The greenhouses are beginning to look 

 like business again, since nearly all 

 of them have been repaired from 

 the effects of the hail, and the 

 stock of roses, carnations and mums is 

 looking good in most of them. Asters 

 in general have been a failure, both 

 through disease and the beetle, and I 

 also find that they have another enemy, 

 as our esteemed friend, Adam Balmer, 

 can testify. He had a large patch of 

 asters, from which he expected to get at 

 least half a crop, but when he came out 

 one morning he found that the third en- 

 emy had appeared during the night in 

 the shape of some cows which had 

 broken in and eaten or pulled up the 

 whole business. 



The new foreman, Mr. Smith, of De- 

 troit, has assumed his duties at the 

 Park Floral Co.'s. 



On Tuesday, the 19th, a jolly lot of 

 florists left for Colorado Springs as 

 judges of the flower show held under the 

 auspices of the El Paso Horticultural 

 Society. They were John Berry, Adam 

 Balmer, Eobert Kurth, Phil Scott, E. 

 Flohr and F. T. Kushmore. They 

 were royally entertained by the florists 

 of that place, and as the boys of the 

 Springs are noted for their hospitality, 

 one could not help enjoying himself. 



We visited the establishments of 

 Smith & Wright, Evans and William 

 Clark and found them all busy, for the 

 Springs being a summer resort and filled 

 to overflowing with visitors, the sum- 

 mer trade is about as good as the win- 

 ter. Smith & Wright are about to form 

 a partnership with Mr. Evans, and as 

 they will be backed with unlimited capi- 

 tal, we expect to see them the leading 

 firm. At Crump's everything was in 

 good shape, and especially the mums, and 

 as Mr. Crump is one of the most genial 

 and popular of florists, he has no trouble 

 in getting and holding a large trade. 

 We were particularly indebted to Messrs. 

 Crump, Johnson and Smith for courte- 

 sies extended to us while at the Springs, 

 and may their shadows never grow less. 



We understand that Ben Boldt is hav- 

 ing trouble with his artesian well, and 

 thev have to use water from the lake, 

 which is full of alkali. They will most 

 probably have to put down another well. 



Not very much doing in the way of 

 cut flowers, though first-class stock of 

 roses and carnations is scarce and brings 

 good prices. Thorne. 



Whitehall, Mich. — Thomas Denham 

 of Chicago has purchased the C. W. Eed- 

 fern greenhouses, also Thos. C. Eogers' 

 lease of same.

 Dear Sir; I have used your Wire 

 Carnation Supports for the last two 

 i ears, in all about 12,U00. They fill 

 ihe bill in every particular. Nothing 

 could be more satisfactory, and it 

 would give me a great deal of pleas- 

 ure if 1 can bespeak a good word for 

 \ ou to the trade, and you are at lib- 

 erty to refer to me at any time. 

 Yours very truly, 



A. L. Thorne.

 Dear Sir:— After usingyour Model 

 carnation support in two of our 

 houses the past winter we have come 

 tn the conclusion that it is perfectly 

 adapted to supporting carnation 

 placts and shall use them on all our 

 plants the coming season. We were 

 much pleased with the simplicity, strength and neat ap- 

 pearance of the support. Yours truly,
