The Market. 



The cut flower lias been deprcssingly 

 (lull lately, flowers are abundant, demand 

 light. Semple 's asters are steadily grow- 

 ing in numbers. The quantity of poorer 

 blooms of the early variety is large. 

 Beauties from local growers are more 

 plentiful and share in the general heavi- 

 ness. Dahlias are improving. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel S. Pennock has purchased the 

 building at 1610 Ludlow street. He will 

 take possession October 1. The lot is 

 about 25x80 feet. The ground floor will 

 be added to Mr. Pennock 's present large 

 place, while the upper floors will be used 

 for oflBces. The present tenants expect 

 to vacate September 15, when the par- 

 tition will be taken down and improve- 

 ments pushed. 



Berger Bros, will on September 7 re- 

 move from 1220 to 1237 Filbert street, 

 with improved facilities for handling 

 their growing business. 



The Philadelphia Wholesale Flower 

 Market is actively preparing for a vig- 

 orous campaign. They have secured a 

 fine lot of stock. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. is 

 pleased with the weekly payments inaug- 



urated January 1; they have been liked 

 by the growers. 



Eugene Bernheimer is handling nice 

 asters and gladioli.

 ington.

 and expects to do a fine business in a 

 retail way. Miss Sadie Kirby will have 

 charge of same. Wilbur N. Brothers, of
