with Double White Killarney. This 

 is significant. 



B. Eschner, though a busy man, finds 

 time to do a little gardening at his 

 home in Elkins Park. 



S. S. Skidelsky says that the diffi- 

 culty in propagating Pink Delight is 

 a bar to its general cultivation. Two 

 varieties of Dorner's, White Wonder 

 and that famous one, he considers most 

 promising. 



Frank Adelberger says that where 

 you retail all you grow a great big 

 place is not a necessity. 



M. Rice & Co. report Memorial day 

 orders increasing. Prospects are 

 bright. 



Lord & Burnham Co. will erect an 

 iron frame rose house 72x600, and a 

 passage house 8x30 to connect the rose 

 house with the boiler shed, for Malcolm 

 Franklin, at Yardley, Pa. The house 

 will be a duplicate of the Heacock 



house at Eoelofs and is scheduled for 

 completion June 5. Phil.

"Glutted" expresses in a word the 

 condition of the market. Never before, 

 at this time of the year, has the mar- 

 ket been so filled with really choice 

 stock that would not move except at 

 great sacrifice. Practically the only 

 lines that clean up are choice Amer- 

 ican Beauties, iris and gladioli, and 

 these do so only because of the limited 

 supply. 



Killarney, White Killarney, Rich- 

 mond and Bride are as fine as at any 

 time of the year. Still, there is no 

 active demand for them. The carna- 

 tion glut continues and keeps growing 

 larger day by day. Even white is af- 

 fected with the rest. The largest accu- 



mulation, however, is in Enchantress. 

 Bulbous stock presents the same con- 

 dition as carnations. Some of the 

 growers missed Easter and their tulips 

 are coming in now. The stock is good, 

 but not in active demand. The Easter 

 lily and calla supply is easily adequate. 

 Sweet peas are moving tolerably well, 

 but are not nearly cleaning up as they 

 should. Double violets are beginning 

 to find the weather too warm for them 

 to ship well. The same was true for 

 several days about the middle of the 

 week preceding Easter. 



The business in the flower market 

 Sjaturday, April 13, was nothing to brag 

 of. The florists were well represented 

 and had an excellent display, but it 

 coaxed the coin from the people's 

 purses slowly and as a result at the 

 close considerable stock had to be 

 hauled back home again.
