ably America, appear to be over. Tube- 

 roses are plentiful and sell moderately 

 well. A limited quantity of greens sells 

 at fair prices. Taken all in all, business 

 is fully up to the summer standard. 



The Politics of Flowers. 



Scarcely had the street recovered from 

 the surprise of the Pennock-Meehan com- 

 bination of two weeks ago, when it was 

 announced last Tuesday that H. Bayers- 

 dorfer & Co. had taken the five-story 

 building at 1129 Arch street for their 

 main office and warehouses, to be occu- 

 pied as soon as the steam beating, elec- 

 tric elevators and other modern improve- 

 ments have been completed. 



In discussing these changes, the street 

 agrees that the Pennock-Meehan combi- 

 nation is a strong one. S. S. Pennock is 

 accorded general approbation for win- 

 ning tl^e aid of one of his stypngest 

 competitors, and thereby strengthening 

 the ■wholesale center which he has been 

 steadily advocating west of Broad street. 

 Whether Charles E. Meehan will be able 

 to take with him his entire following in 

 the Philadelphia Wholesale Flower Mar- 

 ket is not yet known. The street, how- 

 ever, believes that Alfred Burton will 

 go with him, and probably some of the 

 other consignors; but confidently affirms 

 that John Burton (represented by Wil- 

 liam Stevens), William J. Moore, Berger 

 Bros, and several other stall holders will 

 remain in the Market building, though 

 ander what arrangements is not now 

 known. The wholesalers east of Broad 

 street, who look serious over the deflec- 

 tion of the Market chief, once more as- 

 nnned a fearful mien when the addition 

 of Bayersdorfer & Co. to their colony 



was made known. For they argued that 

 with the two great supply houses close 

 by, the center of the wholesale business 

 must lie between the terminals east of 

 Broad street. 



Various Notes. 



A. M. Campbell, who has gained a 

 wide experience in wholesaling cut 

 flowers for Robert Craig & Son, the 

 Leo Niessen Co., Samuel S. Pennock and 

 Edward Eeid, will next Monday open a 

 new commission house at 1510 Sansom 

 street. Mr. Campbell has the best wishes 

 of his friends.

Francis Canning, formerly of this city,

 tions given him.
