sailed June 22 on the Deutschland for a 

 two months' pleasure trip. The exodus 

 to the old country is large this sum- 

 mer. 



The water lilies are already arriving in 

 floods. Geo. Cotsonas & Co. handled sev- 

 eral thousands of them on Saturday. The 

 famous lily pond in Connecticut is the 

 source of supply for N. Lecakes & Co. 



S. Masur, of 238 Fulton street, Brook- 

 lyn, has the sympathy of his friends in 

 the serious illness of his wife and the loss 

 of his baby boy. Mr. Masur has been very 

 busy lately with graduation work and 

 contemplates doubling the capacity of his 

 store this fall. His headquarters are on 

 the heights near Beecher's church. 



Fine stock of Victory reaches the New 

 York market daily. There is a great 

 future for this carnation and Guttman & 

 Weber are making ample preparations 

 for the anticipated demand next season. 



One of Young & Nugent *s force, A. 

 Henshaw, was married this week to Miss 

 M. Brown, of Brooklyn. Their wedding 

 trip will be to Europe, where they will 

 meet the veteran, Samuel Henshaw, of 

 Staten Island, who is spending the sum- 

 mer in Europe. 



Another wedding of interest to the 

 trade took place at Walter Sheridan's 

 Bummer home at Sea Gate, N. Y., 

 where his niece was married on Wednes- 

 day. The outing lost a regular attendant 

 thereby, as Mr. Sheridan and his family 

 were thus unable to attend. 



The early closing movement is now al- 

 most universal. Wholesale houses find 

 little excuse for keeping open after 4 

 p. m. Many close before. 



The annual housecleaning has begun. 

 Some elaborate changes are promised be- 

 fore October. The retailers all close early 

 and employes show marked appreciation. 

 Mr. Trumpore, of Small & Sons, who 

 ttarle such a fine record in the mile race 

 of last year 's outing, has for some weeks 

 been laid on the shelf with rheumatism. 



C^arl Bemhard, head bookkeeper of the 

 Clucas & Boddington Co., left June 14 

 foi Germany on the steamer Ehinedam 

 fc! a six weeks' visit and Herbert Green- 

 SDiith, nursery superintendent of the 

 same company's Sparkill nurseries will 

 Bail July 5 via steamer Oceanic for Eng- 



land and the continent on a business and 

 pleasure trip. 



The Outing. 



All fears as to the great success of the 

 outing of the Florists' Club vanished 

 Wednesday morning. The long spell of 

 storms and rainy weather was shelved 

 for the occasion. A more perfect day 

 could not have been selected, and the at- 

 tendance was entirely satisfactory. The 

 sail up the sound and through Hempstead 

 bay lasted two and one-half hours, an 

 ideal trip, about twice the distance to the 

 resort of other years. Glenwood, selected 

 by the committee in preference to any 

 summer outing place near New York, 

 proved to be all that was claimed for it 

 and every facility for comfort, enjoy- 

 ment, rest and sport gave general satis- 

 faction. Full particulars, with prize- 

 vnnners and other matters of interest, 

 will appear in next week's issue.

The Market 



Business, which has been fair, is fall- 

 ing off, with prospects of continued de- 

 cline until the glorious Fourth, the fio- 

 rists' holiday. Beceipts of most varie- 

 ties of fiowers are lighter, sweet peas 

 being the exception. Lilium candldum, 

 useful for design work, is coming into 

 the market in larger quantities. Jap- 

 anese iris is also more plentiful. Dou- 

 ble white petunias will be a staple until 

 frost. Southern asparagus is showing 

 the effects of the heat. 



A Farm Scene. 



A window display of more than or- 

 dinary interest may be seen at the Cen- 

 tury Flower Shop. The entire window is 

 filled by a real farm scene in miniature. 

 A farm house, windmill worked by water 

 power in full operation, a barn, stable, 

 pigpen full of pigs, a pump, a rustic 

 bridge and, best of all, a pond in the 

 center full of ducklings alive and very 

 active. Every detail from the dwarf 

 Japanese maples to the rockery has been 

 worked out with skill and accuracy. The 

 window is crowded all day by appre- 

 ciative passersby. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club meeting will be 

 held on the second Tuesday in July, not 

 on the glorious Fourth. 



Emil Gerschick, acting for hinuMOf 

 and for a partner, has purchased the En- 

 terprise Greenhouses and store, Main 

 and Johnson streets, Germantown, from 

 Mrs. David Cliffe. This place was started 

 about twenty-five years ago by the late 

 David aiffe and operated at different 

 times by him and by each of his three 

 sons. The sons being otherwise occupied 

 Mrs. Cliffe has carried on the busineae 

 since the death of her husband. , 



Henry Lewis, formerly with Samuel J. 

 Bunting, has leased the La Eoche place 



at Collingdale. ^ v ♦!.- 



The suspension of payments by tne 

 City Trust Co. has been a blow to many 

 of our florists. It falls hard on Oscar 

 Young, who had deposited with this com- 

 pany the funds intended for rebuilding 

 his place at Twenty-first street and 

 Passyunk avenue. 



J. Frank Blakeborough is erecting a 

 store adjoining his greenhouses at Clay- 

 ton, N. J. , a ii. 



Myers & Samtman have solved the 

 problem of Beauty growing by cutting 

 from their young stock before ceasing to 

 cut from the old plants. , ., _i_ 



John Burton is sending in nice Liberty 

 to the Flower Market. 



The estate of the late Mark Eeevea i« 

 badly tangled. The assets appear to be 

 only a little over one-third the liabili- 

 ties. The creditors, who met on Mon- 

 day, hope to have the Leo Niessen Co. 

 and Fred Ehret appointed administrators. 



William Stevens, the popular represen- 

 tative of John Burton, now hustles in 

 the greenhouses instead of in the city. 

 He is greatly missed by his constitu- 

 ents, as well as by his associates at the 

 Flower Market, who look eagerly for- 

 ward to the fall, when his cheery ways 

 will again brighten their daily work. 



G. C. Watson is arranging a game of 

 baseball for July 11, retailers vs. whole- 

 salers. 



Hugh Graham is rejuvenating his place 

 at Logan. He has had an exceptionally 

 good June, steamer trade being notably 

 heavy. 



M. Eice & Co. have a tastefully filled
