WE ARE BUSY EVERY DAY 



To fill orders to the satisfaction of otsr customers. We do not claim to have 

 the largest supply of stock in Chicago, but on quality we take no second place. 

 (A good many houses have wished they had our Maids and Brides this sum- 

 mer.) However, it is no more the stock than the kind of service that counts. 



This is wliat we assert: 



That no house in this market can make greater effort to fill every order as 

 wanted. That's what counts. If we haven't got just the grade that's wanted, 

 WE don't send some other grade — WE GET THE STOCK THAT'S 

 WANTED. If that is the kind of service you want, we shall be pleased to 

 have a share of your orders this season. 



WE BILL ALL STOCK AT MARKET RATES. YOU ARE SAFE WITH US

An attendance of 100 is expected. A 

 special electric car from Arlington 

 Heights ia being arranged for. 



James Gaethley, of Fairhaven, made a 

 fine exhibit of melons at Horticultural 

 hall August 15. The fruit weighed from 

 six to sixteen and one-half pounds each. 

 Mr. Gaethley was awarded a certificate 

 of merit for a new seedling. 



Under the will of the late W. W. 

 Rawson, all employees who had been with 

 him for ten consecutive years received a 

 bequest of $100. President Westwood 

 appointed the following committee on 

 resolutions for the Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club: T. J. Grey, J. A. Petti- 

 grew and W. P. Bich. 



In the Boston park department this 

 season fifteen tons of arsenate of lead

 pests. 



Welch Bros, are having a good sum- 

 mer shipping trade and are decidedly 

 optimistic as to fall business.

PHILADELPHIA. 



The Rising Eastern Market. 



The scarcity of choice asters is the 

 feature of a dull market. Really fine 

 asters, notably purples, have exceeded 

 listed quotations. The buyers will not 

 take poor asters and many are wasted. 

 Beauty, Kaiserin and Killarney are in 

 fair supply. The other varieties are 

 rarely seen in good form yet. There are 



few carnations. Valley is fine, but it has 

 weakened. There is some demand for 

 Easter lilies, which are extra good- 

 Gladioli continue in oversupply, espe- 

 cially the ordinary varieties. Hydran- 

 geas are much in evidence. Sweet peas 

 are plentiful. The out-of-town stock is 

 still excellent, but the demand is falling 

 off. There is no special demand for 

 other outdoor flowers or for greens. 



Pfuladelphians at Niagara Falls. 



The main body of delegates to the 

 S. A. F. convention left this city last 

 Monday morning over the Pennsylvania 

 railroad. Others went earlier, and a few 

 later by the Lehigh Valley. The follow- 

 ing list of those who went from this city 

 to Niagara Falls is therefore nearly, but
