and a eakewalk by Charlie Gibson, an 

 honorary member, who introduced a 

 striking effect by tripping his partner, 

 falling and rolling several times on the 

 floor. 



All present voted the afternoon and 

 evening a most enjoyable one and gave 

 Mr. and Mrs. Gasser three rousing cheers 

 and a tiger when they dispersed about 

 midnight. 



The Market. 



Flowers are rather scarce. Most all 

 the late asters are gone and not very 

 many carnations are coming in, and 

 what there are have very short stems. 

 Roses seem to be off crop with most 

 growers, and mums are not being cut 

 in sufficient quantity to cut any figure. 



Various Notes, 



At Caspar Aul's establishment things 

 are in good order. He has been cutting 

 some early mums but says there is little 

 call for them as yet. He was fortunate 

 with his asters, having managed to keep 

 the bugs off by steady handpicking. He 

 reports the loss of about 1,500 carna- 

 tions, caused by the water standing on 

 a portion of his field. Those in the 

 houses are rather small but are good 

 healthy looking plants. His mums look 

 fine and it looks as though he will again 

 capture the first prize given by the man- 

 agement nf the Sheriff St. market at the 

 annual show in November. 



John Lesher reports everything plant- 

 ed except a house of adiantums. The 

 house is now filled with palms which 

 he is selling rapidly, and when they are 

 gone he will plant with adiantums. 



At Herman Hart's the carnations are 

 in prime condition and in fact so is 

 everything else. His mums are not as 

 early as some but they are early enough 

 for the demand here. He has added to 

 his plant this year a show house extend- 

 ing about 40 feet along Detrnit street 

 and about 15 feet wide. This gives 

 him a much needed show room. There 

 is about two feet of glass under the 

 plate which is five feet above the ground. 

 This house is now filled with Boston 

 ferns in 6, 7 and 8-inch pans. He also 

 has a house of smaller plants in 5-inch 

 pots. 



He was giving his primroses and cycla- 

 men their last shift. He grows a great 

 many of these and does them well. 



Mr. A. Schmitt, of Glenville, has im- 

 proved rapidly and is now able to at- 

 tend to business again. 



F. R. Williams is rejoicing over the 

 arrival of a son. 



H. Blome, representing the Geo. Witt- 

 bold Co., Chicago, was a recent visitor.
