The Market. 



AVith the weddings and commence- 

 ments and a considerable number of 

 funerals, most of the retail florists did 

 a good business during June, though 

 the volume was probably not up to 

 what it is in some years. The com- 

 mencement trade has shown a great 

 falling oflf in the aggregate from what 

 it has been in the past, owing to the 

 fact that the school authorities are dis- 

 couraging the public presentation of 

 flowers at commencement exercises. The 

 spring season for the growers has prac- 

 tically ended. So many now have flow- 

 ers in their gardens that they no longer 

 depend on florists for their supplies. 

 The growers are now turning their at- 

 tention to planting their stock for next 

 fall's trade. Not only are flowers plen- 

 tiful, but they are extremely cheap. 

 Some roses are being sold as low as 75 

 cents a dozen, and carnations in some 

 stores as low as 40 cents a dozen, 

 though they average somewhat higher 

 than this. Sweet peas that a short time 

 ago were selling for 20 cents a bunch 

 are now selling for 10 cents. Peonies 

 are plentiful and cheap, but are de- 

 teriorating in quality and will soon be 

 gone. Hanging baskets for porch use 

 have sold well. 



Various Notes. 



The active season is now over with 

 A. B. Brunner, at 150 Chancellor ave- 

 nue, and he is now planting for the fall 

 trade. He reports that the spring trade 

 was excellent. 



Trauth, the Florist, reports business 

 considerably ahead of last year. He 

 has had a good deal of commencement 

 work and several weddings. His store 

 is "papered" with birch bark, the 

 seams of which are covered with cork 

 bark. 



McLaughlin & Murphy have had 

 good orders for funerals and weddings 

 recently. 



Louis Perlman has moved from his 

 quarters on Market street, near the 

 Pennsylvania railroad station, to 65 

 June street.

Open Sunday morning, 9 to 12 



ago, reports that the growth of the 

 business has been highly satisfactory. 

 In spite of the general business depres- 

 sion, the spring season of this year has 

 been excellent. Many orders for bulbs 

 are being booked. A considerable quan- 

 tity of grass seed for golf grounds has 

 been sold this season. Mr. Wilson re- 

 cently returned from a trip in the in- 

 terest of his concern and the results 

 were most encouraging. 



George Miller, at 435 Clinton avenue, 

 had a good spring trade, but reports 

 that business is a little quiet at present. 



"Business better than last year." 

 was the report given by H. B. Mc- 

 Knight, in charge of the greenhouses 

 of August Begerow.
