During the summer months it is very often a hard matter to find sufficient good stock 

 to fill all orders. Through special effort on the part of some of our growers, we are 

 in a position to offer you, in most lines, cut flowers somewhat above the average in 

 quality. We recommend to you now for quality:

PHII.ADELPHIA. 



The BiMng Eastern Market. 



There is a healthier tone to the cut 

 flower market for the third week in 

 June, ending with the longest day of 

 the whole year. There are not so many 

 flowers as there were one week ago, 

 and they are of better average quality. 

 The growers are throwing out their 

 plants, beginning, of course, with the 

 poorest, and the cooler weather that 

 prevailed during the rainy spell has im- 

 proved the others. The orders, though 

 about as numerous, are smaller in size, 

 but prices are firmer. 



Peonies are over. The flowers put 

 in cold storage were hardly a success, 

 though some of them came out in good 

 shape. Lilium candidum has had its 

 brief reign. The season for gardenias 

 is fast drawing to a close. White roses 

 of the better grades have been rather 

 hard to obtain. Kaiserin being off 

 crop with many growers, White Killar- 

 ney- and Bride have furnished most of 

 the stock. Sweet peas have been abun. 

 dant and fine, with the demand about 

 equal to the supply. Carnations have 

 improved. Cattleyas are more in evi- 

 dence. The varieties now are gigas and 

 Gaskelliana. Valley has downs and 

 ups, with a fairly steady demand for 

 the best. Coreopsis and candytuft 

 abound. Shipping continues fairly 

 active. Greens are in moderate request. 



Various Notes. 



Whetstone & Co. report that there is 

 no change in prices on pipe and fit- 

 tings. Present figures will probably 

 hold good until September 1. 



The H. Bayersdorfer & Co. improve- 

 ments, giving increased floor space, are 

 rapidly progressing. Mr. Berkowitz says 

 a couple of weeks should see the work 

 completed. Mr. Berkowitz also says 

 that cork bark for rustic work has 

 been in demand. A single order for 

 250 bales was executed recently. 



William J. Muth is no longer with 

 the King Construction Co. 



Robert A. Stewart's store is closed. 



Eugene Bernheimer moved his family 

 to North Wales for the summer, 

 June 15. 



Parry & Lelache is the new whole-
