Meiitluu The Uevlfw wUeu you write. 



varieties of seeds, owing to the cold, wet 

 May, is not wholly a source of profit to 

 them, one of our brightest seedsmen giv- 

 ing it as his opinion that in the long run 

 it was not good business to make money 

 for him out of his customers ' mis- 

 fortunes. 



The nurserymen were helped as they 

 have rarely been helped before by the 

 elements. Their season was long, large, 

 and should prove more than usually satis- 

 factory to their customers. 



An index of the general prosperity is 

 perhaps best shown in the supply houses. 

 They all imported, manufactured and sold 

 more goods than ever before, at satis- 

 factory prices. The present unusually 

 good demand indicates that these goods 

 have not remained in the hands of their 

 customers. 



The above carefully prepared statement 

 of facts leads to the belief that our busi- 

 ness in all its branches is in a healthy 

 and prosperous condition. 



Various Notes. 



William P. Craig has kindly furnished 

 the photograj)h of a specimen Nephrolepis 

 Amerpohlii in a 6-inch pot that appears 

 elsewhere in this number. 



A Philadelphian writes from Plymouth, 

 England, that ' ' there are flower shops 

 every other block, where you can buy 

 bunches of flowers for a penny apiece, 

 and plants resembling forget-me-nots for 

 2 pence each." 



The street asserts that John Burton 

 will carry over nearly his entire stock of 

 roses for next season, replanting but two 

 houses. 



William Warner Harper was surprised 

 and delighted by the large number of 

 visitors attracted by his peony show at 

 the Andorra Nurseries. 



Charles H. Campbell, Joseph X. Camp- 

 bell and another florist will erect two 

 houses, 31X.300 and 24x300 feet, re- 

 spectively, on a tract of fourteen acres 

 of land near Penllyn station, Philadel- 

 phia & Reading railway. The building 

 material and plans are from Lord & 

 Burnhani Co. — D. T. Conner. The houses 

 will be devoted to carnations, Mrs. Law- 

 son, White T^awson and Enchantress 

 being among the varieties to be grown. 

 The product will be divided between Mr. 

 Campbell 's store at 3601 Germantown 

 avenue and a wholesale house. 



Thomas ,T. Oberlin 's paper, read before 

 the Florists' Club July 2, is a splendid 



example of a thoroughly practical essay 

 of a most polished type. It deserves care- 

 ful perusal. 



The Philadelphia Wholesale Flower 

 Market's lease of 1237 Filbert street ex- 

 pired June 30. I). T. Conner, William 

 Stevens and Edgar Upton have vacated 

 the premises. The other stall-holders left 

 earlier. I). T. Conner has opened an 

 office on the ninth floor of the Heed 

 building, in Filbert street above Twelfth. 



Charles E. Meehan and family have 

 opened their cottage at Ocean City, N. J. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has accepted 

 an original design especially prepared for 

 its bowling trophy to be competed for at 

 the S. A. F. convention in this city next 

 month. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have two more 

 steamers with large consignments of 

 choice supplies in this week. 



The wholesale <nnimis?ion houses will 

 all close at 6 o 'dock this week, to con- 

 tinue during July and August. 



M. Rice & Co. are busily engaged tak- 

 ing account of stock during the breath- 

 ing spells between the arrivals of fresh 

 importations from Europe. 



The Crimson Ramblers now in full 

 bloom in the suburbs make beautiful 

 decorative material. 



Walter D. Stokes, of this city, was one 

 of the essayists at the seedsmen's con- 

 vention in New York. His essay was full 

 of good practical ideas. 



I hope you enjoyed the glorious Fourth 

 and didn 't blow anybody to pieces.
