The Market 



A general decline in prices, a falling 

 off in trade and a period of quiet has 

 been the report at nearly all the stores 

 the past week. The best customers are 

 leaving for their summer vacations and 

 a corresponding degree of lassitude is 

 found among the growers and store men. 

 Koses are of very poor quality. Carna 

 tions in most cases are very good. Out- 

 door flowers are being sold in largt 

 quantities, but not much is realized for 

 them. A number of funerals caused a 

 slight amount of rustling and but for 

 that there would be very little done these 

 days. 



Various Notes. 



A visit to the growers shows quite a 

 large amount of improvement and the 

 greater part are through with planting. 



The Harvey Floral Co. has suspended 

 business, liabilities and assets not known. 

 We are unable to state whether or not 

 this firm will re-open. 



Arthur Newell has abandoned his 

 branch store on Walnut street, which will 

 be occupied by a Greek florist. 



We understand a new firm will open 

 shortly in the Masonic building, on Wal- 

 nut street. Plans have been drawn for a 

 refrigerator to be placed in the window 

 in order to care for the cut flowers. 



W. H. Humfeld has his houses filled 

 with a fine lot of chrysanthemums, which 

 seem to be doing well and promise good 

 feturB;», 



A. F. Barbee is doing more building 

 this summer. He has two new houses in 

 course of construction. Mr. Barbee has 

 a most up-to-date establishment for re- 

 ^il trade. 



Al Broman, of Independence, is send- 

 ing in some very good roses, considering 

 the heat here, and also some very fine 

 plants. 



W\ J. Barnes is taking his. vacation, 

 having left for St. Louis early in the 

 week. 



The Alpha Floral Co; is doing some 

 good business in spite of the hot weather 

 and keeps a very good supply of stock on 

 band. 



F. A. Byrne, formerly with the Kansas 

 City Floral Co., is making arrangements 



to enter business for himself. A lease 

 has been made on a large store on r 

 prominent street and arrangements will 

 be made to open the first of September. 



Narcissus. 



PITTSBURG. 



The cut flower business is at its 

 worst, the weather at its hottest, and 

 nothing doing for anyone. The whole- 

 sale houses are busy about one hour in 

 the morning and then the salesmen 

 could go to sleep. 



Some out-of-town people are to be 

 seen here, among them, H. T. Miller, 

 of Salem, O.; J. N. Spauabel, E. Pales- 

 tine, O.; Arthur Langhans, Wheeling, 

 W. Va., and B. Eschner, of Philadel- 

 phia. 



A very sad accident occurred last 

 Thursday iit J. B. Murdoch & Co. 's. A 

 lad about 13 years old was killed by 

 the elevator. As no one saw the acci- 

 dent, it is not known how it occurred. 



The W. F. Lauch Florist Co., Big 

 Beaver, Pa., has ben incorporated, with 

 capital stock $10,000; directors, W. F. 

 Lauch, WiHiam Langhorst and John P. 

 Maiie. Hoo-Hoo. 



ORANGE, N. J. 



The regular monthly meeting and floral 

 display of the New Jersey Floricultural 

 Society was held on July 7. An in- 

 formal talk upon orchids in general was 

 given by John E. Lager, and the sched- 

 ule for the annual fall flower show was 

 adopted. In the floral exhibit Lager & 

 Hurrell contributed cut orchid blooms in 

 twelve varieties, while specimen plants 

 from the following collections were 

 shown: William Barr, Arthur Bodwell, 

 gardener, three Cattleya Harrisonise, one 

 of which had thirty flowers, and an Odon- 

 toglossum Keichenheimii with 126 flow- 

 ers. Henry Graves, Edwin Thomas, gar- 

 dener, Cypripediums Brownii, Ashbur- 

 tonia?, etc. The Colgates, William Read, 

 gardener, and Stewart Hartshorn, Ar- 

 thur Caparn, gardener, each a vase of 

 Japanese irises of great size. John 

 Crosby Brown, Peter Duff, gardener, 

 three specimen gloxinias. Douglass Eob- 

 inson, John Girven, gardener, vases of 

 coreopsis, sweet peas and a collection of 

 vegetables. William Runkle, D. Kinds- 

 grab, gardener, specimen Phyllothaenium
