RUTHERFORD, N. J. 



DENVER, COL. 



Death of Wm. J. Crowe. 



At the age of 3-, Wm. J. Crowe diej 

 in this city on July 11th after a brief 

 but ineffectual struggle to regain his 

 health. He came here nearly two years 

 ago from Utiea, N. Y., in which city 

 his father, Peter Crowe, has suceessfull}' 

 conducted a rose | establishment for a 

 great many years. The sincere sympathy 

 of the craft in this city goes out to the 

 bereaved wife and the two little daugh- 

 ters and no less to the aged father and 

 mother, who have made every effort and 

 have spent money with a lavish hand in 

 an ineffectual attempt to save this only 

 child. 



He was loved by all who knew him 

 here and was affectionately called 

 "Billy" by his acquaintances. Exactly 

 one week before his death he attended 

 a picnic of the Park Floral Company em- 

 ployes, where he responded to a toast 

 and feelingly alluded to the affection 

 which he recognized was evidenced by 

 this nickname. He made a brave tight 

 and was cheerful and sunny to the last. 

 Fortunately when the end came it came 

 quickly and without pain. Mr. Valentine 

 accompanied the widow and the remains 

 to Utica where the interment took place 

 under the auspices of the Masonic order. 



MILWAUKEE. 



Summer dullness is now with us and 

 business is practically at a standstill. 

 Prices reached low water mark during 

 the week, prices on carnations going down 

 to cents per bunch to keep them cleaned 

 up. Good fancy brought as high as $1.50 

 per 100, but the bulk of them will not 

 average more than 50 cents per 100. 

 Eoses ranged from so much per bucket, 

 which was any old price, to $6 per 100 

 for good Kaiserin, Gates and Liberty. 

 Eetailers and street men all displayed 

 "10 cents per dozen" signs. The hot 

 weather after a protracted cool spell is 

 crowding the market with stock, . much 

 of the inferior grades of which goes to 

 the dump. Sweet peas are extremely 

 plentiful and sales at 1 cent per bunch 

 are rejiorted. Field grown plants which 

 were retarded by cool and wet weather 

 are now making rapid growth, and stock 

 has improved considerably the past week. 



Paul Mueller, Burlington, Wis., was a 

 visitor. ■ Incog. 



HOKNFXLSviLLE, N. Y.— The floods have 

 ruined all of the carnations, cannas and 

 other stock in the field at W. A. Wet- 

 lin's. The water has been higher than 

 ever before known hero. 



Syracuse, N. Y. — James J. Belden has 

 announced his intention to give a green- 

 liouse to Oakwood cemetery. He will 

 also fit out the greenhouse and proposes 

 to spend in all .$15,000 on it. Work on 

 the structure will not be commenced until 

 next spring.
