PHILADELPHIA. 



The Rising Eastern Market. 



The tide is at its lowest ebb. There 

 is really so little business that it is 

 unworthy of a detailed report. The 

 extremely hot weather that has so far 

 prevailed throughout July has spoiled 

 the remnant of the winter crops. Sweet 

 peas have been roasted until they were 

 glad to retire to the background. The 

 vanguard of the summer crops of asters 

 and gladioli are just beginning to 

 arrive in quantity and quality sufficient 

 to be dependable. There is just now 

 so little business that the market 

 hardly deserves more good flowers. 



The best stock coming into town 

 consists of eastern Beauties, some 

 really nice Kaiserin and My Maryland 

 among the roses, Easter lilies of fine 

 quality, valley and a few orchids. 



Outdoor gladioli have begun arriv- 

 ing in quantity from local growers. 

 America is the finest variety. Asters 

 from Lancaster county are now to be 

 had in quantity, while other nearbj' 

 places promise them in a few days. 

 They are timely, as the carnation crop 

 is sadly reduced in numbers. Sweet 

 peas have appeared from New York 

 state, replacing locally grown stock in 

 the first class. There is a fair amount 

 of trading in small flowers, such as 

 candytuft and feverfew, but their value 

 is trifling. 



Various Notes. 



Recent visitors include William 

 Gammage, London, Ont.; Rowland C. 

 Satterthwaite, West Grove, Pa., and 

 Harry E. Bates, North Tonawanda,

M. Rice & Co. have a promising nov- 

 elty in adjustable waterproof ribbon 

 and shield; it comes in dark green 

 and is designed to replace tinfoil on 

 bouquets and to form a neat, effec- 

 tive corsage shield. 



George Auegle, manager of the 

 Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., has 

 taken advantage of the extreme dull- 

 ness for his vacation. 



J. A. Smith, manager of the Henry 

 F. Michell Co., has returned from his 

 holiday, spent in strenuous labor on 

 his Moorestown farm.

H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. B. are ex- 

 pected home from Europe July 22 or 23. 



M. C. Dunn was parti<mlarly active 

 last week when sad occasions in 

 Swedesboro, N. J., and in Germantown, 

 Pa., called for his greatest skill. 



The Robert Craig Co. has worked 

 up a good stock of Jewel, considered 

 the best red alternanthera, imported 

 from England a year or two ago. Mr. 

 Craig says that Jewel has distanced 

 brilliantissima, paronychioides major 

 and the other reds. ]n coleus the old 

 standard-bearers still lead. 



The Quaker City Rubber Co. reports 

 an active demand for hose and gasket. 



A visitor to the Bellevue-Stratford 

 is impressed with the idea that J. J. 

 Habermehl 's Sons are prepared to han- 

 dle anything that may come in sum- 

 mer. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. are busily en- 

 gaged receiving incoming novelties. 

 One of the most attractive is their 

 new gun-metal. The name is particu- 

 larly descriptive; you can almost see 

 the vases while thinking of the name. 

 A gun-metal horseshoe makes a fetch- 

 ing favor. The week's importations 

 run to natural, delicate foliage, velour 

 finish, and ideally prepared in scarlet, 

 lavender, heliotrope, etc. 



Jacob Becker is enjoying his vaca- 

 tion at Stone Harbor, N. J. 



Eerger Bros, are offering their 

 friends an unusual opportunity to se- 

 cure good bronze galax leaves. 



John R. Andre, Doylestown, Pa., has 

 had a good season. His addition and 

 improvements are complete and his 

 plants promise well for the coming sea- 

 son. Mr. Andre has about 15,000 roses,
