Westerly, R. I,; J, Horace MeFarland 

 and O. P. Beckley, of Harrisburg, Pa. 



Edward Reid celebrated his birth- 

 day July 21. Only a few chosen friends 

 knew and wished him well. 



Myers & Samtman are erecting a 

 concrete coalbin capable of holding 

 4,000 tons of coal on their place at 

 Chestnut Hill. 



Frank L. Politea will move shortly 

 from 1418 Chestnut street, where the 

 building is to be torn down, to 1420 

 Chestnut street. Mr. Polites has three 

 other flower stands, at Thirteenth and 

 Chestnut, Sixty-ninth and Market and 

 the Delaware ferries. He is extremely 

 successful. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has re- 

 ceived, a letter from Zieger & Sons com- 

 plimenting the fine display of ever- 

 greens and crotons in front of Conven- 

 tion hall, where the national flower 

 show will be held next spring. 



Arthur A. Niessen says that the 

 planting in the carnation houses 

 throughout Chester county is rapidly 

 progressing. Much of the stock is in 

 fine shape for the coming season. 



A. L. Fortunes has the only place in 

 this city devoted entirely to ferns. He 

 is preparing for the coming season. 



The report of the hail loss of Camp- 



bell Bros., at Penllyn, July 13, should 

 have read 1,500 panes of glass. Repair- 

 ing is being actively done. 



Max A. Fierstein leaves this week 

 for the west. 



H. Baycirsdorfer is expected in San 

 Francisco from Japan this week. 



Many of the Chester county growers 

 had small losses by the hail storm that 

 centered at West Grove, June 22. The 

 Conard & Jones Co. suffered quite some 

 loss, now all repaired. 



Martin Samtman, Jr., son of the 

 clever rose grower, met with a pain- 

 ful accident at Chester Hill, when a 

 machine that he obligingly cranked for 

 a sport, kicked badly, injuring his arm. 

 The cold-blooded sport drove off, leav- 

 ing the boy in the road. 



A. Farenwald is putting in an im- 

 proved water system for his plant at 

 Roslyn, Pa. 



Antoine Wintzer, vice-president of 

 the Conard & Jones Co., has some ex- 

 ceptionally promising seedlings from 

 Canna Firebird. One of these bore 

 seven fine spikes of flowers at one time. 

 The clump was flowered in a 12-inch 

 box in the greenhouse. 



The Leo Niessen Co. reports the ar- 

 rival of new crop Beauties. Phil. 



ROCHESTER, N. T. 



The Market. 



Scarcely any improvement can be 

 seen in business conditions. Counter 

 trade and transient trade are small. 

 Outdoor stock is plentiful and heavy 

 consignments cause frequent oversupply. 

 The supply of roses is large, and prices 

 are low. American Beauties are good. 

 There are many carnations to bq had 

 cheap, but they do not last lon^, 'A 

 good supply, of gladioli rearches 'i^s 

 daily and sells easily. Americia, Mrs. 

 Francis King and Vick's Pure \yliite 

 are the best sellers. Good yellow 'ai.Ti& 

 white snapdragons continue to cdme. 

 Easter and calla lilies are plentiful. 

 Valley meets all demands. Campanulas, 

 coreopsis, gaillardias and gypsophilas 

 are being used for basket decorations. 

 White candytuft is overabundant. 

 Asters in nearly all shades are selling 

 fairly well at a fair price. The sup- 

 ply of greens is good and meets the 

 small demand. 



Various Notes. 



We were sorry to hear of the pain- 

 ful accident that befell John Curtis, of
