 always get your price for them. The quality of our stock is 

 all that can be desired, and probably better than you would 

 expect to find them at this time of the year. Special prices 

 in fifty or hundred lots. ' /^

PHILADELPHIA. 



The Bising Eastern Market. 



June has passed, leaving a larger 

 quantity of flowers in the market than 

 any former June, a quantity quite be- 

 yond the market's capacity and a con- 

 dition rather unsatisfactory to those 

 who look upon June as one of their 

 busiest months. The cool nights that 

 have prevailed throughout most of the 

 month have helped keep the stock in 

 better shape than usual so late in the 

 season. This partly accounts for the 

 excess of salable flowers. Business is 

 falling off faster than the supply. 



Hoses dominate the market. Long- 

 stemmed white are the only scarce kind. 

 Especially good values are offered in 

 anything else. There are some good 

 carnations, but the bulk of the stock 

 is not good on days like June 29, when 

 the mercury passed 90 degrees. 



Easter lilies are an important factor 

 where a decorative white flower can 

 be used. Sweet peas are overabundant, 

 selling at low prices, the poor ones not 

 at all. Cattleyas and valley are in 

 fair favor. Gladioli have arrived from 

 the south; they are not equal to the 

 indoor grown. There are some cen- 

 taureas and a little colored candytuft. 

 Asters are the newest flowers. There 

 have been asters before this season, 

 mostly short-stemmed, small flowered, 

 white, but these asters are the kind 

 that can be sold for cut flowers. They 

 may be said to mark the arrival of 

 the midsummer season.
