The Market. 



A i much better condition prevailed in 

 the cut flower market for the last week 

 in Jiine. There was a moderate amount 

 of business, some good judges thought 

 a little more than a week before, with 

 just about half the quantity of flowers. 

 This gave a much better tone to the 

 trading, for the actual sales in dollars 

 and cents are generally believed to 

 have been greater than when that vast 

 avalanche of stock was upon us. No 

 true farmer can ever be satisfied, nor 

 can a true wholesale commission florist, 

 so a little better quality is the wish of 

 the day. Still there are some pretty 

 good flowers, notably the gladioli from 

 indoors; Augusta, America, Hollandia 

 and Mrs. Francis King are all excellent. 

 These are reinforced by early arrivals 

 of southern outdoor-grown gladioli in 

 pretty much the same variety. Beau- 

 ties are good, a few local and a few 

 fine eastern-grown flowers; also several 

 varieties of the smaller hybrid tea 

 roses. Easter lilies are excellent and 

 there are lots of good lilies of the val- 

 ley. Cattleyas, too, are to be had, both 

 gigas and Gaskelliana, and the white 

 Dendrobium formosum. Carnations are 

 still of fair quality and sweet peas of 

 the Spencer type from outdoors are ex- 

 cellent. These are the better flowers; 

 the poorer ones are disappearing slowly. 

 Peonies are almost over, as are gar- 

 denias. Asters have come. 



A Swell Wedding. 



St. Mark 's church was the scene of 

 a beautifully decorated wedding June 

 28. The altar, banked with Cibotium 

 Schiedei, was handsomely adorned with 

 white flowers; gladioli, lilies and roses. 

 The columns were festooned with 

 smilax and white sweet peas. The wed- 

 ding reception and breakfast, held at 

 Lindenhurst, Jenkintown, was also 

 made beautiful by handsome floral ar- 

 rangements. Here, as at St. Mark's

everything was new, handsome, yet per- 

 fectly simple. The bower where the 

 bridal couple stood was a work of art 

 made of cibotiums, white hydrangeas 

 and white spray orchids. The bridal 

 table, laid for twenty-four persons, was 

 garnished by a wondrous cake of huge 

 size, dome-capped. Around the cake 

 were arranged a dozen baskets of lilies 

 of the vale and white orchids; a horse- 

 shoe basket at each end, five smaller 

 baskets on either side. There were over 

 100 little tables, indoors and out, for 

 the guests. These were brightened by 

 sprays of Dorothy €'erkins roses. This 

 variety also was used to cover a great 

 pergola, a triumph of the decorator's 



handiwork. The decorations were 

 planned and executed by J. J. Haber- 

 mehl's Sons and their corps of artists 

 from the Bellevue-Stratford and the 

 other flower shops loyal to the Haber- 

 mehl banner.
