Wallace W. Faust says that the new 

 flower store which he and Charles W. 

 Moorby are interested in will be opened

The genial Frederick J. Michell is one 

 of the most popular men in Ridley Park. 



William J. Muth has an unfailing way 

 of conveying to the newspaper corre- 

 spondents whether the market is brisk or 

 dull by wordless telegraphy. When it is 

 dull his greeting is quiet; genial, with 

 possibly a shade of sadness, if things are 

 bad. When it is brisk, buoyant geniality 

 makes it clear that things are coming to 

 the Philadelphia Cut. 



Myers & Samtman are sending flowers 

 of My Maryland to Leo Niessen Co. The

The Market 



Conditions in the flower market show 

 a marked change from the weok before 

 Memorial day. Plenty of stock of all 

 kinds is arriving and business is only 

 moderate, but still as good as can be ex- 

 pected. There seems to be an unusually

heavy crop of June brides and this helps 

 to relieve the market; school graduations 

 and class days will relieve the burden a 

 little later. Roses are abundant and ex- 

 tra good for the season, but sell slowly 

 now. Beauties, Killarneys and Kaiserins 

 are noteworthy. Carnations are getting 

 smaller and with some are evidently near- 

 ing the end. Sweet peas continue to grow 

 short-stemmed, but are about the best 

 selling flower in the market. 



Of gladioli there is a good supply of 

 both the Gandavensis and nanus types. 

 Spanish iris are less plentiful. Peonies 

 are hardly noticeable yet, beyond some 

 of the old officinalis. Some singles will 

 appear this week, but it will be a week 

 later before doubles are out in force. 

 There are such perennials as German iris, 

 but these do not sell as well as the Span- 

 ish. Callas are practically over, Mar- 

 guerites are getting scarce and poor. Val- 



ley grown outdoors is still good. Lilit 

 are a slow sale and there is simply u 

 demand for such flowers as ten week;-' 

 stocks, antirrhinum, candytuft an ' 

 feverfew.
