PTm.ADELPHIA. 



The Bising Eastern lHarket. 



The cut flower market continues to 

 improve, despite unfavorable weather 

 conditions. The heat has been sufficient 

 to take the life out of the demand for 

 flowers; nobody wants them when they 

 droop immediately, unless it is a case 

 of necessity. Flowers are evidently be- 

 coming a necessity, happily for us, 

 placing the business upon li more sub- 

 stantial footing that keeps our best 

 men from other paths. 



Dahlias are in their glory now, only 

 it isn't dahlia weather. Cool nights 

 put life into the stock. The demand for 

 dahlias testifies to their popular favor. 

 A local shop bought 5,000 September 

 23. Orders for 1,000 or more, usually 

 of a single color, sometimes of one 

 variety, are not infrequent. Prices are 

 well maintained. 



Boses stand next to dahlias as the 

 stock in which there is most trading. 

 Beauties continue to lead. They are 

 better value at listed prices than any 

 other variety. Boses, like dahlias, are 

 in excess of the demand. Asters are 

 fast going. It is difficult to fill a 

 large order for high grade stock. Car- 

 nations, on the other hand, are rapidly 

 improving and more good stock with 

 stems of salable length is arriving 

 each day. Cattleyas are also increas- 

 ing. Orders are now taken in hundred 

 lots at $40 that would have been an 

 impossibility a week ago, both be- 

 cause of no cattleyas and because of 

 no orders. The price of Golden Glow 

 chrysanthemums has advanced, chiefly 

 due to the quality of the stock, now 

 fine; due also^ to the fact that quality 

 is appreciated. Valley is rather dull. 

 It is too hot for violets. The demand 

 for greens, notably plumosus, is in- 

 creasing. 



The Dahlia Meeting. 



The dahlia meeting of the Pennsyl- 

 vania Horticultural Society was held in 

 the lecture room of Horticultural hall 

 on the afternoon and evening of Sep- 

 tember 19, as mentioned in this column 

 last week. The principal exhibitors 

 were W. Atlee Burpee & Co., who had 

 a fine exhibit, effectively staged. The 

 arrangement was relieved by nine of

their handsome pyramids or trophies. A 

 feature of their exhibit was the new 

 decorative variety, Golden West. 



Bassett & Weller, Hammonton, N. J., 

 staged eight varieties, among them a 

 seedling of their own, A 303, 1910, old 

 rose, which was exceptionally beautiful. 

 A. & G. Rosbach, Pemberton, N. J., had 

 an excellent exhibit of thirty-seven 

 varieties of dahlias of fine quality and 

 size. An interesting exhibit of theirs 

 was the African daisy. 



The other exhibitors were John Mc- 

 Cleary, in vegetables; John Little, Rob- 

 ert Morrow and David Aiken, in asters; 

 Thomas Roberts, Jr., and David Aiken, 

 in zinnias; John Little and David 

 Aiken, in tomatoes. Some exhibits of 

 outdoor flowers were shown in good 

 form.

in his new business home, his coat off, 

 a cheerful expression on his face, as 

 the work of the last two months was 

 nearing completion. The old Philadel- 

 phia home has been changed past rec- 

 ognition; one thing remains — its dig- 

 nity. Though no words were spoken, 

 it was clear that Mr. Fox had grasped 

 that idea, improving it to the utmost. 

 While the old-time residence has been 

 turned into a shop, the impression is 

 the same; there is an air of elegance 

 and dignity throughout, suggestive of 

 taste and refinement.
