In a letter to Kennicott Bros. Co., 

 Crabb & Hunter, Grand Rapids, Mich., 

 report the loss of a large part of their 

 asters by frost last week. The field 

 was in splendid bearing when the frost 

 came and the loss is heavy, especially 

 as the flowers were selling well at 

 good prices. The white and purple 

 flowers sell the best, the pink ones go- 

 ing rather slowly. They report their 

 violets to be in extra fine shape and 

 they expect to begin picking by 

 Oct. 1. 



The stock at Reinberg Bros.' estab- 

 lishment is looking well and the qual- 

 ity of the flowers is rapidly improv^^ing. 

 The Beauties and Maids are starting 

 off nicely and the Meteors and Kaiser- 

 ins are holding up in good shape. 



Vaughan, McKella;- & Winterson are 

 working up a big stock of wheat 

 sheaves and have adopted the plan of 

 placing each sheaf 'n a large paper 

 bag by itself, Thif T)revents any pos- 

 sibility of damage 'o the sheaf when 

 handling it. 



Some extra fine B~ides for the season 

 were seen at E. H. Hunt's. The num- 

 ber is limited and they sell quickly at 

 $4 and $5 per 100.

 large supply of Brauties and Meteors

 having greatly en) >.rged the space de- 

 voted to these twa .-oses.

 though there has been a fair s.pring- 

 ling of weddings. 



T. D. Mosconesotes, the florist in the 

 Masonic Temple, is reported to have 

 been relieved of $1,250 by three sharp- 

 ers, who offered to enrich him by a 

 wire-tapping scheme.
