Tli.ps;. Miller, of Walter Sheridan's, 

 has found a new lease of life in the 

 mountains and is back at the old stand in 

 excel l*'nt health. 



Hoitanzel, of Great Neck, has left the 

 ranks of private gardeners for the re- 

 sponsibilities and anxieties of the grower 

 and is building three greenhouses 25x300 

 at Hdslyn, L. I. 



StIilosH Bros, will have a fine ribbon ex- 

 hibit at Washington. Both the brothers, 

 as usual. 



Julius Roehrs, Sr., has been reported 

 seriously ill. Many of the families in 

 the trade have one or more members of 

 their household sick. Those who at- 

 teiulod the club's outing will be sorry to 

 know that the young lady who injured 

 her knee in the running races is still 

 unable to put her foot to the ground 

 and has been confined to her bed ever 

 since the accident occurred. 



Reed & Keller have a new frame for 

 a floral design. It is a broken fluted 

 column seven feet high, with massive 

 anchor and chain, perfectly carried out 

 in every detail. They will show it at the 

 convention. J. AUSTIN Shaw. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market 



The market has been in rather poor 

 shape, asters being overdone, the poorer 

 grades finding an outlet in the streets at 

 wretched prices. The better grades have 

 been affected, but with the addition of 

 Semple 's it is expected a better demand 

 will be created. Gladioli have also suf- 

 fered. In fact the market generally is 

 weak, Beauties bei'f^ an exception. There 

 is a fair supply if home-grown in addi- 

 tion to the out-of-town stock, for all of 

 which there is a demand. The Japanese 

 hydrangea has made its appearance, the 

 early blooms bringing pretty fair prices. 

 Greens, especially asparagus, are selling 

 a little l>etter. 



The Washinj[ton G>nvention. 



The members of the Philadelphia Flo- 

 rists' Club and their friends will leave 

 Broad street station on Tuesday, August 

 15, at 8:. 32 a. m. All delegates who can

The Light Under a Bushel. 



It is recognized all over the States 

 that the district lying adjacent to the 

 Delaware and Schuylkill, near where the 

 waters of the rivers unite, stands at the 

 very pinnacle of horticultural fame. 

 There are located the great supply houses 

 that distribute their manufactures and 



imports all over the country. There may 

 be found the great plant factories, whose 

 palms are the standard of excellence in 

 every part of this country. There are 

 the great commission houses that have 

 improved and centralized the entire prod- 

 uct of six counties, to say nothing of 

 points outside, and distributed that prod- 

 uct to an ever increasing market. There 

 too, may be found the places of the cut 

 flower growers whose Beauties, and car- 

 nations, and valley, and teas, and violets, 

 and dahlias have made them famous in 

 far distant towns. 



But it is of none of these industries 

 that I wish to speak today, but of on© 

 less lauded but none the less important, 

 an industry without which none of the 

 others could have achieved their present 

 proportions, or could even have existed. 

 What use could we have for crepe paper, 

 pot covers, plant stands, jardinieres or 

 screens if we had no pots? How could 

 we manage our palm growing places 

 without pots? 



How could our commission houses get 

 good stock or how could our growers 

 produce it unaided by pots? Yet how 

 little thought is given to the knowledge, 

 enterprise and sagacity required to de- 

 velop this industry. There was a time, 

 not so many years gone by, when the 

 florists placed their orders in the fall for 

 the pots they would iieed in the spring. 

 Later orders were filled in rotation as 

 received, often necessitating vexatious 

 delays during the busy season. Now all 

 this is changed and through the enter- 

 prise of J. G. AVhilldin and of the Keller 

 Brothers, pots and pans in all sizes are 

 manufactured and stored ready for in- 

 stant shipment. Tiie florist of today does
