Trade Review. 



Business is beginning to show a 

 slight improvement, although far from 

 being satisfactory. If the extreme hot 

 weather we have endured for the past 

 two weeks would only let up trade 

 would undouMeJ'ly be better 



Stock is improving right along, but 

 the retailer buys very cautiously and 

 still finds time to attend the afternoon 

 ball game. 



Some fine valley is now being sent 

 in by George & Allen, which sells fair- 

 ly well at $4 per 100. Beauties are 

 very scarce and no first class ones to 

 be had. The market is simply flooded 

 with tuberoses and even the fakirs 

 can hardly be coaxed to handle them. 

 Asters are fine this season, but are not 

 selling as they should. Flowers tha;t 

 broug'ht ?2 and $3 per 100 former 

 years are going slow now at a dollar. 

 Carnations are more plentiful, but 

 must be sold the day they are cut, 

 otherwise they are not salable. 



I saw the first Mums of the season 

 at Julius Baer's store on last Thurs- 

 day. He said they were from the Mc- 

 Fadden houses. They were not larger 

 than a good sized aster and on very 

 poor stems. 



Notes. 



Mrs. Magrie aged 65 years, mother of 

 George Magrie, of College Hill, died 

 Sept. 1st, after a long illness. 



C. C. Murphy, who has been confined 

 to his home for the past week, owing 

 to injuries received in another run- 

 away experience, is now able to be out 

 again. 



R. Witterstaetter can grow peaches 

 as well as carnations. He brought in 

 a sample last week that beats any- 

 thing in the market for size. 



J. A. Peterson has painted his store 

 white without and within. It is now 

 both attractive and neat and shows off 

 his stock to advantage. 



The city is full of old veterans tMs 

 week and quite a few of the craft from 

 out-of-town are among them. 



Max Rudolph and wife have re- 

 turned from Germany. B. 



JADOO IN FRANCE. 



The English "Devon and Exeter Ga- 

 zette" says: "A note from France in- 

 forms us that Jadoo is gaining ground 

 rapidly in that country, and that 

 everyone who uses it speaks well of it 

 for the vines as also for vegetables. 

 The heat at Margaux last week was 

 intense — 97 in the shade. In some 

 cases young vines planted in the ordi- 

 nary way were dying, but those plant- 

 ed in Jadoo looked quite fresh. The 

 effects of heat were, therefore, an 

 additional advertisement for the Jadoo 

 Company's product." 



MARINETTE. WIS.— A local daily 

 prints an enthusiastic description of 

 the contents of Mr. Geo. Vatter's new 

 greenhouses on State street.

into a tj-inch pot; in May being given another shift into an h- 

 inch pot, in pure Jadoo ribre. Later shifts were made in the 

 same material, arid about August 1 the plant received its final 

 shift into a la-inch pot, in which it was exhibited. When the 

 buds were set I started watering with Jadoo Liquid according 

 to directions about twice a week, gradually increasing the 

 strength until the blooms were half developed, when a little 

 of the Liquid in a much weakened form was given."
