PHILADELPHIA, 



The Market. 



Loyal descendants of William Penn 

 have grave doubts whether that astute 

 gentleman acted wisely in his selection 

 of a site for the City of Brotherly 

 Love, for a hotter place would have 

 been hard to find last week. Humor- 

 ists suggest turning off the heat and 

 you'll have to do so before business 

 commences, for nobody cares a far- 

 thing or a mark for business in this 

 weather. 



However, you mildly urge, what good 

 are reporters who can't report t So here 

 goes: 



There is about as much business as 

 a week ago, but ever, ever so many 

 more flowers, which makes too many, 

 for don 't you see, two evers make a 

 too and that is why some are wasted t 

 Asters are the worst sufferers. They 

 come in fairly good shape now, but 

 so far in excess of the demand that 

 even at ridiculously low prices they 

 do not all sell; it is unfortunate. There 

 are lots of poor roses and not enough 

 good ones. It is rather hard to have 

 good roses, because that plant loves a 

 temperate rather than a tropical cli- 

 mate. Valley and lilies have become 

 more plentiful. White orchids have 

 arrived with the cattleyas and onci- 

 diums. Tuberoses afford variety to 

 gladiolus lovers, while dahlias come in 

 such unbounded variety that no need 

 of change is felt by those who admire 

 this great fall flower. Perhaps great is 

 a misplaced word in the heat, so count 

 it out until cooler nights, and, let 

 us hope, days come, when the dahlia 

 will be queen. The loneliness of Chrys-
