 ket. We had no interest in the game at 

 all and none of our employees were play- 

 ers. When we play a game we will have 

 the nerve to come out under our own 

 name. ' ' 



A Wholesaler's View. 



A prominent wholesaler, in discussing 

 the Florists' Protective Association of 

 Philadelphia, said that it has two strong 

 points in its favor. It will benefit him 

 by enabling him to meet hia obligations 

 promptly, and it will benefit his cus- 

 tomers by compelling their competitors 

 to sell at a fair price. Under such an 

 arrangement no reputable retailer need 

 fear unfair competition from those who 

 wish to shirk their obligations. 



The Express Problem. 



Edward Reid, chairman of the Flor- 

 ists' Club committee on express suits, 

 has made a thorough study of the sub- 

 ject of the relations between the com- 

 panies and their patrons. Mr. Eeid be- 

 lieves that the next clear case of de- 

 layed shipment of cut flowers, if prop- 

 erly brought before the company, can be 

 settled, or won in court should the com- 

 pany decline to settle, and that such a 

 case should be used as a precedent on 

 future occasions. 



Various Notes. 

 William R. Gibson, formerly with 

 Pennock Bros., of this city, now with the 

 J. M. Connelly Co., Charleston, S. C, 

 was seen in M. Rice & Co. 's one day this 

 week. Mr. Gibson, who is looking well, 

 is on a visit to his family in this city. 

 He speaks enthusiastically of the possi- 

 bilities in Charleston. The confidence of 



the flower-buying public there, once se- 

 cured, is easily held. There are no local 

 growers, flowers being obtained from 

 Philadelphia, and, at times, from Savan- 

 nah and Atlanta. The southern-grown 

 stock is of fine quality during the winter 

 months, but climatic conditions make it 

 impossible to produce high-grade flowers 

 during warm weather. 



Walter P. Stokes told a correspondent 

 of the Review that he had done more 

 business during the first fortnight of 

 July than was done by the old firm of 

 Johnson & Stokes during the correspond- 

 ing period last year. 



Paul J. Klingporn opened the Rosary 

 Flower Shop at 2029 South Fifteenth 

 street last Tuesday. This store was for- 

 merly occupied by Charles P. Poryzees. 

 Mr. Klingporn, who first managed the 

 cut flower department for H. Waterer, 

 seedsman, on Seventh street, below Chest- 

 nut, was afterwards right-hand man for 

 George M. Moss, wholesale florist, 32 

 South Seventeenth street, and later man- 

 ager for Dumont & Co., 1305 Filbert 

 street. Mr. Klingporn has the best 

 wishes of his friends. 



John Jensen, the popular florist of 

 West Philadelphia, has started on a trip 

 to his old home in Denmark. His 

 friends wish him bon voyage. 



W. E. McKissick is receiving some very 

 high grade sweet peas. 



There are now three who have the 

 courage to say "profession"; D. Fuer- 

 stenburg, A. Farenwald and Phil. Rob- 

 ert Kift will undoubtedly be the fourth. 

 No man who writes such poetic and in- 

 spiring articles about what we have done 

 for mankind can much longer remain in 

 darkness. 



The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving some 

 fine white asters. 



Mr. and Mrs. William Blacker, of 

 Clearfield, were in this city recently on 

 their way to Atlantic City. 



A prominent member of the Florists' 

 Protective Association states that I was 

 in error last week in saying that the 

 rules of the association apply only to 

 Philadelphia and Camden counties. They 

 arc operative wherever the members do 

 business. 



William J. Baker is receiving choice 

 Queen Alexandra daisies. Phil.

The Market. 



The conditions of the market remain 

 about the same as last week, except that 

 roses are more plentiful. They are 

 shipped in from Chicago, as home-grown 

 ones are very scarce and poor in qual- 

 ity. Sweet peas are more plentiful. 

 There were only a few weddings this 

 week and most of them used sweet peas 

 and snapdragons for their decorations. 

 The weather has been delightful, cool, 

 and with plenty of fresh air for this 

 month. We need rain badly, for carna- 

 tions are growing very slowly. If we 

 don't have rain soon there will be quite 

 a number of small carnations housed 

 next month. Asters out* of doors are 

 heavy in bud, and a few of the early 

 varieties are coming in bloom now.
