Final Report of Wallace S. Wing, Assignee 



The final report of Wallace S. Wing, 

 assignee of Fred. S. Voung, nurseryman, 

 who made an assignment last May, was 

 filed in the county clerk's office, Decem- 

 ber 15, and shows a balance on hand 

 amounting to f647.6i, for distribtition 

 among his creditors. 



Death of Mr. H. E. Boardman. 



Henry E. Boardman died Decemlier 

 14, aged fifty-seven years. For many 

 years he was connected with his father in 

 the nursery business in this city, but 

 since the old gentleman's death, streets 

 were laid ottt throttgh the old grounds 

 and buildings were erected in fast succes- 

 sion. Quite an extensive business was 

 done by the firm at one time ami they 

 were well known all over the country. 

 In later years Mr. Boardman took a live 

 interest in the importation and breeding 

 of Holstein cattle, of which he had one 

 of the largest and best known herds in 

 this state. His wife and a son, E. S. 

 Boardman, survive him, also one daugh- 

 ter. 



Ciuistmas Forecast. 



Orders for Christmas are coming quite 

 freel_v, indications for a ru,sl)ing trade 

 were never better; let us ho])e that our 

 florists will not be disappointed in their 

 expectations. A large number of plants 

 have been disposed of every day during 

 the week, but most of these are not to be 

 delivered until December 24. Flower- 



ing plants seem to have the preference 

 and as these are quite abtindant, no one 

 is sorry, but prices are not extravagantly 

 high on any of them. Otherwise the 

 week past brought nothingextraordinary. 

 There were a few small dinner decora- 

 tions and also the usual funeral work, 

 but no special events worth notice oc- 

 curred, though our storemen and every- 

 bod}- else have been rather busy with 

 preparations for Christmas trade Cut 

 flowers of every description seem to be 

 short by present indications, and our 

 commission man only smiles without say- 

 ing a word when inquiry is made as to the 

 probable supply; maybe he knows better.

 ists' Fire Association, the following per-

W. J. Yesey was elected secretary. The 

 by-laws as printed were adopted with im- 

 material changes and with some formal 

 additions, the principal of which are: 

 First, requiring the directors to till all va- 

 cancies occurring during the year. Sec- 

 ond, permitting all directors to vote on 



questions submitted in writin,g by letter. 



Two or three of the gentlemen named 

 as directors have not yet completed their 

 applications for vacancies, but have made 

 informal application therefor. Unless 

 thej- do so, it will lie necessary to sub- 

 stitute others in their places. You will 

 also notice that two places are left unfilled 

 from lack of good names in other ter- 

 ritory. 



Any person in the business s-will be 

 supplied with a blank application for in- 

 surance on request.

NEW CARNATION MRS. S. A. 

 NORTHWAY. 



Being at Geneva, O., on business last 

 week, 1 visited W. P. Simmons & Co.'s 

 establishment and had the pleasure of 

 seeing the new carnation Mrs. S. A. 

 Northwav. Its habit of growth is very 

 strong and vigorous, the flowers are 

 largeand extremely fragrant, the color is 

 white with a lovely shade of pink. In 

 my estitnation it has all the qualifications 

 necessary to make it a fir.st class fanc}' 

 carnation. It is the most productive car- 

 nation I have ever seen. No doubt this 

 variety is fully equal to ifny of the older 

 sorts that Simmons has originated.
