BEAUTIES 



$1.00 to $3.00 per dozen 



If you cannot get Beauties elsewhere, try us. We have an ample 

 supply and you will find them of a quality as good as they can be grown at 

 this time of the year. You have a better chance of your order being filled 

 here than anywhere else in this market. 



LILIES 



50 for $4.00 



Every day this summer we had a 

 good supply of Easter Lilies. The 

 way we pack them and cut in bud 

 form insures their arrival in fine con- 

 dition. Lilies make a good showing 

 when other flowers seem to lack in 

 quality. 



Chrysanthemums 



$1.50'$8.00 per dosen 



Golden Glow variety we can 

 supply now. Large orders 

 should be placed in advance. 

 By September 1 we will be in a 

 position to furnish any quantity.

The Market. 



Fewer flowers with about the same 

 amount of business is the story of the 

 week. The heavy storm at Hanover, 

 above Lancaster, August 22, interfered 

 with the shipment of asters, which were 

 missed in filling orders the following 

 day. Asters are good now; some really 

 splendid stock is offered. Easter lilies 

 are quite scarce, although there is no 

 special demand for them. Valley has 

 been selling up well. Cattleyas continue 

 scarce and expensive. There is a de- 

 cided increase in Beauties, mostly of 

 medium and long grade. Other roses 

 are scarce in the better grades, espe- 

 cially white. The shorts of colored va- 

 rieties are in excess of the demand. 

 Gladioli bring a better average price 

 than for the last fortnight, the fancy 

 varieties in iSmall quantities fielling 

 best. The additions to the market are 

 Golden Glow chrysanthemums, men- 

 tioned last week, and dahlias. Of the 

 dahlias, the best varieties are Jack 

 Bose, Princess Juliana, John Wana- 

 maker, Dorothy Peacock and Sylvia. 



Current Events. 



The selection of Houston, Tex., as the 

 next meeting place for the S. A. F. 

 is interesting to the eastern members. 

 They feel that it is a splendid thing 

 for the southwest to have the society 

 meet in one of its leading cities, but 

 they doubt whether it is a good thing 

 for the society to go there. The United 

 States is such a vast territory that it 

 is a question whether one society, such 

 as ours, can cover it all. The eastern 

 members fear that the society will lose 

 its hold on florists in this section of 

 the country, if there is no annual meet- 

 ing during the midsummer of three 

 years. The spring show, to be held in 

 this city next March, will do some- 

 thing toward holding the membership 

 for the present at least.

exhibition at H. Bayersdorfer & Co.'s 

 store. It includes some beautiful spec- 

 imens of teakwood, notably a tabouret, 

 surmounted by a jardiniere in bucket 

 form, hooped with bamboo. The effect 

 in polished black and white is striking. 

 Then there are curious ornaments rep- 

 resenting alligators, crabs and other 

 denizens of the sea, in oxidized bronze, 

 that may be used as receptacles for 

 flowers. The importation marks a new 

 era in its introduction of oriental ideas 

 into florists' supplies of this country. 



Various Notes. 



Kobert Pyle, president of the Conard 

 & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa., will speak 



before the Philadelphia Florists' Club,, 

 in Horticultural hall, September 7, at 8^ 

 p. m., on his visit to the San Francisco 

 exposition and convention. 



B. ^schner writes enthusiastically of 

 the beauties of our own country. The 

 Canadian Eockies, Alaska, the Yosemite 

 valley, the expositions and the perfect 

 Mission Inn, at Eiverside, all come in 

 for praise. The Yellowstone park is 

 still to come. Europe, Mr. Eschner 

 says, can boast of nothing to equal the 

 natural beauties of our own country. 



Francis C. Stokes and Walter H. Sa- 

 vory entertained over 1,000 guests at 

 the Stokes seed farms, Windermoor,
