with flowers. The aquilegias are pass- 

 ing out of bloom and the paeonies are 

 quite past. Anchusia Italia has a pro- 

 fusion of its blue blossoms and Coreop- 

 sis angustitolia supplies numerous 

 patches of yellow. The Penzance sweet 

 briers were a beautiful show during 

 the weelc and the other roses have 

 bloomed unusually well this year. 

 Rosa rubrifolia has done the best It 

 could. The flowers are pretty, though 

 inconspicuous, but the foliage makes it 

 very valuable in producing pretty ef- 

 fects in the shrubbery borders. By the 

 way, in shrubs Philadelphus coronaria 

 grandiflora is a great improvement on 

 the type, and the show of bloom is 

 great now. 



In the park conservatories there is a 

 great display of fuchsias now, but the 

 most striking feature of all is a grand 

 plant of bougainvillea which is now a 

 mass of bloom. 



Bowling. 



At a meeting of the Bowling Club 

 held last Friday evening it was ar- 

 ranged to play a series of fifteen 

 games to determine the composition of 

 the team to represent Chicago in the 

 national contest at New York in Au- 

 gust. Three games are to be played 

 each Friday evening at Bensinger's al- 

 leys, on Randolph street, until further 

 notice. Geo. Stollery was voted a place 

 on the team anyway, as on account of 

 his going to Europe he will be unable 

 to play in the series, though he ex- 

 pects to be back in time to p'.ay at 

 New York. 



The Chicago club has been entered 

 for the New York contest and in the 

 National Florists' Bowling League. 



A special match of ten games has 

 been arranged between Messrs. Deg- 

 nan, Hauswirth and Winterson, for a 

 bowling ball, total pins to count. Two 

 games have been played, with total 

 pins as follows: Degnan, 321; Haus- 

 wirth, 304; Winterson, 272. 



Following the meeting four games 

 were rolled and the scores follow:

of marlvet conditions. The only thing 

 sought for is first-grade rose stock, 

 which is very hard to obtain; in fact, 

 fii-st-class roses have not been seen in 

 this market for the past two weeks. 

 Kaiserins and Meteors are about the 

 only good roses to be had. These 

 varieties sell readily at $3 and $.5 per 

 100. Brides and Maids are badly mil- 

 dewed and small; $2 is about all they 

 bring. Cool weather of late has been 

 favorable to the young stock that was 

 planted out early for summer cutting 

 and some of the growers will soon b? 

 cutting from this stock to supply the 

 trade. Carnations have been in good 

 demand and are still selling at $1 pei- 

 100; they are small but the color is 

 good. Paeonies, excepting a few 

 shipped in fi'om Chicago, are out of 

 the market ,and so is candidum, and 

 about the only flowers that are plenti- 

 ful are sweet peas. These may be had 

 in any quantity at $2 per 1.000 or 25 

 cents per 100. The quality is fine and 

 this year they seem to sell better than 

 ever. 



Special Meeting. 



All the members, except two, at- 

 tended the special meeting of the new 

 exhibition committee Wednesday aft- 

 ernoon. Secretary Schray was in- 

 structed to draw up the preliminary 

 list, for the fall show, as outlined by 

 the committee. The show will last 

 only three days, November 14, 15 and 

 16, and the preliminary list will be 

 ready for distribution about July 5. 

 The hall has not yet been decided 

 upon. 



The exhibition committee this year 

 is J. J. Beneke, chairman; F. H. Mein- 

 hardt, assistant manager; F. C. Web- 

 er, special prizer; Emil Schray, secre- 

 tary; C. C. Sanders, treasurer: John 

 W. Kunz, F. J. Fillmore and Carl 

 Beyer, on hall, printing and adver- 

 tising. Any information regarding 

 the show may be had from any of the 

 members mentioned above. After the 

 meeting the committee, who are all 

 members of the bowling club, rolled 

 a few games. Charlie Kuehn, as will 

 be seen by the score, has not forgot- 

 ten how to roll. The other members
