now covers the field of apparent abnor- 

 mal land increase in values! Every 

 piece of land that has been sold will 

 be occupied by homes for our citizens 

 within the time suggested. 



Western florist visitors who spent a 

 few days with us lately remarked upon 

 the beautiful displays in all the windows 

 of our leading florists and the attractive 

 arrangement, novelty and artistic blend- 

 ing of colors that characterize them uni- 

 versally. I am glad to be able to sub- 

 stantiate this just comment. There never 

 is a day, even in the heat of summer, 

 when this important necessity of all 

 flower shops worthy of the name is neg- 

 lected. To specify would take up too 

 much space and to describe would make 

 individualization necessary. Each 



decorator has his style and none fails 

 in ability to make his windows attractive 

 to the passing throng. 



The Picnic 



The sixth annual outing of the New 

 York Florists' Club on Monday was a 

 great success. A big storm came on 

 Saturday night after the hottest June 

 30 ever known. But in this changeable 

 climate a single hour brought a flood 

 and a drop in temperature of 30 degrees, 

 so that the longed-for agreeable weather 

 for the outing did not disappoint us. 

 The attendance was far ahead of pre- 

 \iou8 years, the sail delightful, and the 

 program was carried out without a break 

 and most harmoniously. Early printing 

 of the Review this week makes a com- 

 plete list of the prize winners impossible. 



The committee worked hard and de- 

 serves especial credit. Prizes to the 

 value of about $250 were distributed. 



The donors of the prizes included Presi- 

 dent Scott, B. Suzuki, H. J. Hoffmeir, 

 John Birnie, C. S. Weber, John I. Ray- 

 nor, A. J. Guttman, Ford Bros., L. B. 

 Craw, Julius Roehrs, Jr., Phil Kessler, 

 Charles Millang, Lager & Hurrell, John 

 Young, Charles Schenck, J. K. Allen, 

 Vaughan's Seed Store, F. R. Pierson 

 Co., Arthur T. Boddington, E. C. Horan, 

 Moore, Hentz & Nash, F. H. Traendly, 

 A. L. Miller, Geller Supply Co., Patrick 

 O'Mara, Chas. Lenker, Jos. S. Fenrich, 

 Alex. McConnell, Schloss Bros., Leonard 

 Barron, E. W. Holt, Johnston Heating 

 Co., Alfred Zeller, J. G. Esler, apd 

 others. The greatest interest centered 

 in the ladies' bowling contest and ladies' 

 racing, the fat men's race, the tug of 

 war, the children's running and the ball 

 game. The day was one long to be 

 remembered, J, Austin Shaw. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market 



The market conditions last week were 

 fair, with a number of small weddings 

 and entertainments requiring flowers. 

 This week conditions may be briefly 

 summed up by saying that there is busi- 

 ness in the morning and dullness in the 

 afternoon. A moderate demand exists 

 for funeral flowers, valley, sweet peas, 

 Kaiserin roses and Beauties being the 

 principal factors. Early asters have ap- 

 peared in limited quantity. 



At the Close of the Year. 



Last Sunday marks the natural close 

 of the florists' year. It was the end of 

 the half year, a time when business con- 



ditions are best suited for taking ac- 

 count of stock, to be promptly followed 

 by plans for the next twelve months. 



There is no question that the year just 

 closed has been one of prosperity to 

 most of us. Our products, from luxuries, 

 are fast becoming necessities to a coun- 

 try of wonderful resources. Our city is 

 becoming more and more powerful as a 

 great center of every branch of our in- 

 dustry; flowers, plants, seeds and sup- 

 plies arrive and depart in steadily 

 increasing volume. The public has 

 sliown as keen appreciation of qual- 

 ity, of originality, of artistic ar- 

 rangement in flowers as in water 

 colors and in oil paintings. This 

 taste every man and woman in our pro- 

 fession can cultivate and improve. The 

 marked features of the last year are the 

 increase in the use of flowers for special 

 occasions, as of joy and sorrow, for 

 plants at Easter, and to a lesser extent 

 at Christmas, and for the wherewithal 

 to garden in every branch. 



Various Notes. 



Bayersdorfer & Co. have received a 

 shipment of unfinished or natural tone 

 ware, the first seen in this market It 

 is of artistic design, the direct antithesis 

 of the Pompeian tone ware. Mr. Ber- 

 kowitz thinks it will have a great run. 



M. Rice & Co. report that they are 

 now in a position to take care of orders 

 from^ their new importations, which are 

 arriving on every incoming steamer. 



The Johnson Sieed Co. opened for busi- 

 ness last Monday at 217 Market street. 

 The oflBcers of the company are: Presi- 

 dent, Herbert W. Johnson; secretary and 

 treasurer, Clifford Phillips; manager
