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: ^ V

The Rising Eastern Market. 



"Business has reached a summer 

 level. ' ' That is the way a leading 

 wholesaler described the situation this 

 last week in June, a terse expression 

 that clearly conveys the idea of the 

 •■onditions governing the cut flower mar- 

 ket. There is a fair amount of busi- 

 ness out of town, chiefly for the last 

 of the important weddings, and a little 

 doing in town, but not much. The 

 feature of the market is the improve- 

 ment in Easter lilies, now an important 

 factor. They are good, also plentiful. 

 Valley is disposed of in quantity. The 

 quality is excellent. Roses are plenti- 

 ful. The best Beauties come from down 

 east. The local stock is of lower grade, 

 in most cases. Kaiserins are improving 

 and there are more of them. Mary- 

 lands are fair and there are some nice 

 Brides. Cattleyas are scarce. There 

 are lots of nice sweet peas, but not 

 many gilt-edged blossoms. Carnations 

 are not nearly so plentiful; some few 

 still are nice. Cornflower, coreopsis 

 and candytuft are abundant. Fancy 

 water lilies are in fair supply. Double 

 white petunias are selling well. Greens 

 are not selling.

 Robert Craig presented the hospitable 

 Commodore with a set of Balzac 's works

 ing his appreciation. Speeches were 

 also made by William F. Gude and 

 William J. Stewart. Most of this party

The Pennsylvania Society. 



There has been for years a feeling 

 among leading horticulturists in and 

 about Philadelphia that the Pennsyl- 

 vania Horticultural Society did its work 

 well in some respects and neglected it 

 sadly in others. The management stands 

 for "all that is best in horticulture; its

courtesy, liberality and fair dealing 

 are unquestioned, but it makes little 

 effort to interest the general public or 

 bring them to the shows in Horticul- 

 tural hall. The large special and the 

 regular monthly shows are, as a rule, 

 poorly attended. These shows attract 

 the initiated, who are aware of the high 

 standard of excellence almost invaria- 

 bly shown in the exhibits, but they do 

 not attract those who are uninitiated, 

 the masses who would gladly come were
