Various Notes. 



Since my last notes nothing has oc- 

 curred liere to lessen the anxiety of the 

 tiorists. A few dry thunderstorms have 

 given us no relief from the torrid weath- 

 er. The present condition of affajrs 

 would discourage the most optimistic. 

 We liear of chickens being hatched with- 

 out the services of the hen or the use 

 of the incubator. But vegetation will 

 not flourish where there is no moisture 

 juid the mercury registers 110 degrees in 

 the shade. This summer might be re- 

 corded in the annals of floriculture as a 

 summer without flowers. There is abso- 

 lutely no material to do business with 

 and some good funeral orders were re- 

 fused last week as a consequence. The 

 lieat is also having its eff'ect on palms 

 nnd ferns and there will have to be a 

 jiencral cleaning out and replenishing 

 of tills stock for fall trade. 



W. L. Rock has closed his Eleventh 

 street store for two months. Inability to 

 get stock to keep up appearances fully 

 justifies it. Carnations of good quality 

 from .Toliet, 111., are still to be seen at 

 liis Walnut street place. 



Among the growers the usual summer 

 cleaning and remodeling is progressing 

 slowly. Those who are building new 

 houses are weary of the undertaking and 



say it -wniild In- i :i^(iiiable to expect 



a full (lay - \, ik in-iii the help owing 

 to the e_\.(--i\r l.rii, All.ert Barbe has 

 torn down all his i;lil laiige and is build- 

 ing a new range of 10,000 feet; this will, 

 when completed, give him the second 

 largest place in town. Wlien last seen 

 by the writer he was arrayed in a pe- 

 culiar oriental suit and working under 

 the shade of an umbrella. Mr. Barbe 

 says the Chinaman is the only one who 

 knows how to dress for comfort in hot 

 weather. 



The great exposition at BufTalo and 

 the cnniins ennvention are the chief top- 

 ifs fiii- ..iiivfM-.ilinn here at present; yet 

 at III)- \u it iirj \\(. cannot state definitely 

 hu\v l;uur ;i .Legation will attend from 

 Kansas eity. 



Arthur Newell, who believes that every 

 florist should take a vacation, will leave 

 this week with his fainily, for South 

 Lawn. Wis. After a few immersions in 

 Lake Jlichigan Arthur will journev on 

 to Bufl'alo to see all the sishts of the 

 Midway and will tell us all about it 

 when he returns. 



Mr. J. M. Gasser, of Cleveland, O., 

 spent a week with us this month. 



H. J. Millatt is spending two weeks' 

 vacation in Colorado. 



As we finish these notes a long wished 

 for rain has begun falling: but it will 

 require 12 inches of water to thoroughly 

 soak the earth. H. J. 1\.
