The Weekly Florists' Review* 



July 28, 1910. 



A Shipload of Novelties 



Mr. Bayersdorfer returned to Philadelphia July 23rd, after spending three months in Earope 

 looking over all the florists' supplies of the old world. He secured the best of everything, the best of 

 the novelties and all that is desirable in standard supplies. The novelties are unusually fine this year, 

 Mr. Bayersdorfer says, so fine that he will be followed by a whole shipload of them, besides very many 

 other consignments. 



These supplies will be at your disposal. Do not fail to get in touch with us early. 



Better come to Philadelphia and see them, if that be possible, or to Rochester August 16, 17 and 

 18, where we shall spare no pains to have everything you want to see ready to show you. 



Don't forget we have everything in florists' supplies and that is saying a good deal. 



Yours to command.

 ford's rare holidays. 



Jacob Becker gave out the contract 

 last week for removing his greenhouses, 

 four in number, from Tiftieth and 

 Chestnut streets to Fifty-second and 

 Ludlow streets. 



"Can you point out a florist who has 

 been, in the business for a number of 

 years and has anything to show for 

 itf" was asked, .tust at that moment 

 Fred Berger smilingly entered. 



E. F. Whitmer, the lumber magnate, 

 has entered the floral arena. 



George E. Campbell, of Flourtown, is 

 a commissioner in his township. 



Smith, Lineaweaver & Co. report the 

 demand in certain of the domestic sizes 

 of anthracite coal is extremely dull and 

 for that reason most operations are run- 

 ning on restricted time — on an average 

 of about three days per week. This 

 condition has a tendency to keep prices 

 up on the steam sizes, for which there 

 is rather a good demand, and at full 

 prices. The bituminous coal trade is 

 decidedly slow and there is considerable 

 curtailment of output. The better 

 grades are bringing fair prices, while 

 the poor grades are offered at excep- 

 tionally low figures. There is consider- 

 able labor trouble in the Greensburg 

 and "Westmoreland fields of Westmore- 

 land county, which has made gas coal, 

 in the good grades, scarce, and prices 

 high. 



Samuel F. Lilley expects to move his 

 wholesale commission house from 1514 

 Sansom street to a convenient place 

 nearby next week, as the building he 

 now occupies is to be torn down.

The Market. 



The hot wave has returned. The 

 losses to the market gardeners and 

 growers of outdoor flowers will be 

 enormous if rain is longer delayed. Its 

 effects are already evident in the aster 

 shipments. Of gladioli there is such 

 an enormous quantity grown for the 

 New York market that the summer 

 rate of 50 cents per hundred is already

here for everything but the new and 

 choice varieties. Saturday saw a good 

 clean-up, everything of value being 

 disposed of and, owing to the scarcity, 

 at somewhat better prices. Everything 

 is scarce but gladioli, yet the demand 

 is light and any special raise in values 

 is impossible. Lilies fluctuated last 

 week between 3 cents and 6 cents and 

 closed at 4 cents to 5 cents. Enormous 

 quantities arrived and the quality was 

 perfect. 



American Beauties sold under $10 

 per hundred. In fact, one wholesaler 

 said you could buy Beauties at the 

 price of Killarney and Maid all through 

 the week, so light was the demand for 

 anything. A visit to the retail stores 

 found absolute quiet, with no stock in 

 the ice-boxes and dependence on the 

 telephone for stock for such orders as 

 came in. A few of each variety of 



rose, Richmond, Kaiserin, Marylan". 

 Bride, Killarney and Maid, arrive dail 

 and clean up readily if at all present.;

Few carnations worthy of the naiH'' 

 are coming in and the price is nominal; 

 1 cent to 2 cents is the quotation. Va' 

 ley holds fairly weM. Sweet peas ar' 

 seldom salable. The few orchids thar 

 arrive hold the old rate. It is "mark 

 ing time" season and the general 

 preparation for the coming season, witli 

 principals and employees taking ail- 

 vantage of holiday opportunities anil 

 waiting patiently for September. 



Various Notes. 



Only two weeks from Monday to con

 declared their intention to attend. The 

 special train for the New Yorkers 

 leaves Monday, August 15, at 9:50 a.
