noon of August 20. The trial seed 

 grounds were inspected, and there was 

 a meeting in the interest of market gar- 

 dening. Addresses were made by Em- 

 mor Boberts, a New Jersey farmer; 

 George H. McKajr, superintendent of 

 the Beading Terminal Market; Howard 

 U. Selby, of the Starkey Product Co., 

 and A. Mechling, all directed toward 

 improving market conditions. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. baseball 

 team journeyed to Eiverton, N. J., Au- 

 gust 21, in two automobile trucks, with 

 friends cheering, bands playing and 

 colors flying. They were doomed to 

 disappointment, as their expected op- 

 ponents, the Henry A. Dreer Co. nine, 

 did not appear. 



Becent visitors were J. J. Sykes, of 

 the Van Lindley Co., and Mrs. Sykes, 

 Greensboro, N. C.; Paul Langhans, vice- 

 president and secretary of the Pitts- 

 burgh Cut Flower Co., Pittsburgh, Pa.; 

 William J. Turner and Mrs. Turner, 

 Wilkinsburg, Pa., who are on their way 

 home from an auto trip to Atlantic 

 City, and Charles Uttley, Harrisburg, 

 Pa. 



Samuel T. Freeman & Co. sold the 

 stock and fixtures of the Johnson Seed 

 Co. at public auction, August 24, at 

 217 Market street. 



The Leo Nieasen Co. reports the ar- 

 rival of early dahlias from the Peacock 

 Dahlia Co., at Williamstown Junction, 

 N. J. 



George Aeugle has been touring the 

 state in the interest of his Philadelphia 

 Cut Flower Co. He found the chrysan- 

 themums at West Grove, and the car- 

 nations near Lancaster, in prime con- 

 dition. Matchless will be more largely 

 planted. 



Eobert Crawford, Jr., will grow an in- 

 creased number of ferns at his place at 

 Secane, Pa. 



Clarence W. Moore reports an excel- 

 lent demand for vegetable seed. Mr. 

 Moore comments on this month's over- 

 production in certain lines of vegeta- 

 bles. 



Eobert B. Bragg, with Edward Eeid, 

 is vacationing at Tuckerton, N. J. 



Alvah B. Jones, captain of the P.M. 

 forces, has returned from a pleasant 

 holiday, divided between the seashore 

 and the mountains. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has issued 

 1,500 invitations, chiefly to private gar- 

 deners, to visit Andalusia, September 

 8. The company 's Andalusia farm is in 

 magnificent shape — a blaze of color 

 and many floral attractions well worth 

 seeing. 



Berger Bros, received their first ship- 

 ments of fancy dahlias last week. Prin- 

 cess Juliana and Jack Rose were the 

 leading varieties. Phil. 



NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



Until the middle of September little 

 change in the market dullness is an- 

 ticipated. The weather lately has been 

 perfect; neither heat nor rain has been 

 excessive. 



The rose shipments are increasing in 

 quantity, but the size of buds and 

 length of stem are disappointing. 

 There are but few in the special class, 

 and only these command near satis- 

 factory prices. American Beauties are 

 abundant, but few reach the desired 

 standard in quality. Prices have not 

 improved. A few fine Ophelia, Rus- 

 sell and other novelties are speedily 

 secured on arrival, but most of the 

 roses sell at from 50 cents per hun- 

 dred to $20 per thousand. 



There was hardly a carnation in the 

 market August 21, and, in fact, none 

 worth mentioning arrived during the 

 week or is coming now. The first of 

 September should see the advance 

 guard of the new season 's offerings.
