 catch the rush spirit so much and have 

 not ret appeared in large quantities. 



Notes. 



Memorial day is a good title for the 

 real closing day of the season, since we 

 have its memories to keep us alive 

 through the summer, and just as surely 

 Thanksgiving day is a good title for 

 the first day that gives us a little extra 

 lift in the fall. 



"W. H. Elliott's man claims the banner 

 cut of roses for Memorial day. He says 

 he marketed over 27,000 Thursday and 

 Friday mornings. That should make it 

 a memorial day for him indeed.

Various Items. 



That the climate is "equal to any- 

 thing" has been shown with emphasis 

 the past we«k. On the morning of May 

 29 the mercury droppea to 38 degrees 

 and in many localities there was frost 

 and ice. To-day (June 2) it has gone 

 up to 90 degrees and the summer cam- 

 paign seems to have opened. 



Trade dragged a good deal the earlier 

 part of last week, but toward its close 

 there was much animation, and Friday 

 and Saturday cleaned up pretty much 

 all offerings in the market. 



June opens with a rush, and all kinds 

 of flowers are in request for the num' 

 erous weddings to take place to-day and 

 to-morrow. Sweet peas and American 

 Beauties are in most active requisition. 

 Supplies, however, are ample for all 

 purposes, except perhaps of high grade 

 Beauties. 



Decoration Day tliis year is thought 

 to have been more generally observed 

 here in the matter of the floral adorti- 

 ment of graves than probably ever be- 

 fore, and the custom is extending be- 

 yond the decoration of the resting 

 places of former soldiers so as to be- 

 eome almost ap general as is this memor- 

 ial usage at Easter. A daily paper says 

 that at one of our cemeteries there 

 were 10,000 - visitors during the day. 

 This doubtless will increase the demand 

 for flowers and plants beyond that prev- 

 iously felt. 



One of our florists, Conrad Hess, of 

 Waverly, has been growing tomatoes 

 this season with much success. The va- 

 rieties are Lorillard and Mayflower, and 

 the fruit is abundant, large and well- 

 shaped. The crop is marketed in Xew 

 York, with results as satisfactory prob- 

 ably as if roses had been produced. Mr. 

 H. has the knack of making pretty much 

 e\ervthing succeed that he tries.

We fixd the Eetie'«" a great help, 

 and would not like to have to run the 

 place without it. — J. W, Glass, Owen 

 Sound, Ont. 



Batavia, III. — McAllister & Co. say 

 that Decoration Day trade was never be- 

 fore so good in the history of their es- 

 tablishment. They sold every plant of 

 any size and their immense stock of ge- 

 raniums was entirely cleaned out two 

 daj's prior to Decoration Day. All out- 

 door flowers were gone, which made the 

 demand for indoor cut flowers great. 

 Every flower, fern or piece of smilax 

 v.as sold by 10 a. m. of the 30th. Busi- 

 ness was fully 100 per cent better than 

 last year. 



Lincoln, Xeb. — Oiapin Bros, have 

 opened a new store at 12" South 13th 

 street. It is very handsomely fitted up 

 and has a fine large window. 



Casey, III. — C. H. Higbee is remod- 

 eling his greenhouses and when finished 

 will have everything strictly up to date.
