D. T. Connor, who has evidently made 

 up his mind to cover the entire eastern 

 seaboard with glass structures, has con- 

 tracted with Isaac Moss, of Baltimore, 

 for two new houses each (I think) 26x 

 3 80 feet. 



Mrs. Robert Kift is rendering inval- 

 uable aid in the book-keeping department 

 of her husband's retail Howcr store at 

 1725 Chestnut street. 



Gustavus B. Steinhauser markets the 

 product of his Mercer street greenhouses 

 at Ninth and Girard avenue. 



Advices from abroad are that ^r. 

 Rice has secured several novelties that 

 ■will be shown in this country next season 

 for the first time. 



Eugene Bernheimer is closing at 7 

 p. m. during May. He has got up a 

 striking pot of pansies as a friendly 

 offering.

The Market 



The wholesale cut Howcr section would 

 have neen as quiet and solemn as a fu- 

 neral if Totty and Bobby Schultz and 

 Alex Burns liad not drifted into town 

 on Monday. They gave the market an 

 exhilarating air, tliat lifted the gloom 

 and made things seem better than they 

 were. The two from Madison were 

 breathing fire, and swore against the in- 

 justice of the express companies, which 

 have raised the rate on empties to $1 a 

 hundred, which is just a dollar more 

 than has been the rule. It makes a lot 

 of difference to the long-suffering grow- 

 ers and means the enlargement of the 

 wagon and automobile express system. 

 The companies are very independent 

 about it. 



Roses are very abundant and the slump 

 in prices is severe. Few of the best 

 Brides and Maids go above $4. Boxes 



are often taken, as they run at $1 a 

 luindred. Thousands are disjiosed of at 

 half that. Beauties seldom go above 

 !f!l5. The supply is now beyond any 

 jHiHsible demand. Carnations lioid tiieir 

 value well. Their quality was never bet- 

 ter at this time of the year, and the best 

 stock maintains the quoted figures easily, 

 ('alias have retrograded about fifty per 

 cent. 



A few violets still arrive, but the 

 flavor has departed and only siiecial 

 orders make a market for them at all. 

 May 15 will close the books for the 

 season. 



Southern stock, especially' of lilac, is 

 enormous. Much of it finds its way to 

 the street merchants, and tlie avenues 

 down-town in the shopping district look 

 like moving flower gardens. Pansies and 

 arbutus are used heavily by th(> street 

 sellers. Soon these gentry will leave for 

 the summer resorts and this very neces- 

 sary outlet for the surplus will lie great- 

 ly missed. These conditions will doubtless
