The riiihKloli)hians who visited tlie 

 great Boston orchid show agree that it 

 is unlikely that they will see anything 

 so fine this year or next. W. A. 

 Manda's combination of tillandsias and 

 cut orchids, rubber tubed, was great. 



\V! K. McKissick & Bros, have Eas- 

 ter lilies in midwinter form. 



The .'Jj^O-acre seed farm of the 1). 

 Landreth Seed Co. is in fine condition 

 at this time; fifty-five acres of tonia 

 tqoH are out, also three and one half 

 acres of Salvia sitlendens. Tiie large 

 crop of- turnip seed will be harvested 

 this week. The cabbage and kale fields 

 are in a mass of glorious bloom, while 

 everywhere are extensive ])lantings ot 

 flowers and grass, making the entire 

 farm under heavy cultivation. 



Israel Kosuosky has returned from 

 the south. 



J. Otto Thilow is making a great 

 success of the chairmanship of the es- 

 say committee of the Florists' Club. 



The rose and peony committee meet- 

 ing of the Pennsylvania Horticultural 

 Society brought strong competition. 

 Hybrid tea varieties were exceptionally 

 fine.

The Market. 



Business has been most satisfactory 

 the last week. We have been experienc- 

 ing some unusually cold, wet weather 

 , for this time of the year, causing much 

 sickness. Funeral work has been making 

 big demands on the market. The usual 

 .Tune weddings are creating a' call for 

 peas, valley, etc., which it is hard to 

 meet. 



Dark, rainy days shortened up the 

 supply of stock of every description. 

 .Tust at present prices remain about the 

 same as last week, but there is every in- 

 dication that we will have warmer 

 weather and clear skies; consequently, 

 there will be a big increase in the supply, 

 and naturally, the prices will come down. 

 Sweet peas have been quite scarce of

late. Koses and carnations are arriving 

 in fairly large quantities and of fine 

 quality. Few peonies iiave been avail- 

 aliie so far this season, still it needs 

 only a few days of warm weather to 

 bring in a large crop. Japanese irises, 

 which are becoming more popular eadi 

 year, are about gone for this season. 



Various Notes. 



Decorations for the Taft banquet at 

 the Light Guard Armory were elaborately 

 carried out by J. Breitmeyer's Sons. 

 Covers were spread over 800 feet of table 

 space, the decorations of which consisted 

 chiefly of thousands of Richmond roses, 

 arranged in Imperial chinaware ferneries 

 and vases. In addition, many thousand 

 carnations were strewn loosely on the 

 tables. Laurel Avreathing was festooned 

 from column to column. An imn^ense 

 bank of palms was arranged back of the 

 speakers' table. Hon. P. Breitmeyer, 



mayor of our Ijeautiful city, occupieil tlx 

 third seat to the left of the chief execn 

 tive of the United States. 



("has. Plumb, president of our chil' 

 sails on the steamer Adriatic from Ne\^ 

 York, .Tune 28, for an extended Euroj'eai 

 trip. It is his intention to visit the priii 

 cipal cities in ?]ngland, Scotland, Oei 

 many, Holland and France, although lii^ 

 main reason for making the trip is to s< i 

 his mother and help celebrate her eightv 

 sixth birthday. 



Friends of Fred Pautke will regret tn 

 hear of the death of his daughter, Elsie 

 who died June 4 after a lingering illness^. 

 She was 4 years and 9 months old. -^

A new stunt was pulled off in this city 

 last week. The morning after the Tat' 

 banquet a young man, claiming to be in
