The various florist establishments 



taking on their usual mid-summer 



pearanee. Benches that vrere filled 



overflowing ;i m< ntli affo are emntv : 



mums. We are i,, have a show tlii~ fall 

 ami it i- for this thai these early plant- 

 ings are made. We have some era. k 

 mum growers in our city ami some 

 grand blooms should be seen this fall. 

 The rose growers an- in the midst of re- 

 planting and some of the carnation 

 growers are preparing to replant early 

 this summer. Qualities in roses ami car- 

 nations are poor with but few excep- 

 tions, mostly Crocker and F. Hill. Peo- 

 nies are gone and like the chrysanthe- 

 mums we are glad to see the first ones 

 and are just as glad to see the last ones 

 They sold well. There are good supplii * 

 of hardy flowers from the Meld-, exeept 

 in white. Funeral Hoik stuff i- really 

 scarce just now and will be so until as- 

 ters come in. 



Last week was graduation week at 

 the high school and on account of the 

 class having chosen the daisy as their 

 flower there was a great demand for any- 

 thing that looked like a daisy. One 

 party sold 10.000 daisies and another 

 firm sold 6,000 coreopsis. 



There have been many weddings that 

 required decorations of average quality, 

 but the decorations that Wiegand put 

 up for the Russell-Lilly wedding was 

 one of the finest things that the writer 

 has ever had the pleasure to see. In 

 the church they used their large speci- 

 men palms to excellent advantage and 

 these, with large quantities of cut i,.-,-. 

 made a great show. 



At the house they used a lot of fancy- 

 leaved ealadiums and when the lights 

 were turned on these mad.- a lirh ma — 

 of color that was simply grand. There 

 ought to be a great future for these 

 fancy-leaved ealadiums for high-class 

 decorating. Only roses were used in t la- 

 way of cut flowers, but there were thou- 

 sands of these and the way they were 

 arranged showed a high degree of artis- 

 tic skill. 



The Bertermann place, on East Wash- 

 ington street, was struck by lightning 

 June 7 and a great deal of glass broken
