PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



THE WEST POST TELEGRAPH COMPANY. 

 Philadelphia, June 23. 1915. 

 To The Growers. 

 City and State, 

 Pennsylvania. 

 A Ten Word Telegram: — 



Ship one-third flowers only. 

 All the best; some white. 



Signed, 



The Cut Flower Market. 



When the growers receive their re- 

 turns for the current week the forego- 

 ing telegram will be clearly understood. 

 Everyone concerned would be better off 

 were two-thirds of the flowers now 

 coming into town not sent. No whole- 

 saler likes to tell his growers this cold 

 fact, yet every wholesaler must feel 

 that his growers would be better off 

 were they to devote the energy and 

 time used in growing, cutting and ship- 

 ping these flowers, to preparing their 

 stock for next season. 



The quantity of flowers has been sim- 

 ply enormous. Every means has been 

 tried for their disposal, without avail. 

 There has been heavy waste, despite 

 outrageously low sacrifice sales. Under 

 these conditions the market report this 

 week is curtailed. 



Out-of-town orders, local commence- 

 ments and some funerals formed the 

 bulk of the business. High temperature 

 and humidity worked havoc with that 

 part of the stock that was not in good 

 shape. Prices on good flowers were re- 

 duced by the oversupply of poor ones. 



Qeorge Auegle Succeeds Hayden. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., 1517 

 Sansom street, will change owners July 

 1. E. C. Hayden, the proprietor, has 

 sold his stock to George Auegle, the 

 manager. The business will be con- 

 tinued under the same name as at 

 present. Mr. Hayden will devote his 

 energies to his greenhouse establish- 

 ment, the Highland Eose Co., at Morton, 

 Pa. Mr. Auegle has won hosts of friends 

 during his eleven years with the c6m- 

 pany. The Highland Rose Co., Mr. Hay-

END-OF-JUNE IDEAS 



You want to know the snaps — what flowers are good value now. 



We suggest : 



GLADIOLI — Hollandia, the new orange; America and Augusta. 



VALLEY— Our extra select brand. 

 MARYLAND ROSES— Reliable in summer. 

 EASTER LILIES — Not too many flowers on each stem.

A School Commencement. 



There is a rather interesting little 

 story connected with a school com- 

 mencement in West Philadelphia this 

 week that is a trifle out of the ordinary. 

 It chanced that two of our local florists 

 had friends among the sweet girl grad- 

 uates. The rivalry between them grew 

 keen as commencement day approached; 

 so keen, in fact, that the other girls, 

 who had taken no especial interest, be- 

 came much interested indeed, in the 

 question of placing the order for com- 



mencement bouquets. It was quite a 

 large order, 160 bouquets, each of two 

 dozen Killarney roses. So it was finally 

 decided that sample bouquets were to 

 be submitted and voted upon. To make 

 the affair more interesting, some outside 

 florists besides the two favored ones 

 were invited to enter the competition. 

 Some accepted the offer; some declined. 

 At the stated time there were a number 

 of lovely bouquets on hand. The vot- 

 ing concluded and the votes counted, 

 it was found that both favorites had 

 lost and an outsider carried off the hon- 

 ors. To make things secure, a contract 

 was made out and signed that each and 

 every one of those 160 bouquets must
