Trade and Personal Notes. 



The general opinion is that trade con- 

 ditions do not diiler materially this 

 summer from those of a year ago. We 

 have some fearfully dull days, then oc- 

 casionally a good one to relieve the mo- 

 notony. It is no reflection on the craft 

 to say that the work turned out during 

 the summer season was the poorest ever 

 seen here. We have simply done the 

 best possible with the stock available, 

 Kecent heavy rains have cooled the at- 

 mosphere, revived the spirits of man- 

 kind and improved vegetation somewhat. 

 Outside (lowers are coming in more plen- 

 tifully, but are inferior in quality. There 

 are no field-grown carnafions and asters 

 are of no account for the retail trade. 

 A better feeling exists among the grow- 

 ers since they were able to house carna- 

 tions. The young roses are making good 

 uroutli. though, like all other indoor 

 stock, have not fully recovered from the 

 terrible effects of the extreme heat. 



The state of Missouri, which for two 

 months was as dry as the desert of Sa- 

 hara, is gradually redeeming itself and 

 reports on crop yields are more en- 

 couraging. The peach crop is enornicus 

 and tons of this luscious fruit are to be 

 seen in the fruit market 



Arthur Newell, our only representa- 

 tive at the Buffalo convention, has re- 

 turned home full of enthusiasm and is 

 very emphatic in tejling the boys what 

 they missed by not attending the icn- 

 vention this year. He says the horticul- 

 tural features of the Pan-American ex- 

 ceeded his most sanguine expectations 

 and can compare them only to the beau- 

 tiful estates in old England, where in 

 his boyhood days he strolled through 

 the gardens at Sandringham with the 

 Prince of Wales. 



Miss Marie Dalley and Miss Jennie 

 Murray, our two lady representative 

 florists, have been sojourning in Wiscon- 

 sin for two weeks. 



The affable and businesslike Walter 



Mott called upon the trade here recently.

OMAHA. 



Trade seems to have revived during 

 the past week. There is no particular 

 demand, but a steady increase; this may 

 not hold out, but it looks like the begin-' 

 ning of a good fall trade. Prices are 

 about the same as a week ago, with car- 

 nations very scarce. 



Carnations are being planted by some 

 growers, while others are waiting for a 

 rain. 



J. J. Hess and wife have returned from 

 the lakes in Wisconsin. 



A. Donaghue, Jr., left for the west, 

 touching at Denver and Salt Lake.
