.T. A. Pettigrew says that "the tree 

 that may fairly be said to be the best 

 city tree for hard conditions is the tree

 dings are scarce and there is very little 

 in the line of funeral work. Flowers, ex- 

 cept roses, are very plentiful and can 

 be had for any old price. The bottom 

 dropped completely out of the aster mar

 ers can be sold at all. The street venders 

 sell bunches containing two dozen flowers. 

 nicely arranged with ferns, for 10 cents.

 will be over for the year and the chrys- 

 anthemums will take their places. Sweet 

 peas are a drug at present and can be 

 had for anything offered. Gladioli and 

 dahlias are not so plentiful, but then 

 is an abundance of other outdoor Both

 of fair quality. Roses are not plentiful, 

 exeept poor flowers, and they are in fair 

 demand. American Beauties bring from
