sup- 

 plied as might be desired with green- 

 house-grown stock. This leaves a good 

 field for the peonies, which promise to 

 be extremely fine for the next fort- 

 night. 



The Flower Market. 



Bittenhouse square presented an ani- 

 mated scene May 19, when the second 

 annual flower market opened there. 

 The day was unusually favorable, clear 

 and cool weather bringing out a large 

 attendance. Attractive programs had 

 been sent out among the charitably in- 

 clined fashionable folk, announcing that 

 every sort of plant ^^d flower and gar- 

 den tool would be sold for charity. To 

 these were added the e^tra inducements

are in full crop. All the colors and shades of 

 color, of finest quality, in any number you want, 

 at moderate price. Extra select Valley, Peas, 

 Gladiolus Hollandia, America, Augusta and 

 Baby Gladioli.

of refreshments and mild amusements. 

 Booths were erected that bloomed pro- 

 fusely with salable choice stock. Charm- 

 ing matrons and maidens dispensed the 

 wares. The public taste appeared to 

 favor dainty basket creations rather 

 than cumbersome plants or useful gar- 

 den tools. Good prices were paid and 

 no change was given, as often at these 

 fairs. The profession was well repre- 

 sented. Mrs. Drew-Baer presided over 

 a booth that dispensed flowers from the 

 London. , Harry W. Jones came from 

 the Bellervue; George Rausch from 

 Twelfth street; Charles F. Edgar from 

 Pfinnock Bros., who also sent a delivery 

 oar. Then there were the private con- 



tributions, notably Mrs. "Wilson's hand- 

 some case full of orchids. The pro- 

 ceeds were a generous amount. 



The Club Outing. 



Monday afternoon and evening of 

 the longest day in the year, June 21, 

 has been selected for the annual field 

 day of the Florists* Club, to be held 

 at Schuetzen park. The committee, con- 

 sisting of John C. Gracey, chairman; 

 Frank Adelberger, George Burton, 

 Harry S. Betz, John Kohn, Charles E. 

 Meehan, Fred J. Michell, Jr., Arthur 

 A. Niessen and , David Bust, secretary 

 and treasurer, has decided that the 

 tickets will cost $1.50, the same as 1#U9t,
