WEDDING IDEAS 



The question is often asked, "Will it pay to buy a Wedding Outfit for one smart wedding? " 

 It will pay you and pay you well. There are two reasons: First, because a smart wedding 

 decoration artistically arranged, with the aid of a suitable wedding outfit, is an advertisement 

 for you and your business that you can get in no other way — it shows the people you want to 

 reach what you can do; they will see your work and remember it when they require something 

 handsome in floral decorations. The second reason is, because you can do more business 

 when you are prepared for it. By having a Wedding Outfit ready you can often secure an 

 order that would be lost were you unprepared. 



Better order our Wedding Outfit now. Our factory is at your command.

boy" who bought several thousand 

 geraniums and sold them within two 

 days. 



The joint committees of the Phila- 

 delphia Florists' Club and Pennsyl- 

 vania Horticultural Society- have issued 

 a letter to those interested asking their 

 cooperation in making the coming fall 

 flower show a brilliant success. This 

 early start augurs well for the enter- 

 prise. 



The West Philadelphia Flower Shop 

 executed the contract for the decora- 

 tion of the new roof garden on the 

 Continental hotel. The contract was a 

 large, one, requiring over 200 bales of 

 cork bark and many plants and vines. 



The employees of the Henry F. 

 Michell Co. have organized their base- 

 ball team for 1911, and the following 

 officers have been elected: President, 

 F. J. Michell, Jr.; manager, Maurice 

 Fuld; captain, T. A. Eadon. Games 

 have been scheduled with teams repre- 

 senting Henry A. Dreer, William Henry 

 Maule, Robt. Craig Co. and John Burton. 

 The management of the Michell team 

 will be pleased to hear from any seed 

 house or florists' association having a 

 team in the field, to fill one vacant 

 date each in July and August. 



Dale & Yost have just completed an- 

 other house, 18x75. Business with 

 them increases steadily. 



BOSTON. 



The Market. 



The various school graduation and 

 commencement exercises have helped 

 business quite a little during the last 

 few days. Without this welcome fillip, 

 trade would have been as dead as the 

 proverbial door nail. Flowers are not 

 used so largely for the school exercises 

 as was the case a few years ago, the 

 school authorities forbidding scholars 

 to carry them in scale cases. 



Good roses are not plentiful, but 

 there are many poor oii«8. The quality, 

 thanks to the continued cool weather, 

 is good for the season. American 

 Beauties, Garnots, Killarneys and 

 Kaiserins are ruling favorites. Car- 

 nations are getting poor and many are 

 spidery. The number is decreasing, as

some growers are throwing out their 

 stock, preparatory to replanting. Sweet 

 peas from indoors are nearly over. 

 There are now more arrivals from out- 

 doors, but the supply is as yet inade- 

 quate. Peonies of light pink and white 

 shades have met with a good sale. Re- 

 cent thunder rains have, however, 

 damaged many and another week will 

 see the end of them. Hybrid per- 

 petual roses, such as Brunner and 

 Jacqueminot, have come this week 

 from one or two growers and sold 

 well. 



There is Spanish iris from outdoors 

 of good quality. Gladioli, such as Mrs. 

 Francis King, America, Dawn, etc., are 



more plentiful, but not selling particu- 

 larly well. Such flowers as stocks, 

 feverfews, etc., are hard to move at 

 any price. Valley has sold moderately 

 well; lilies quite x^^Jorly- Cattleyas 

 are in ample supply still and low in 

 price. Asparagus has been selling 

 quite well; adiantum more sluggishly.
