PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



The extremely warm weather has 

 brought in a supply of flowers fully 

 double that of a week ago. The de- 

 mand has fallen off about one-quarter. 

 Three-quarters the amount of business 

 and twice as many flowers to do it with 

 explains the exceedingly low prices of 

 the week. 



Many flowers have reached the mar- 

 ket in poor condition, soft and too far 

 open, rendering them useless for ship- 

 ping and often even below the require- 

 ments of the least critical of the local 

 buyers. Good stock in proper condi- 

 tion for out-of-town orders brought fair 

 prices. There was not a great deal 

 of such stock. The quantity buyer had 

 an advantage that was used to push 

 prices down to figures that discouraged 

 work in growing and handling the 

 blooms. There were some exceptions, 

 made so by wedding orders. White or- 

 chids were in demand in a limited way. 

 Dendrobium formosum brought good 

 money. Valley sold better than for 

 some time past. Good white roses were 

 also wanted. 



Peonies continue plentiful. The crop 

 is over with some growers, but others 

 still are cutting flowers. Koses are 

 plentiful. They bring all prices, in ac- 

 cordance with their quality and their 

 condition when marketed. Carnations 

 are really better than might be sup- 

 posed in such hot weather. Fine gla- 

 dioli are a feature. Coreopsis andcorn- 

 flowers suggest the idea of a scythe 

 and a truck to facilitate cutting and 

 marketing. Gardenias and callas are 

 pretty nearly over for the season. 

 Easter lilies bring low prices and will 

 probably continue to do so until white 

 peonies are over. Sweet peas from out- 

 doors are good, plentiful and cheap. 

 They can be had in every color, rainy 

 days excepted, when the selection is 

 hardly so choice.

Various Notes. 



Arthur A. Niessen suffered a painful 

 accident June 8, when he caught his 

 foot on a projecting board and fell 

 downstairs at his company's building. 

 Twelfth and Race streets. His arm 

 was broken. Mr. Niessen suffered se- 

 verely but was able to resume his work 

 June 14. 



The Eetail Florists' Association held 

 its monthly meeting at the Poor Rich- 

 ard Club June 17. A dinner was the 

 feature of the evening. 



Joseph Heacock entertained the 

 Guernsey Breeders' Association and 

 some of the florists at his company's ' 



model dairy farm and rose houses at 

 Roelofs, Pa., June 11. There were 

 about seventy-five persons in the party. 

 While still suffering from a recent at- 

 tack of sciatica, the senator pluckily 

 received his guests in person. 



B. Eschner motored to Wernersville 

 June 12, returning by daylight despite 

 the deluge of rain, a distance of sixty- 

 five miles each way. The scenery was 

 greatly enjoyed. 



A pretty home wedding that took 

 place in this city June 16 was that of 

 Miss Anna Leister and Jack Neidinger. 

 The happy couple are believed to have 

 gone to New York.
