tiro failures and more shortages. Sum- 

 mer squash promise well, as do some 

 fields of winter squash. In fact, the 

 latter are very good, but acreage is 

 small, owing to back-sets and discour- 

 agements early in the season. The early 

 varieties of corn are coming on well, but 

 the later kinds are yet uncertain, and 

 will depend on weather in September. 



RECENT DECISIONS. 



Where a contract for the sale of seeds 

 was silent as to where the seeds were to 

 be weighed, it was competent to show a 

 custom among dealers in seeds at the 

 place of delivery not to accept Chamber 

 of Commerce weights. — Gehl v. Milw. 

 Prcd. Co. Supreme Court of "Wis. 



Where one agrees to buy of another al! 

 that part of a crop to be raised which 

 reaches a certain standard as to quality, 

 and he accepts a part of the crop, he 

 may refuse the remainder, if it falls be- 

 low such standard, even though a part 

 of those accepted fell below it, and he 

 had full knowledge thereof. — Norfolk 

 Beet Sugar Co. v. Berger. Supreme 

 Court of Nebraska. 



A telegraph company which receives a 

 message for transmission agrees to 

 transmit it accurately, and is answerable 

 for any damage produced by its delay or 

 mistake, if the loss was one which was 

 either expressly contracted against, or 

 was within the expectation of the sender 

 and the telegraph company as likely to 

 result if delay or mistake occurred.—

The Market. 



The hot spell is at an end and the 

 temperature is down as low as 50 degrees 

 at night. The quality of stock has im- 

 proved as cuts were reduced. The keep- 

 ing qualities of roses are especially bene- 

 fited, and there is much more stock that 

 will do for the shipping trade. As the 

 supply of outdoor stock diminishes, the 

 shipping trade increases and there is 

 quite an active out-of-town demand. Sev- 

 eral of the retailers were very busy with 

 large funeral orders, and the general re- 

 port is that business is unusually good. 

 Altogether it turned out to be by far the 

 best August we have ever known. 



Stock, both housed and in the field, is 

 looking remarkably well this year, and 

 growers are predicting great things. The 

 season was very favorable for carna- 

 tions, and the plants are fine. Boses, 

 likewise, are in good shape. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are coming along fast, and it 

 looks as though several varieties will be 

 in very early. The present cool spell will 

 check them somewhat, so that they will 

 not be in before the market is ready 

 for them. 



Stock quotations are very much the 

 same as last week, though the supply is 

 not so large, especially roses. If the

Various Notes. 



The forty-eighth annual fair of the 

 Hamilton County Agricultural Societv 

 drew out a warm competition for floral 

 honors between George & Allan and J. T. 

 Conger. Considering the season of the 

 year, very creditable displays were made. 

 Mr. Conger captured most of the prizes 

 for plants and George & Allan did like- 

 wise on cut flowers. The display was 

 the best seen at the fair for many years. 



During a heavy windstorm last week 

 Charles Jones' big plate glass show win- 

 dow was blown in. The loss was about 

 $200, but Mr. Jones carried insurance. 



The entries for the Fall Festival flow- 

 er shows are now closed. Every class 

 will be warmly contested, and I believe 

 that these shows will bring together the 

 finest lot of flowers even seen at this time 

 of year. I would advise all florists who 

 intend visiting the festival this year to 

 be sure to be present on flower days. 

 The first show, September 10, will be 

 devoted entirely to cut flowers and plants, 

 the second, September 17, to table dec- 

 orations. I venture to say that the table 

 decorations will be the finest ever seen 

 in this city. 



Wm. Murphy is now on his way to 

 Snow Island, where he will spend several 

 weeks. He will be joined later by C. C. 

 Murphy and daughter.
