Mr. Reukauf replied sententioualy: 

 "Tickets for their vacation trips." 



Jolin McPhee, formerly with Edward 

 Reid, who migrated to Virginia and 

 then to Canada, paid a pleasant visit 

 to his friends in this city last week. 



Emil H. Geschick is greatly pleased 

 with the fine quality of the orchids im- 

 ported this year. 



W. W. Crawford reports excellent 

 business in cut flowers and ferns at his 

 new West Philadelphia flower shop.

The Market. 



Prices for a limited quantity of the 

 best of anything held last week, but 

 when the early morning demand ceased 

 the clean-up was made at about any 

 offer, full slips of roses seldom going 

 above $10 per thousand, and immense 

 quantities later in the week going at 

 half that price. Killarney and Kaiserin 

 are abundant. The best carnations sold 

 Saturday at $1 per hundred. The street 

 men are making their last stand before 

 leaving for their usual seashore fruit 

 selling, so this source of relief is ovtir. 



There is no scarcity of anything, even 

 orchids sharing in the general recession. 

 Lilies are lower. "Valley has fallen to 

 2 cents for the best, and only the indoor 

 sweet peas are now available. Peonies 

 have departed. Stocks, snapdragons, 

 etc., do not sell at all, not even for 

 enough to pay express charges. 



Following the great storm of June 18, 

 the menace of a market flooded with 

 blooms of shrubs and roses is for the 

 moment removed. 



The weddings are about all in. Wad- 

 ley & Smythe drew the prize in the 

 Roosevelt venture, and Beauties and 

 orchids were the flowers. All the lead- 

 ing retailers have had a satisfactory 

 June to date, but there is nothing now 

 to relieve the summer dullness. Every- 

 body, wholesale and retail, has settled 

 down to the inevitable quiet and re- 

 cuperation of the holiday season. 



Public Market Seems Assured. 



As a result of the public hearing 

 given June 20 by the aldermanic com-

niittee on streets, the flower market at 

 Fifty-ninth street seems assured. 



There was a large attendance, includ- 

 ing members of the board of aldermen, 

 property owners in the neighborhood 

 of the proposed market, and florists, 

 many of the prominent growers in addi- 

 tion to those speaking being present. It 

 developed that thfe principal opposition 

 comes from the florists of Staten Island. 

 Their objections were presented by the 

 president of the borough of Richmond 

 and by Florist Hunt, who declared the 

 distance from the ferry made the 

 project impossible for Staten Island 

 growers. He said that if the city would 

 build a market on the Canal street site 

 he would guarantee a revenue of ten 

 per cent on the investment. 



A. L. Miller, president of the New 

 York Florists' Club; John Birnie, An- 

 ton Schultheis and Attorney Siebrecht 



all made strong addresses in favor i 

 the proposed market and the pro.ici i 

 also was endorsed by several memboi-^ 

 of the board of aldermen, by properi . 

 owners in the neighborhood, and 1"' 

 those interested in the improvement n' 

 conditions on the east side. "T!i' 

 greatest good to the greatest number 

 was the argument. 



After the hearing it was stated tii;t 

 the aldermanic committee in executivt' 

 session voted to report favorably to tlu' 

 full board of aldermen at its next meet 

 ing.
