The store and greenhouses of his son, 

 William J. Young, Jr., are on the adjoin- 

 ing property. 



Elmer W. Gaehring, of Kensington, has 

 had several church and home weddings 

 lately, a good augury for the coming 

 season. 



Walter P. Stokes has completed three 

 houses 28x150 at his Floracroft Green- 

 houses, Moorestown, N. J. Mr. Stokes is 

 delighted with the King construction. 

 When asked what was to go in the houses, 

 Mr. Stokes replied with a smile that 

 "there might be some Bostons." 



John E. Andre, Doylestown, Pa., has 

 planted his entire place in Killarney this 

 season. The first flowers came this week. 



William F. Bassett, Hammonton, Pa., 

 has a new decorative dahlia, a white 

 seedling of promise. 



That new electric sign put up last week 

 in front of street is another evi- 

 dence of the "ever onward" policy 

 adopted by this firm. It may be a com- 

 monplace note, but when you know that 

 a bolt from the sign (not from the 

 heavens) struck the writer of this on the 

 head, it is clear why that note was 

 written. 



The Philadelphia Cut Flower Co. has 

 some wonderful dahlias from the Peacock 

 Dahlia Co. By the way, Geo. Angle is 

 home. 



Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, have 

 commenced work on five houses, 25x166, 

 to be planted with roses next spring.

The Market 



The heavy supplies of asters, gladioli, 

 cosmos, dahlias and other outdoor flowers 

 are still the dominating factor in the 

 market. The supply of these should 

 gradually decline after the present week, 

 but at present the output is unwieldy. A 

 killing frost, if it comes during Septem- 

 ber, will cause a sharp advance in prices. 

 Asters are selling at much the same prices 

 as a week ago, but best quality flowers 

 are making rather more money. Gladioli 

 are holding out remarkably well; light 

 shades continue in the best demand.

Dahlias do not sell well. Cosmos has an 

 irregular call. 



American Beauty roses are steadily im- 

 proving and the best grades are higher 

 in price, iioth Killarney and White Kil- 

 larney are arriving, of much improved 

 quality, the latter being specially good. 

 Kaiserin continues good and sells well. 

 Bride and Maid are as yet rather small. 

 Carnations are not plentiful and such as 

 arrive are easily disposed of. Valley 

 shows a hardening tendency. The cat- 

 tleya scarcity will soon be relieved, the 

 first labiatas being already to hand. 

 Golden Glow continues to be the only 

 chrysanthemum seen, but other sorts are 

 promised in a few days, while violet spe- 

 cialists say they will have a first picking 

 of singles in a few days. Lilies are 

 abundant, but a slow sale; so are tube- 



roses. The latter flower is not popular 

 nowadays here. Green stock of all kinds 

 is of excellent quality. 



Club Field Day. 



Heavy showers on the morning of Sep- 

 tember 11 somewhat affected the attend- 

 ance at the field day held by the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club at the Bay State 

 Nurseries, North Abington. By noon, 

 however, the clouds broke away and the 

 day proved delightful. About sixty were 

 on hand at 1:20 at North Abington, in- 

 cluding a dozen ladies. Dinner was 

 served immediately on arrival, following 

 which a number of automobiles and tal- 

 lyho coaches were boarded and a tour of 

 the several nurseries made. The previous 

 night's rain had made everything look 

 fresh and beautiful and the big blocks of 

 deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs
