Orchids and gardenias continue 

 scarce, and are obtainable only at an 

 almost prohibitive price; the demand 

 for them is light. There was a further 

 slight shortening of the valley supply. 

 Increasing quantities of dahliaa are 

 offered, with but few buyers. The in- 

 tense heat affected these as well as 

 asters; a majority of the latter are not 

 up to standard. Early chrysanthe- 

 mums are meeting with little favor. 



Roses are good for this time of year. 

 There is an occasional shortage of good 

 white roses, but plenty of colored ones 

 fire to be had. Shipments of carna- 

 tions are increasing, but the flowers 

 continue small and the stems short.

at the rear of the latter 's store, this 

 year proved a greater success than ever 

 before. It was attended by more than 

 200 people and the merriment con- 

 tinued until long after midnight. 



It had been decided that there were 

 to be no speeches during the evening, 

 but several guests were called upon, 

 Adolph Gude and Richard Vincent, Jr., 

 responding. Fred H. Kramer created 

 a sensation when he appeared as a 

 German schoolmaster. A band of 

 twenty-five pieces played, and several 

 entertainers performed. Shortly before 

 midnight the members of two theatrical 

 companies, about fifty, appearing at the 



Casino and Gayety theaters, enlivened 

 the rest of the time by songs, by fancy 

 and clog dancing, and by acting parts 

 from the pieces in which they regularly 

 appear. 



Among those present were President 

 George H. Cooke, Vice-president R. L. 

 Jenkins, Treasurer William F. Gude, 

 Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, 

 Md.; Otto Bauer, George H. Shaffer,
