PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



The consensus of opinion places the 

 Memorial day business above that of any 

 previous year. The bulk of the demand 

 came from points out of town, and called 

 for stock of medium grade. Fancy 

 flowers were not desired except in a few 

 cases. Carnations, peonies, and roses all 

 shared in popularity. It is understood 

 that the large majority of these flowers 

 were used for the purpose for which the 

 ^lay IS set apart. ' 



The demand fj)r peonies and for car- 

 nations has fallen oflF since Memorial 

 ^lay, but i:oses of the better grades are 

 in extremely brisk demand. Kaiserins 

 ^^T^y^.y^ ^^ ^^°V- Beauties, Brides 

 and Maids are all eagerly sought for the 

 June weddings and commencements, now 

 taking place. Chief among the latter, 

 «ryn Mawr college, is giving our local 

 retailers a great deal of business. Sweet 

 peas are very plentiful, but their quality 



is not quite so high as usual at this sea- 

 son ; the weather conditions have been 

 most trying. Valley of fine quality is 

 plentiful and in demand. Easter lilies 

 are over. There are a few callas, but 

 they seem to be nearly done. 



The Peony Show. 



The Pennsylvania Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its annual peony show in the 

 lecture room of Horticultural hall on 

 Thursday evening and during the day 

 Friday of last week. There were three 

 tables filled with vases of handsome 

 flowers. James W. Paul, Jr., Joseph 

 Hurley, gardener; John W. Pepper, Wil- 

 liam Kobertson, gardener, and Clement 

 A. Griscom, E. D. Barclay, superintend- 

 ent, were the principal prize winners, all 

 •three showing some excellent flowers. 

 The Henry A. Dreer Co. exhibited twen- 

 ty-eight vases of named varieties. Among 

 them were Asa Gray, light pink; Mons. 

 Paillet, pink; Duchesse de Nemours, 

 white; La Tulipe, white; Golden Harv- 

 est, pink and creamy white; Eose 



d 'Amour, light pink; Delachii, red, and 

 M. Forel, soft pink. 



Magazine Lane. 



Tt is an old saying that the way to a 

 certain place, much warmer than is 

 pleasant, is paved with good intentions. 

 So Phil in looking in his notebook was 

 liorrified to find a promise over a year 

 ol('. that had not been fulfilled. It was 

 the only unkept promise in that note- 

 book, a slight consolation. 



Down Twelfth street to the southwest- 

 ern trolleys, then to Magazine lane, there 

 is a big greenhouse plant of some 60,000 

 square feet of glass. The first man en- 

 countered inside the long shed was the 

 proprietor, John A. Shellem. Everybody 

 knows Mr. Shellem, his freesias, his 

 peonies, his new rose, and his lifelong 

 friendship for Bobert Craig. He has 

 four acres of ground and twenty houses 

 on Magazine lane. They feed his store 

 at Seventeenth and Tasker streets and 

 overflow into the big wholesale houses. 



He has a new 7,000-gallon water tank,
