Business the past «eek has greatly im- 

 proved. Brides and Maids are coming 

 in freely, but are rather small. Carna- 

 tions are still very poor. Asters are 

 plentiful and a drug on the market. 



Mr. Jacob Schulz, C. H. Kunzman and 

 August Boehner have returnea from 

 Ashmille, and report having a pleasant 

 time. 



C. H. Kunzman 's new carnation house 

 is a model of beauty; size ot glass, 

 24x36. 



Victor Math is has remodeled two 

 bouses. 



Mrs. Coenen, ivho spent a week in In- 

 diana, has returned greatly improved in 

 health. 



Hy. Puchs' little boy, who has been 

 quite ill with typhoid fever, has nearly 

 recovered. 



Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schulz celebrated 

 the twenty-fifth anniversary of their 

 marriage Aug. 23d. The house was beau- 

 tifully decorated for the occasion, and 

 they received numerous and costly pres- 

 ents. The Kentucky Society of Florists 

 presented Mr. Schulz with a very hand- 

 some leather chair. 



Wm. Mann, who spent two weeks at 

 Atlantic City, has returned and looks the 

 picture of health. 



Henry Huth, out at St. Stephen's 

 cemetery, is putting up two more green- 

 houses. He has .some very fine pot chrys-

While returning from Asheville we 

 stopped one day at Cincinnati and one 

 at St. Louis, enjoying the parks and 

 zoo at the former place and the botan- 

 ical garden at the latter, where we found 

 Mr. Gurney, the superintendent, in his 

 ever*pleasant mood. At his request we 

 accompanied him on an inspection of 

 Tower Grove Park, and we found his 

 aquatics were remarkably fine. Xvm- 

 phsea Frank Trelease is, we think, "the 

 finest nympha^a we have ever seen. N. 

 Zanzibarensis was also extra fine, while 

 the Victorias are wonders to behold. 

 During our drive about the park Mr. 

 Gurney called our attention to the va- 

 rious interesting specimens and landscape 

 views there to be seen in their grandeur. 



We arrived home tired and sleepy, but 

 were soon at work among our flower beds, 

 feeling satisfied that the trip to the 

 convention was indeed an educational 

 journey. J. T. D. F.

 Dear Sir: I have used your Wire 

 Carnation Supports for the last two 

 vears. in all about 12,000. They fill 

 ihe bill in every particular. Nothing 

 could be more satisfactory, and it 

 would give me a great ceal of pleas- 

 ure if I can bespeak a good word for 

 vou to the trade, and you are at lib- 

 erty to refer to me at any time. 

 Yours very truly,

 Dear Sir:— After using your Mode! 

 carnation support in two of our 

 houses the past winter we have come 

 to the conclusion that it is perfrctly 

 idapted to supporting carnation 

 plaLts and shall use them on all our 

 plants the coming season. We were 

 much pleased with the simplicity, strength and neat ap- 

 pearance ot the support. Yours t-uly.
