idea of the extent of their business in 

 this line may be gathered from the fact 

 that they have sold three-quarters of a 

 million of Paper "White narcissi alone. • 



P. J. Klingsporn has resigned his po- 

 sition as manager of the Eosary Flower 

 Shop. Stewart McLean, son of George 

 McLean, of Youngstown, O., is his suc- 

 cessor. 



S. S. Pennock is receiving Lilium Har- 

 risii, also r.tttleyas and oncidiums. 



John Mclntyre has resigned his posi- 

 tion with the Leo Niessen Co. 



The Germaiitown Horticultural Society 

 freassembled ilonday evening after its 

 ' summer recess. There was a good exhi- 

 bition of fall flowers, vegetables, and a 

 few plants. N. Dubois Miller gave an 

 informal address on a trip through the 

 mountains. 



William P. Craig has brightly discov- 

 ered that a plant commission merchant is 

 a necessity. He is pushing the discov- 

 ery. 



The Keller Pottery Co. reports that 

 fall business is opening satisfactorily. 

 Chas. Keller, of this company, is a di- 

 rector of the Bobt. Craig Co. .... 



Berger Bros, expect some fine violets 



of all the leading varieties. Their stock 

 is in prime condition and will be ready 

 us soon as cold weather sets in. 



R. G. Palmer has visited Fifty-eighth 

 street and Gibson avenue recently. He 

 reports L. J. Renter's place in better 

 condition than ever, the Killarney being 

 especially fine. 



The Henry A. Dreer Co. is actively 

 engaged shipping palms from Riverton, 

 and filling bulb orders at 714 Chestnut 

 street, a sure sign that the campaign 

 has opened in earnest. 



Thos. J. Oberlin, of Sinking Spring, 

 Pa., is sending fine gladioli to the Flow- 

 er Market. "1900," a brUliant red; 

 Snow White, and a very large flower, 

 soft pink, the name of which I forget, 

 are among his best varieties. 



Arthur Zirkmap, of Rice & Co., has 

 just returned from a most successful 

 western trip, meeting his family on their 

 arrival from Europe. 



Frank McDonald, of Edw, Reid's 

 force, is ill with typhoid fever. 



An expert who has visited the green- 

 houses of Geo. Burton, at Wyndmoor, 

 Pa., states that his Beauties are in ex- 

 ceptionally fine condition, and predicts 



that the Leo Niessen Co. will again have 

 these flowers when they are most in de- 

 mand. Phil. 



[We wish to make it quite clear that 

 the illustrations in last week's issue, ac- 

 companying the descriptions, in the Phil- 

 adelphia column, of some of the novelties 

 of M. Rice & Co., were from photographs 

 also supplied by Rice & Co. Greetings 

 from B. Eschner, of this firm, who is 

 spending a part of his vacation with 

 Mrs. Eschner at Lake Minnetonka, 

 Minn., indicate that it is "all right" 

 there. — Ed.]

The Market 



Hot weather for the month of Sep- 

 tember prevails and this has a somewhat 

 depressing influence on the market. 

 Taking everything into consideration, 

 however, flowers have sold fairly well. 

 Carnations are much more abundant, sell- 

 ing mostly for $1 to $2 per hundred. 

 Roses other than Beauties vary from $1 

 to $8 and improve in quality. Asters
