The Bising Eastern Market. 



Business is at the low water mark. 

 There is some local demand and a fair 

 amount of shipping, with only a mod- 

 erate supply of good flowers. The heat 

 has been fearful and with the glorious 

 Fourth, our one real holiday of the 

 - year, has retarded business. Easter 

 lilies are good and extremely plentiful 

 — too plentiful for the demand — and 

 prices are low. Valley and Beauties 

 have sold fairly well on some days; also 

 good Maryland and Kaiserin. Cattleyas 

 are rather dull. Nice Shasta daisies are 

 to be seen. Sweet peas are abundant. 

 There are some presentable carnations. 

 The market is burdened with poor roses. 

 A few asters have appeared. Dagger 

 ferns are most active among the greens. 

 Water lilies have but moderate support 

 from the buyers. 



Horticultural Hall. 



The Glorious Fourth found the plant- 

 ing complete at the east end and in the 

 parterre, a big piece of work success- 

 fully accomplished. Oglesby B. Paul 

 will tell you that it will be another 

 month before the effect of the winter's 

 plans, so carefully^made in the office, 

 can be judged. Xavia E. Schmidt will 

 tell you that the plants are not all he 

 would like them to be; the immense 

 quantity that he was obliged to pre- 

 pare in a certain time, and with a lim- 

 ited force at his disposal, interfered 

 with their quality, but they are there 

 and growing, and in a little while all 

 else will be forgotten. The impression 

 given by the changes, unfortunately 

 unassisted by expert guidance, is that 

 .there have been modifications rather 

 than changes. Bolder effects have been 

 attempted on the parterre. Groups of 

 cannas, alternating with variegated 

 agaves, form the circles from which the 

 festoons are hung. The festoons them- 

 selves have departed from the light 

 coloring that has prevailed during the 

 last few seasons. They are formed of 

 dark varieties of alternantheras, with 

 an occasional lighter band. The circles 

 in the center of the parterre are filled 

 with solid colors, with here and there a 



EASTER LILIES 



We have a splendid stock of well-grown Easter Lilies, just suited for 

 cut flower work. They have long stems, with not too many 

 flowers, which are good sized. 



Price: $1.25 per dozen; $8.00 per 100.

border. Flowering and foliage plants 

 are used in turn. The canna, presum- 

 ably of dwarf er sorts, has gained a foot- 

 hold here. There was one solid bed of 

 ageratum, used heretofore as a border 

 only. Crotons are a feature of the 

 parterre. The few beds devoted to 

 these showy foliage plants are particu- 

 larly pleasing, full and well colored. 



The feature of the planting at the 

 east end is the cactus. The beds filled 

 with large cacti and echeverias were 

 wonders in their way. The perfection

of design and precision in execution 

 excite admiration. These beds are in 

 the foreground, on the drive facing the 

 main entrance to the hall, while behind 

 the landscape is brightened with the gay 

 colors of the beds of flowering plants, 

 relieved by the rich green of well kept 

 turf. The whole formed a cool picture, 

 pleasant to see.
