 expect so late in the season. Depend on us to supply you, $1.00 to $3.00 ftr dozen. 



PEONIES 



$4.00.$6.00 per 100 



There is nothing on the market at this 

 time that would make quite the same 

 showing for the price. Splendid large 

 flowers, just cut right for shipping. 



LIUES 



$8.00 per 100 



For decorative purposes suggest Easter 

 Lilies to your customers. It is a flower 

 that always gives satisfaction during the 

 hot months.

The Market. 



There are signs that the market is 

 falling off a little during these early 

 days in June. The demand is largely 

 for the best flowers, making the dis- 

 posal of the poorer grades increasingly 

 difficult. The weather has been mostly 

 cool, favoring quality; this is a great 

 help to both supply and demand. White 

 roses with long stems and foliage free 

 from mildew are the only scarce flowers 

 in the market. Peonies are extremely 

 plentiful, at declining prices; the best 

 bring respectable figures, but the short 

 stems and leftovers sell cheaply. Car- 

 nations have taken a new lease of life 

 and are coming in quite freely, rather 

 in excess of the demand. Sweet peas 

 of quality bring fine prices, while ordi- 

 nary stock is hard to sell. "Valley is 

 not so much sought as was expected. 

 Cattleyas, including gigas, Mossise and 

 Gaskelliana, are in fair request. Gar- 

 denias are scarce and bring good prices 

 when fine. Cornflower is becoming 

 plentiful. Fancy gladioli keep up well; 

 the baby type is shortening. Outdoor 

 flowers have suffered from the copious 

 rains. 



The National Flower Show. 



Progress is marked by two events in 

 the great flower show to be held here 

 next spring. One was the signing of 

 the lease on behalf of the city that 

 gives us Convention hall, at Broad 

 street and Allegheny avenue, for the 

 exhibition; the other was the appoint- 

 ment by Chairman George Asmus of 

 Fred Cowperthwaite as chairman of 

 the bureau of information. This com- 

 pletes the list of chairmen of the com- 

 mittees. It now stands as follows:

A Cliarming Scene. 



The sixth annual flower show of the 

 Natural History Club of Lansdowne was 

 held in the auditorium of the Twentieth 

 Century Club house, in that thriving 

 suburb, on the afternoon and evening 



of June 5, There are fifty-two members 

 of the club and it really seemed as 

 though nearly all of them had brought 

 exhibits of flowers from their gardens. 

 They had shown enterprise in affiliating 

 with the American Rose Society. The 

 tangible results thereof were a silver 

 medal and two bronze medals offered 

 by the Eose Society as prizes at this 

 show. Whether it was the honor of 

 winning these prizes, or just the spirit 

 of comradeship developed in the club, 

 or real love ot flowers, or all three to- 

 gether, matters not; the real spirit was 

 there, a spirit that seemed to prevail 

 everywhere, making the show what it 

 should be, an exhibition in which every-
