The Bising Eastern Market. 



The cut flower market has been active 

 during the week ending July 19. The 

 activity is that of the mill race, rather 

 than the mighty river. The supply of 

 ^wers is unusually small, proving quite 

 inadequate to meet the demand. This 

 was especially evident Saturday, July 15, 

 when, with many funeral orders to fill, 

 the local retailers bought nearly every- 

 thing obtainable without satisfactorily 

 filling all their orders. Conditions prom- 

 ise to improve under the influence of 

 fruitful showers and cooler weather. 

 Asters are increasing slowly in numbers. 

 They bring excellent prices, some nice 

 Queen of the Market realizing $.3 per 

 hundred, a good price made possible by 

 th*e absence of all save a few carnations. 

 Gladioli are abundant; they sell well. 

 The small white flowers, outdoor grown, 

 such as candytuft, pyrethrum, achillea 

 and petunia, have realized surprisingly 

 good figures. Most of the roses are not 

 what can be called nice, but there are 

 some excellent Kaiserin, with Beauties, 

 Maryland and Killarney in smaller num- 

 bers. Easter lilies have had a great run. 

 The crops are light with nearly all the 

 growers. Valley has had an off week. 

 The principal forcers have had some 

 mean pips of the California pear kind; 

 they look hearty outside, but inside they 

 are gone. Greens are abundant. The 

 demand for them is light. 



Various Notes. 



The Robert Craig Co. has closed a con- 

 tract with the Lord & Burnham Co. for 

 four greenhouses, 44x150 feet each, to be 

 erected at Norwood, Delaware county, 

 Pa. The material is expected to be on 

 the ground early in August. The build- 

 ing will then be pushed rapidly to com- 

 pletion. The houses are intended for 

 crotons, dracaenas and other Craig special- 

 ties. 



Harry Berger, member of the firm of 

 Berger Bros., left this week on his sum- 

 mer vacation. Mr. Berger has taken his 

 family to Machias, Me., where they will
