time of the convention. Mr. Shaeffer 

 selected a fine lot of novelties for the 

 store. He says he never before had so 

 good a time at a convention. Fr«d 

 Dinger entertained Messrs. Schaeffer 

 and Tubesin for the week. Mrs. Ayres 

 will go to Chicago September 5, to re- 

 main two weeks or longer. 



PHILADEIJ'HIA. 



The Blsing Eastern Market. 



The cut flower market is dull. The 

 outlet for the flowers coming into town 

 is insufScient. Asters and roses are 

 plentiful and other flowers are in mod- 

 erate supply. The quality is fair for 

 the season. There is no special de- 

 mand, either out of town or in the city. 



Mr. Zirkman's Betnm. 



Arthur Zirkman reached this city 

 early this week, after traversing the 

 continent from the Atlantic to the Pa- 

 cific and back again. He reached Chi- 

 cago August 19 and humorously de- 

 scribes the convention from a business 

 standpoint: "I had been asked by 

 Mr. Eschner to send in each evening 

 all orders received during the day. We 

 were so busy that it was impossible jto 

 do this. We worked hard all day and 

 late into the evening. By bedtime we 

 were ail too tired to write. Mr. Esch- 

 ner, of course, did not know this. 

 Wednesday, TTiursday and Friday 

 passed without a word from Chicago. 

 Everyone in the store kept asking him 

 how we were getting on at the con- 

 vention. Saturday he became desper- 

 ate and wired me something like this, 

 'Are you all illt We are a little in- 

 terested. Wire.' My telegram in an- 

 swer was, 'Too busy to write.' " 



Mr. and Mrs. Zirkman are to be 

 congratulated on their narrow escape 

 from what might have been an awk- 

 ward mix-up with the Mexican rebels 

 on the border near El Paso. 



The Palm of Today. 



The most casual glance through 

 Charles D. Ball's place at Holmesburg 

 shows that the kentia is still without 

 a rival. There are other fine palms, 

 there are other fine foliage plants, there 

 are pretty ferns; they are merely "the

 the chorus; anything you please to bring 

 out the strength of the central figure. 

 The kentias are extremely well grown. 

 They are clean, with suflScient diversity 

 in sizes to afford necessary variety. 

 The stock is as well grown as in the 

 past, which is saying a good deal. 

 There is one innovation; the cedar tub 

 for the decorative sizes has arrived. Of 

 the other varieties, the Cocos Weddel- 

 liana were particularly nice, just 

 rounding into form. The atmosphere 

 in and about the entire place bespoke 

 thrift and cleanliness. 



Various Notes. 



There is one important fact that 

 brings pride to the heart of every true 

 Philadelphian. It is that one-half of 

 the splendid exhibition that filled the 

 Coliseum at Chicago last week came 

 from the City of Brotherly Love. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. received their 

 convention orders bv express August 

 26. 



Miss Lucy Davis, of Jacksonville, 

 Fla., returned home last week, after a 

 fortnight's visit to New York city, 

 looking over and selecting floral fash- 

 ions for the store of her father, N. 

 Davis, the New York Floral Co. When 

 it is remembered that J. Austin is a 

 great admirer of the ladies, it is ob- 

 vious that Phil has been greatly fa- 

 vored in securing this note, and it is 

 to be hoped that Miss Davis will select 

 her floral fashions in Philadelphia in 

 the future. 



George D. Clark says that the aster 

 is the most important flower seed on 

 the list. 



The Robert Craig Co. sold nearly 

 5,000 erotons at Chicago last week.
