HAIL. 



Ed. Florists' Review: — Will you 

 kindly publish a few words for us 

 through your valued paper in regard 

 to the recent hailstorm which visited 

 us? We wish to say we are thaniiful 

 we were members of "The Florists' 

 Hail Association," and thaiik the offi- 

 cers for the promptness with ■which 

 they paid our claim. 



We most heartily recommend the 

 association to all who are not insured. 

 It is a safe and sound investment, and 

 one which every florist owes himself. 

 He might say, "what is the use of in- 

 surance. I have been in business for 

 years and never had a hailstorm." 

 That is true, but the storm may come. 

 The few dollars paid every year as a 

 safeguard, may mean hundreds when 

 the hail does come. During our thirty- 

 one years of business we never had a 

 severe hail, until May 14, 1S98, when 

 we lost over 28,000 feet of glass, and 

 we hope it will be the last. As soon 

 as we get the glass in again, will in- 

 sure double.

HUNT'S REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MAR- 

 KET. 

 There Is not much to be said in regard to 

 the past week. The Decoration Day business 

 o\er trade resumed the even tenor of its way, 

 much as it was during the middle of May. 

 There has been, however, a decided shorten- 

 ing in the rose supply, so that stock that 

 shows fair size and is free from mildew has 

 sold out fairly well. The great bulk of re- 

 ceipts, however, average small, with a 

 tendency to open up quickly, and sells for 

 what can be had for it. Carnations are 

 abundant and of fair quality. Smilax is 

 plentiful and good, prices are going down- 

 ward. Lilies of fair quality are to be had in 

 plenty, but sales drag. Out-door valley about 

 at an end, a little still being received from 

 points north. Paeonies are coming from all 

 directions in quantity, prices are low. Out- 

 door grown sweet peas made their first ap- 

 pearance last week and from now on will be 

 much in evidence.

CANTON, O. — Burglars recently 

 hlew open the safe in the office of Mr. 

 Charles Brown, the florist. A large 

 quantity of powder was used and the 

 explosion caused damage amounting 

 to several hundred dollars, but the 

 burglars, in their haste, secured only 

 a few dollars in currency and a gold 

 watch
