Gentlemen:— We have now used the 

 new show case which you installed for 

 us about six months ago. We can say it 

 is everything: that you promised for it, 

 and that is "perfection." 



We don't know what else we could say 

 except the first case which you built for 

 us about seven years ago helped materi- 

 ally to our success. Your systtm is 

 certainly ideal for keeping flowers. 



The workmanship on this new case 

 could not be better. We have had people 

 say, "Why, that is more finely finished 

 than our piano." Youra truly, 



Holm & Olson.

dissemination this fall and that orders 

 are coming in a quite satisfactory man- 

 ner. 



E. Wienhoeber has twenty-one acres 

 of land at his new summer home at 

 Highland Park and contemplates next 

 season growing a quantity of outdoor 

 stock for his store. 



Weiland & Risch are already getting 

 quite a cut of Killarney from young 

 stock and J. P. Risch says they will cut 

 carnations from new jdants in two 

 weeks. 



Philip Schupp says that if the second 

 half of the year shows as good an in- 

 crease in business for the J. A. Budlong 

 estate as the first half showed, everyone 

 will be satisfied. The record shows that 

 better average prices were realized than 

 last year. 



George Reinberg has his replanting 

 operations practically completed. 



All the carnation growers are hustling 

 with the work of replanting.

The Market. 



As to the cut flower market, what c&n 

 be said when there is no market and 

 tlie quietude of the wholesale section is 

 oppressive? Even the advent of a buyer 

 on the scene fails to awaken one from 

 the lethargy. It is what Grover Cleve- 

 land would call the season of "innocu- 

 ous desuetude." Prices do not vary. 

 The quotations of a week ago are as 

 near correct as one can make them, 

 never forgetting, however, that the 

 amount unsold and in the discard is al- 



ways more than what finds its outlet 

 througli the legitimate retail channel. 

 The fact is, the retail river is very dry 

 and, apart from a funeral or a vessel 

 sailing, there is no break in the clouds, 

 nor will there be before the August wed- 



raVERY now and then a well 

 i*SI pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a new 

 advertiser to

Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florists' use 

 not at present advertised.

dings are heard from. Down at New- 

 port and other popular society summer 

 resorts it is better and dinners are all 

 the go, with some quite elaborate decora- 

 tions. Siebrecht, Smythe and Leikens 

 seem quite contented with the volume of 



fuiumer trade furnished by the society 

 element. 



Beauties hold firm and any extra fine 

 stock brings top prices. Carnations are 

 scarce and consequently higher where 

 the quality is up to the mark. But 

 there is not a great deal of quality yet 

 on exhibition. 



The gladiolus, as to quantity, is king 

 .'ind immense shipments are coining in, 

 larger and finer every day. Asters for 

 .«oine reason, perhaps the long spell of 

 dry weather, are yet few and poor and 

 later than anticipated. There will prob- 

 ably be enough and to spare before the 

 week ends. 



Brides and Maids are resting. Few 

 that come h.ave either color or substance. 

 Orchids are abundant, but there seems 

 to be a steady outside demand that 

 leaves no surplus. One of the noted 

 orchid growers, Julius Roehrs, Sr., has 

 gone to Europe, his annual trip, combin- 

 ing pleasure .and business. Henry Hur- 

 rell, of Lager & Hurrell, was in the city 

 Monday and says the firm will have a 

 handsome orchid display at the conven- 

 tion. 



Various Notes. 



Convention matters grow more inter- 

 esting daily. The special train is now 

 assured. Commodore Nugent has his 

 bill of fare completed and it will take 

 several cars to accommodate the crowd. 

 There will be many exhibitors from New 

 York, more than at any "convention ever 

 before held by the S. A. F. 



Reed & Keller have another novelty 

 ready, a combination stand for bouquet 

 construction, with conveniences for wire, 

 thread, ribbons, etc. Mr. Reed gives
