Lace Bouquet Holders 

 Commencement Baskets 



€t You want your bouquets to be as handsome as they can be made — then use our Bouquet 

 Holders. They set bouquets off as nothing else can. White, Pink and Lavender are the 

 colors. The same thing in paper for cheap bunches. 



^ The stylish commencement basket is our Sunshine Basket. The name "Sunshine" is 



given to a finish put on in our factory — a two-tone finish that everyone admires, 

 them.

of color everywhere, with bits of land- 

 scape eflfect formerly lacking, even in 

 that lovely suburb. 



Robert A. Craig's planting in front 

 of his home is an object lesson in hand- 

 some subtropical bedding. On either 

 side of the center walk are raised cir- 

 cular beds filled with crotons of richest 

 hues. On either side of the front porch 

 steps a long^ narrow bed is filled with 

 Draca?na Bronze Beauty, Pandanus Veit- 

 chii and fancy crotons. Two handsome 

 specimen hydrangeas, each bearing 

 many heads of fine bloom, and a well 

 kept lawn, add to the picturesque eifect 

 of the vine-clad house. 



Miss Elizabeth Pennock, daughter of 

 Abram L. Pennock, was married June 5. 



There has been a falling off in the 

 demand for commencement flowers in 

 this city, due, it is said, to the failure 

 of many of the gifts to reach those for 

 whom they were intended. This should 

 be remedied by the florist, who could 

 arrange to have someone at the stage 

 door to receive and distribute the 

 flowers. 



J. J. Habermehl 's Sons had a large 

 decoration at Atlantic City this week. 



Edward Reid has been extremely busy 

 with out-of-town commencement orders. 



The cold weather .Tune 9 and 10 was 

 extraordinary. The thermometers reg- 

 istered around 40 degrees, something 

 unheard-of here, the old inhabitants say. 



David Fuerstenberg, president of the 

 Florex Gardens, was married June 9. 

 His bride was Miss Fannie Muhre. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have a letter 

 from an Atlantic City florist of which 

 they are proud. It congratulates the 

 house on making a delivery of florists' 

 supplies in Atlantic City by automobile.

B. Eschner writes a friend in the 

 trade from Brussels: "Here you can 

 find flowers sold out in the open every 

 day in the year and at your own price. 

 Brussels is a fine city and has some fine 

 flower stores. ' ' 



HoUis, N. H.— George W. Coburn & 

 Son report excellent business, the bed- 

 ding plant trade being extra good in 

 spite of unusually cold weather for so 

 late in the season.

The Market. 



Business following Memorial (lay 

 quieted down considerably. The mar- 

 ket has been full of stock and prices 

 have dropped. Koses are generaHy 

 coming in wide open, but the supply 

 of tight stock is in excess of the de- 

 mand. American Beauty roses, too, are 



plentiful and can be had at low prices. 

 In the case of carnations it was n"* 

 so much a question of price as of secur- 

 ing a customer for them. The market 

 is overstocked with plumosus. Peonie* 

 are not selling and there is practically 



no demand for the large quantities 



of 



yellow and white daisies. Sprays oi 

 rambler roses are moving exceptionally 

 well, due to the many weddings and 

 the entertainments incident to the seiD'
