PHILADELPHIA. 



The Eastern Market. 



The cut flower market has rallied 

 from last week's severe setback. Prices 

 are low, lower than they have been at 

 any time since Thanksgiving, but there 

 is a fair demand for roses and carna- 

 tions. Lilies are neglected, with the 

 possible exception of the finest valley. 

 Ordinary valley, Easter lilies and 

 callas are not wanted, while the poorer 

 grade of snapdragon also is in sad 

 plight. Sweet peas are in heavy sup- 

 ply. The best are sold at low prices, 

 while anything that is not just so is 

 hard to sell. When the check given to 

 business by last week's storm is con- 

 sidered, the market really is in sur- 

 prisingly good shape, with prospects of 

 further improvement; not in prices, but 

 in activity, which means better average 

 prices. 



Daffodils are in rather shorter supply; 

 the first Emperor has arrived. The finest 

 varieties of tulips are now in bloom. 

 Those that are well grown sell, but poor 

 stock is passed by. The smaller flow- 

 ers, such as daisies and pansies, are 

 more plentiful. Beauties are in shorter 

 supply than at any time this season, 

 with prospects of the new crop coming 

 on in a week or two at most. 



New Store of Berger Bros.

 Berger Bros., wholesale florists, have

 at 1225 Race street, less than half a

business home on Tuesday, March 24. 

 The new place, which is 20x115 feet, 

 with ceiling fifteen feet high, affords 

 more space and better light than they 

 have had heretofore. Besides largo 

 glass windows and door on Race street, 

 in front, and on a small street in the 

 rear, there are seven tall windows on 



the east side, giving remarkably fine 

 light. When fully equipped the new 

 store, with its basement, will make one 

 of the finest cut flower houses in the 

 city. 



The Berger brothers started in busi- 

 ness in the basement of 1220 Filbert 

 street about ten years ago. They moved
