ham, Avlio is a coinjjaratively now eom- 

 inercial grower, is producing some splen- 

 did carnations this season, which Welch

 dahlias a big specialty and have booked

PHILADELPHIA. 



The Rising Eastern Market. 



The business during the last week was 

 erratic, some days good, while others 

 ■were a bit draggy. The quality of the 

 stock is improving, and from now on 

 will move in a lively fashion, as this 

 week will see most of the chrysanthe- 

 mums out of the way, excepting some 

 of the large later varieties. Beauties 

 are none too jdentiful, and in fact all 

 kinds of roses liave shortened up in sup- 

 ply, and will average much better in 

 price. Eichmonds are getting much bet- 

 ter, and from now on the indications are 

 that the demand will keep pace Avitli the 

 supply. The two games of football which 

 will be played in this city will no doubt 

 benefit the violet market, and there prob- 

 ably will be a great demand for them. 

 It "is Avonderful what a difference tliese 

 games make in the demand for these 

 flowers. Orchids, when not bruised, are 

 selling well, and the local supply is good. 

 Green stuff is moving off much better, 

 there being a good demand for spray 

 bunches of plumosus. A limited amount 

 of holly is used for Thanksgiving, and 

 is fine. Carnations are getting better, 

 and are advancing a little in price, and 

 will no doubt clean up much better this 

 week. Gardenias are still scarce, there 

 being not enough to go around. Stevia 

 and bouvardia have increased in quan- 

 tity and are moving nicely. 



An Important Move. 



The street has been aware for a year 

 or so that real estate men were vying 

 with each other in their efforts to induce 

 H. Bayersdorfer & Co. to move their es- 

 tablishment to some one of the large 

 buildings situated in the heart of this 

 city, between the two great railroad ter- 

 minals. This arrangement was completed 

 some months ago, the property selected

being the large, five-story building at 

 1129 Arch street, which is one square 

 from the Reading terminal and three 

 squares from Broad street station. Im- 

 provements have been in progress ever 

 since, not merely repairs, but improve- 

 ments of the most modern character — 

 electric lights, steam heat, passenger and 

 freight elevators, fire sprinklers, show- 

 room skylights and a well arranged office 

 being especial features. 



The entire establishment— warehouse, 



factory and salesrooms — were moved last 

 week to the new quarters, and business 

 is now going on with a degree of preci- 

 sion and dispatch that make one wonder 

 at the executive ability that can keep 

 the wheels running smoothly during a 

 great removal. The ground floor, fin- 

 ished in oak, contains on the right the 

 offices, on the left showcases filled with 

 choice wreaths and metallic designs, 

 broadening further back into two aisles 

 bordered by three rows of showcases
