since, while others sold as many plants 

 as they had, and in some cases bought 

 quantities to fill orders. On the whole, 

 it seems probable that the season was 

 scarcely equal to last year, though busi- 

 ness is not over. 



William Munro, Garrettford, Pa., is 

 instaUing a new horizontal tubular boiler 

 with ample capacity to heat the new 

 house that will go up next spring and 

 probably each oncoming spring, let us 

 hope, for many springs to come. 



Adolph Miiller, North Wales, Pa., will 

 sail for Europe July 1 for a six weeks' 

 trip among the growers and nurserymen 

 of Holland, Germany and England. 



W. E. McKissick & Bros, have received 

 the first asters of the season. Their 

 Newport-grown Killarney are of fine 

 quality. 



The steamer Pisa for New York and 

 President Lincoln for Philadelphia 

 brought large invoices of sea mosses and 

 supplies to H. Bayersdorfer & Co. 



The East Washington Lane green- 

 houses of the William Graham Co. are 

 closed. 



The Robert Craig Co. is rapidly push- 

 ing work on the new houses at Nor- 

 wood, Pa. The sashbars are on two of 

 these houses, which Robert A. Craig hopes 

 will be ready for planting with 4-inch 

 carnations by July 1. Begonias, crotons 

 and pandurata orders have kept this com- 

 pany busy. 



The Henry A. Dreer Co. continues the 

 educational display in the windows of 

 the Chestnut street store. The varieties 

 shown are always correctly labeled.

Eighty degrees in the shade! Plenty 

 of stock, but quality not prime; demand 

 light, even with the wedding harvest and 

 the sweet girl graduates, and what more 

 need be said of the market? The yearly 

 clean-up and repainting and well-earned 

 holidays are close at hand. It has been 

 a strenuous season. 



Beauties keep their heads above water 

 better than any other of the roses. Some 

 of the roses show mildew. The new crop 

 is still in process of development. The

peony is king now, and those who at- 

 tended the convention at Queens and wit- 

 nessed the prize display and the wonder- 

 ful groupings of the acres of this grand 

 flower in the Cottage Gardens grounds 

 will readily subscribe to this. Better 

 flowers have never been seen in the New 

 York wholesale market. Prices for the 

 best are satisfactory. Anything mediocre 

 or small in flower is only a menace to 

 the legitimate market and had better be 

 kept at home. 



Carnations have fallen fast, and their 

 tendency to sleep is only natural. The 

 best bring fair prices. The peony people 

 last week fell in love with the Mrs. Ward 

 and Alma Ward varieties. John Young 

 was a visitor at Cottage Gardens Satur- 

 day, June 12, looking over the goods he 

 handles. 



The cut flower market seems to have 

 a wide source of orchid supplies, and the 



flower still grows in popularity, especially 

 the cattleyas, some specimens of which 

 now exhibited have never been excelled. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held its last meet- 

 ing for the season, until the second Mon- 

 day in September, on the evening of 

 June 12, and about sixty members at- 

 tended. The peony exhibit did not mate- 

 rialize, but a fine display of herbaceous 

 plants was made by W. A. Manda. Rob- 

 ert Schultz read the resolutions on the 

 death of Herman Dreyer, and W. H. 

 Marshall those on the death of Ex- 

 President John Scott, in which the en- 

 during record, brave example, untiring 

 industry and willing effort of each were 

 feelingly referred to. The home life and 

 devotion to the aged parents was fittingly 

 commemorated.
