The Market 



The market has features despite July 

 and the great national holiday. There 

 has been a pronounced demand for 

 Beauties of good quality, met by an 

 unusually choice supply, the Leo Nies- 

 sen Co. having plenty of flowers of this 

 fine rose that are up to winter form. 

 Kaiserins and valley have also come in 

 for a share of the demand. There are 

 a few fine Maids, Brides, Carnots and 

 Chatenays about, while Liberty from 

 several growers is excellent. Carna- 

 tions have shortened up considerably. 

 Reid is getting some nice ones, while S. 

 S. Pennock 's Lawson, Queen and Queen 

 Louise from ' ' down east ' ' are fine. 

 Sweet peas of good quality are selling 

 a little better than a fortnight ago, but 

 the quantity of presentable flowers is 

 much reduced. Asters are not a factor 

 yet. The stores do not care for the 

 small, early ones. Peonies can still be 

 had in quantity. The Flower Market 

 is handling the bulk of the cold storage 

 stock and say they can fill an order for 

 several thousands. S. S. Pennock has 

 some that he has kept in storage at his 

 own place. Candidum lilies are over, 

 but fine Harrisii can be had, both at 

 the Flower Market and S. S. Pennock 's. 

 Iris and coreopsis are abundant. Busi- 

 ness in cut flowers, plants, seeds and 

 florists' supplies is above the average 

 at this season. 



Varioat Notes. 



Henry A. Dreer put an effective 

 aquatic display in the window with 



their perennials on Wednesday. George 

 Parsons states that the demand for 

 seeds of the various varieties of digi- 

 talis, delphiniums and other hardy 

 biennials and perennials has been far 

 in excess of previous years. 



Visitors at 1220 Race street are at- 

 tracted by the steadfast gaze which 

 Uncle Theodore and his companion, 

 Billy, fix on the new gallery over the 

 ofiice where the screens are displayed. 

 Uncle Theodore is not Mr. Rice's uncle, 

 neither is he Mr. Eschner's, but they 

 call him Uncle Theodore from courtesy. 

 He has only come to this country late- 

 ly; a most interesting personality. 



H. H, Battles has added the store at 

 110 S. Twelfth street to the famous 108. 

 Mechanics are busily at work turning it 

 into a modern shop. The partition is 

 down, the gallery will be extended, the 

 show window arranged so that it will 

 make a harmonious whole. 



Charles F. Krueger has leased his 

 greenhouses at Narberth, Pa., to David 

 Emery, formerly a private gardener. 

 The stock of plants, tools, etc., was 

 purchased by him at the same time, 

 their value being appraised by Robert 

 Craig and C. E. Meehan. 



The Finley Acker Co. will open a 

 flower shop in connection with their 

 "Quality store" at Twelfth and Chest- 

 nut streets about July 15. This depart- 

 ment will be in charge of Mrs. Moore, 

 widow of a former Trenton florist. 



Ernest Wannemacher will have a con- 

 servatory adjoining his store at Over- 

 brook, Pa., using Lord & Burnham ma- 

 terial. 



William Linden, backed by a silent 

 partner, has leased the greenhouses and 

 store at Mount Airy, successively oper- 

 ated by Lewis Billger & Son, Billger & 

 Blakeborough, Colflesh & Whittemore 

 and Morris Myers. 



William E. McKissick has with- 

 drawn from the Leo N lessen Co. 



G. L. Huscroft, of Steubenville, 0., 

 was a visitor this week. 



J. A. Smith, the popular representa- 

 tive of the H. F. Michell Co., is away on 

 his vacation this week. 



Henry Diehl has succeeded David 

 Emery at .Judge Wiltbank 's. Mr. Diehl 

 has an enviable reputation as a skillful 



grower. Curiously enough his present 

 place is next door to the one he held 

 for so many years at the late Edward 

 T. Steel's. 



John Savage has vacated his green- 

 houses at Mount Airy. 



Reading G. Palmer wishes to dispose 

 of his house and two greenhouses at 

 Doylestown, Pa. 



Paul Berkowitz is too busy to take a 

 holiday at present, but will join his 

 family in the mountains near Altoona 

 oVer Sundays. 



Charles E. Meehan and Mrs. Meehan 

 spent last Sunday very happily in New 

 York, where they went for a visit. 

 Somehow J. Austin Shaw missed them. 

 I can't exactly explain it. 



Two Bostonians, Messrs. Leuthy and 

 O'Brien, were here recently, visiting 

 Dreer, Harris, et al. The former has 

 gone abroad. The latter has returned 

 to the Hub. 



D. T. Conner has accepted an order 

 for greenhouse material from a West 

 Philadelphia man, whose name I can't 

 recall. I remember very distinctly, 

 however, that he is going to use wire 

 glass, his own make! 



H. Bayersdorfer expects to sail from 

 Antwerp in the Zealand July 15. 



Mark Reeves has been appointed ad- 

 ministrator of his father's estate. He 

 will, under the insolvency laws, have 

 one year in which to settle with the 

 creditors. 



Clarence J. Watson is in command 

 during S. S. Pennock 's absence in Wes- 

 terly over the Fourth. 



L. Renter, son of S. J. Reuter, has 

 leased the Bunting greenhouses. 



F. & H. Mergenthaler will add some 

 carnation houses connecting with their 

 stock house. Work is progressing 

 rapidly. 



A greenhouse on top of a coal mine 

 is the latest novelty. Neither this nor 

 the triple alliance can faze D. T. C. 



M. Rice is busily engaged on his new 

 catalogue. He says "the most com- 

 plete supply house will send out the 

 finest catalogue ever seen." 



George Anderson is sending some 

 nice Carnots to Pennock Bros. The 

 Anderson farm at Garrettsford has
