PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



Philadelphia has suffered from too 

 much baseball, world's series, and heat 

 during the last week. The supply of 

 flowers has steadily increased, faster 

 than the demand, with the natural re- 

 sult. Business is fair, but not satis- 

 factory in the average prices. Dahlias 

 have improved a little, thanks to the 

 dews at night, though it is a wonder 

 how well they do without rain; some 

 don't. Chrysanthemums are coming in 

 faster with the brilliant sunshine. Polly 

 Bose, Smith's Advance, Early Snow, 

 white; Unaka and Glory of Pacific, 

 pink; Comoleta, Donatello, Chrysolora, 

 Golden Glow, yellow, and Tint of Gold, 

 bronze, are the principal varieties. Or- 

 chids are much more plentiful, cattleyas 

 particularly so. They have fallen in 

 price. Yellow roses are selling well. 

 There is no other special change. 



Two Fine Affairs. 



The million-dollar pier at Atlantic 

 City is the scene this week of the 

 electrical convention. For it J. J. 

 Habermehl's Sons have sent down five 

 carloads of material, besides drawing 

 heavily on stock there. The decora- 

 tions are exceedingly handsome; they 

 include those for the association proper, 

 or the general decoration of the ap- 

 proaches, the hall and the stage, and 

 also the decoration of each exhibitor's 

 individual booth. Naturally the ex- 

 hibitors take great pride in their 

 booths and require that the decoration 

 be worthy of the exhibit. There is a 

 beautiful garden scene on so elaborate

a scale that 1,500 square feet of grass 

 mats were required to cover its sur- 

 face. There are hedges and fine plants, 

 many electric lights and balconies and 

 tall columns, and all that goes to make 

 up a handsome indoor garden scene. 



A wedding of unusual splendor took 

 place at Haverford on the evening of 



October 14, when the daughter of one 

 of our most successful merchants was 

 married. The decorations, also by J. J- 

 Habermehl's Sons, were the subject <>f 

 much careful study to make them in 

 keeping with the surroundings. 



The ceremony took place at one evA 

 of the drawing room, beneath a bow<'r
