PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



The Bising Eastern Market. 



The market has shown surprising' 

 strength during the week ending April 

 23. This is in direct contrast to the 

 weakness immediately after Easter. It 

 was then so bad that nothing worse 

 seemed possible. The improvement has 

 been steadily continued since, until now 

 we are enjoying a market so brisk that 

 it is hard to realize that it is the end 

 of the third week in April. The causes 

 for this reversal of ordinary conditions 

 are interesting. The immense crops of 

 plants and flowers marketed at Easter 

 naturally caused a reaction afterward. 

 This was intensified by the heavy crops 

 that missed Easter and by the southern 

 daffodils, then at their height. With 

 the passing of the heavy crops came the 

 dark, cool weather and a curtailment in 

 the variety of stock; no outdoor flow- 

 ers worth mentioning have yet re- 

 placed the sorts grown indoors that are 

 over. The fine quality of the stock 

 coming into the market has encouraged 

 the demand, now quite brisk. Flowers 

 are selling quickly at moderate prices, 

 with the supply at times unequal to the 

 demand. 



Beauties and carnations have ad- 

 vanced, while all other varieties are 

 firm. Valley has been in lively request 

 and numerous extra shipments have 

 been required on several days. Sweet 

 peas of the fancy grade are scarce, in- 

 deed. Snapdragon is sold in large quan- 

 tity at figures that show a decline. 

 There are few Easter lilies coming into 

 town, the fag end of the calla crop 

 taking their place. Violets are nearly 

 over. Emperor is the only daffodil from 

 indoors. White lilac is an important 

 factor. Carnations were really scarce 

 at times! Greens have been largely 

 used.

 ing men in the trade proves that they 

 are a unit in favoring the proposition. 

 Philadelphia's position in the floral 

 world as a leader in every branch of 

 activity entitles her to the care of the 

 fourth National Flower Show two years 



hence. 



Lancaster. 



The April meeting of the Lancaster 

 Florists' Club was held April 17, 

 It was the largest meeting in the his- 

 tory of the club, about seventy-five 

 members being present. As usual, the 

 members visited in a body before the 

 meeting. George W. Park was the host 



on this occasion and his seed establish- 

 ment proved interesting. Samuel >'• 

 Pennock was the speaker of the eve- 

 ning. He read a carefully prepared 

 paper giving his views on those fea- 

 tures of the wholesale cut flower busi- 

 ness that he thought might prove of 

 interest to the members, who afterward 

 quizzed him for some time. The best 

 of feeling prevailed. A vase of H. D- 

 Eohrer's fine red seedling carnation was 

 on exhibition.
