PHIIiADELFHIA. 



The Bisiqg Eastern Market. 



The close of August finds little 

 change in the cut flower market, save 

 for the unmistakable evidence that the 

 tide of supply is rising. This is not 

 shown by the asters or by the gla- 

 dioli, which have reached their height, 

 but by the first shipments of indoor 

 carnations and by the arrival of the 

 dahlia. Expert judges of the market 

 believe that the second Monday in Sep- 

 tember is early enough to commence 

 heavy cutting in the dahlia fields, but 

 there are always a few to be had be- 

 fore that time, and some fair flowers 

 in all colors have arrived. The first 

 carnations are nice stock for the sea- 

 son, insuflicient in quantity to have 

 much effect on the market. 



Asters are still the leading flowers. 

 They are obtainable in all grades and 

 in all colors. The demand for them is 

 fair; it may be called excellent in the 

 better grades. Gladioli are more abun- 

 dant than a week ago. The temporary 

 shortage in the supply has disappeared. 

 They are selling fairly well. 



Beauties are in excess of the demand. 

 Valley is selling well. There are hardly 

 enough good roses in the smaller varie- 

 ties, but poor stock is overabundant. 

 Cattleyas are scarce. A few gardenias 

 can be had. The Easter lily continues 

 an important flower. Outdoor flowers 

 have been curtailed and are now im- 

 proved by the wet weather. 



Taken all in all, the market is fair 

 for August, better in many cases than 

 in previous years. 



Andalusia. 



The noon accommodation for Bristol 

 carried a party of five over the Pennsyl- 

 vania railroad to Andalusia. There was 

 Henry F. Michell, looking as fresh as 

 though he had never known a care; his 

 secretary of state, the brilliant Paul F. 

 Richter; Thomas Brown, who presides 

 over domains of du«al magnitude, and 

 C. F. Schermerhorn, exponent of the 

 Baker-Vawter system of keeping 

 'counts from kinking. 



The visit was to inspect the new trial 

 grounds of the Henry F. Michell Co. 

 The grounds comprise a little under 

 twenty acres, most conveniently situ- 

 ated adjoining the station of Andalusia, 

 stretching for 700 feet along the rail- 

 road on the southeast and 1,300 feet 

 back to the trolley on the northwest. 



A hedge of California privet has been 

 planted dround the entire field, as a 

 more suitable setting for such a place 

 than the fence that formerly existed. 

 The railroad front of the lot appealed 

 to the advertising sense of Henry F. 

 Michell. "We are great advertisers," 

 he said, "and can show the people our 

 grass seeds; 250 trains pass here daily." 

 Something has been done already in 

 grass seed, for there were trials of two 

 or three dozen different sorts carefully 

 labeled side by side. Drainage is re- 

 ceiving careful attention; an expert 

 from Harrisburg has laid out the lines 

 that should be followed to secure per- 

 fect drainage and it is planned to use 

 5,000 drain tiles this fall. When the 

 purchase was made the ground was prac- 

 tically clear, barring weeds — not a 

 house or tree anywhere. Now there is 

 a comfortable dwelling for the manager, 

 Manson Roberts; a stable with horses 

 wagons and cart; a windmill and ele- 

 vated tank covering a well of pure arte-
