The Market 



The less said of business the past week 

 the better. Tlie worst glut of Die season 

 was on and it was utterly impossible to 

 move the enormous supply of stock at 

 anything like paying figures. Also, the 

 fact that a good proportion of the stock 

 was anything but first-class, did not tend 

 to help matters. 



Owing to the late summer carnations 

 have been holding out in first-class style. 

 E. G. Gillett has been receiving some 

 extra good fancy ones from Mrs. E. T. 

 Grave, of Kichmond, Ind. Genevieve 

 Lord is especially good, with America 

 right alongside. 



Ethel Crocker is proving itself to be 

 a warm weather carnation. With some 

 of the growers in this vicinity it has done 

 no good till the present time; now it is 

 in fine form, proving that warm weather 

 has no terrors for this variety. Wm. 

 Murphy says that he believes this variety 

 needs a high temperature during the 

 winter, and he intends to experiment 

 along this line the coming season. 



Various Items. 



On Tuesday last a severe hail storm 

 visited the country a few miles west of 

 this city. It covered a territory about 

 one-half mile wide, leaving ruin in its 

 trail. Adam Frank was the only florist 

 in this track. His loss is about $300 and 

 he has no insurance. The Murphys, who 

 have large ranges of glass in this dis- 

 trict, escaped by a hair's breadth, as the 

 eastern edge of the storm passed over 

 their places, but there was no damage 

 done. J. A. Peterson also had a close 

 call. It was reported in the daily press 

 that in some places hail had drifted to 

 the depth of three feet. 



Jake Meier and Miss Margaret Mueller 

 were married last week. As also were 

 Mr. Ed Lester and Miss Nellie Lindsay. 



Martin Reukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., was in the city. C. J. Oiimer. 



BOSTON. 



The rose and strawberry show of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 

 scheduled for the 20th and 21st of this 

 month, is on account of the lateness of 

 the season necessarily postponed to 

 Wednesday and Thursday, the 2Gth and 

 27th. The paeony show will be held at 

 the same time. 



Des Moines, Ia. — D. B. Patterson has 

 succeeded to the business of the Livings- 

 ton Seed Store. Josiah Livingston, the 

 former owner, returns to Columbus, 0., 

 where he will go into business with his 

 brothers. Mr. Patterson was associated 

 in the business with Mr. Livingston here 

 for several years. 



Dover, Del. — The United States court 

 has released J. W. C. and W. W. Pullen, 

 who have been held on the charge of 

 fraudulently using the mails. The charge 

 was not sustained.
