Trade Conditions. 



A majority of the craft report sum- 

 mer trade considerably better than for- 

 mer years. Business is not brisk, but 

 the demand has been steady with 

 enough funeral work now and then to 

 relieve the monotony. 



Roses are still very poor. Those cut 

 from young stock do not se'.l well on 

 account of their short stems. The 

 market is well stocked with good as- 

 ters of the Semple strain, which find a 

 ready sale and have forced carnations 

 to take a back seat for a while. Messrs. 

 George & Allen are sending in some 

 fine valley, which goes fairly well at 

 $4 per 100. Tuberoses are a glut on the 

 market, and even the fakiis can hardly 

 be coaxed to handle them. Sweet peas 

 are about over for this season; no good 

 ones to be had. 



Various Notes. 



A new stock company has been or- 

 ganized to revolutionize the florist 

 business of this city. Plans are not 

 mature just yet, but we can look for 

 great results in the near future. 



C. W. McKellar, of Chicago, spent 

 several days with us last week. He 

 was down to see his brother Albert, 

 who is a member of the Thirty-first 

 regiment, and expects to leave for the 

 Philippines this week. 



Robert Ehigott will leave next week 

 for Canon City, Col., where he will 

 spend several years on account of poar 

 health. 



Miss Bessie Critche'.l. who was in- 

 jured in a runaway accident last week, 

 is improving nicely and will be out in 

 a few days. 



Mr. E. Valdejo, of New Orleans, was 

 a caller this week. B 



DULUTH, MINN.— The fifth annual 

 exhibition of the Duluth Flower Show 

 Association was held Aug. 18 and 19. 



DECATUR, ILL.— Mrs. K. Daut, 

 Jos. Charoune, manager, is building 

 two houses 11x75, one 14x75 and one 

 16x75. Also is putting up new wind- 

 mill, tank, barn, sheds, etc., and 

 will have a model place when the im- 

 provements are completed.
