The Market. 



There is a perceptible increase in the 

 supply of all the staple varieties of cut 

 flowers. The volume of business is larger 

 than a week ago, sufficient to consume the 

 stock coming in, but at lower average 

 prices. Asters and dahlias continue the 

 features. Harrisii. lilies are in evidence 

 in two commission houses. Orchids have 

 made their appearance in sufficient qaan- 

 tity to quote. Cosmos, which has been 

 arriving in limited quantity, is now be- 

 ginning to sell. Gladioli are plentiful 

 and fine. Chrysanthemums made their 

 first appearance on Saturday, Edw. Beid 

 having some nice flowers of a yellow 

 of the Byron type. Valley is the scarc- 

 est article on the list, the demand being 

 quite active, Bichmond rose is now ar- 

 riving in quantity. They are better at 

 present than Liberty. 



Merioo. 



One of our florists, facetiously in- 

 clined, delights in telling Henry I. Faust 

 that he does not know where he lives. 

 By which the cheerful chappie means 

 that Mr. Faust 's greenhouses are located 

 on the borders of Overbrook, Bala, in 

 the telephone district of Cynwyd and 

 near the station of Merion. Henry I. 

 Faust indignantly refutes this charge, 

 claiming, not unreasonably, that even 

 the mighty Bell Telephone' Co. may not 

 decide where he lives so positively as 

 Uncle Sam. His postoffice, he says, is at 



Merion. So the representative of the 

 Beview was dispatched to call on Henry 

 1. Faust at Merion. You may be curi- 

 ously inclined, and desire to know just 

 why the Beview man should be sent to 

 Merion during the early days of Sep- 

 tember, when it is hot and nobody wants 

 to go in a greenhouse that is not his 

 own, unless he has to do so. To these I 

 may answer that it is only necessary to 

 go to Fred Ehret's and observe the rev- 

 erent way in which he handles certain 

 bunches of flowers, and when you ask 

 why, he whispers the magic word, 

 "Faust;" or to go to Edw. Beid's and 

 see the genial smiJe with which he opens 

 certain bundles of astonishing maiden- 

 hair, a smile given only to laudatory 

 letters from distant customers or to 

 these same bundles, which always bear 

 the magic letters "F-A-TJ-S-T" upon 

 them; or you may go to A. M. Camp- 

 bell's and mark the boyish heartiness 

 I with which he tells you that he has con- 

 I signments from so many different grow- 

 ers, concluding in a^ casual way with the 

 : information that H. I. Faust is one of 

 them. 



Henry I. Faust, of Merion, has as 

 pretty a lot of chrysanthemums as one 

 coiild' wish to see. Thfere Are perhaps 

 12,000 of' them, grown chiefly to single 

 stems, all of the best late varieties, 

 Jeanne Nonin, whose score was but two 

 short of perfect at the chrysanthemum 

 show last fall, is undoubtedly the star. 

 There are fully 5,000 of these promising 

 whites, all in superb condition. Mrs. 

 Blanc, pink, with a score of ninety-five, 



comes next. Then there are Dr. Engue- 

 hard, Maud Dean, Major Bonnaffon, 

 Baby, the tiny yellow, and a few Doro- 

 thy Faust. There are two houses of 

 Mr. Faust's Adiantum Croweanum, one 

 house each of grafted Brides, Maids and 

 Kaiserins, and 1,000 Nephrolepis Scottii. 

 Unfortunately Henry I. Faust was ab- 

 sent, but he was ably represented in a 

 quick trip over the place which impressed 

 the writer as justifying all that has been 

 said of it. 



Various Note*. 



The Peacock Dahlia Co., of Williams- 

 town, N. Jy began shipping its fancy 

 dahlias to the Leo Niessen Co. on Tues- 

 day. 



Hitchings & Co. are erecting two new 

 greenhouses in place of womout struc- 

 tures at Girard College. These houses 

 are of iron ridge, roof and gutter. The 

 old brick walls have been utilized. One 

 house was planted with roses, Bichmond, 

 Killarney and Chatenay, last Monday. 

 The other will be used for crotons. So 

 says His Grace of York. 



The senior member of the firm of 

 Evenden Bros., Williamsport, Pa., was a 

 visitor in this city on Monday. 



To be able to ship brittle flower pots 

 by way of the stormy Cape to Honolulu 

 seems to J. G. Whilldin as easy as fall- 

 ing off a log would to you or me. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has received 

 300 of its 600 cases of Dutch bulbs, the 

 stock arriving in excellent condition, 

 without any heating, a trduble to which 

 poorly packed bulbs are subjeet. Some
