PHII.ADELPHIA. 



The Rising Eastern Market. 



Everyone expected the first week in 

 June would be quite as good as the last 

 week in May and three days following, 

 but it was not. In fact, it was as bad 

 as the other was good. There were 

 plenty of weddings and commencements, 

 out of town as well as in. Gifts to the 

 new judges and other affairs also helped, 

 but it made only a slight impression on 

 the market. There were more flowers 

 left when business was over each day 

 than could possibly be used and the re- 

 turns will undoubtedly make the grow- 

 ers feel that the season is over. 



Carnations have suffered most. The 

 price on good sales of select stock has 

 been fair, although much lower than a 

 week ago, but the average price will 

 be terribly low, because the good sales 

 are limited and much of the stock is 

 inferior. Boses have shared in the de- 

 pression. The better grades have sold 

 well, comparatively speaking, but the 

 poorer grades have been in heavy over- 

 supply. Sweet peas were abundant and 

 sold well on most days, but sometimes 

 they have run away ahead of the de- 

 mand. Easter lilies are more plentiful 

 and lower in price. There are lots of 

 pink and white peonies; so many that 

 they are sold at low figures. There is a 

 heavy supply of valley, with a fair 

 number of good orders to support it, 

 generally. Three or four varieties of 

 cattleyas have experienced rather a 

 light demand. There are still a few 

 gardenias and a great many snapdrag- 

 ons, mostly yellow and white. Aspara- 

 gus sprays have been in good demand, 

 but there is a falling off in the call for 

 adiantum. Cornflower is plentiful. 



The Ladies. 



The field of flowers is affording an 

 opportunity to woman of working on 

 an equality with man in business. The 

 beauty of form, of color, of combina- 

 tion in plant and flower appeals irre-

sistibly to woman, offering an incentive 

 to effort apart from mere mercenary 

 gain. Many women are attracted by 

 the artists' work in the flower stores, 

 a few by the business life in the seed 

 stores and wholesale cut flower houses, 

 and a few by the cultural work in the 

 greenhouses. A mention of some of 

 the most successful and best known 

 women in our busy city may be of in- 

 terest. 



Mrs. Fred Ehret, first as assistant and 

 now as head of one of our successful 

 uptown stores, has a foremost place in 

 the floral work. She is clever in all 

 departments of retail flower work as 

 well as a good manager. 



Mrs. Drew Baer has come into prom- 

 inence with the rapid rise of the L n- 

 don Flower Shop. She is from over 

 the bright, blue sea and is a born sal "S- 

 woman of the best type, who has T\on 

 many friends during her short sojoi rn 

 among us. 



The modesty of the junior partner in 

 one of the wholesale houses will jot 

 permit more definite mention. To lie' 

 is entrusted the maintenance of a high 

 standard of business integrity. To her 

 unfailing cheerfulness many callers are 

 indebted for a few moments of briglit' 

 ness in a busy day. 



Miss Catharine Aitken takes entire 

 charge of the executive department of
