After paying out over $82,000 In the last 

 three years, an extra assessment is neees- 

 s.-ry, for the first rime since the organiza- 

 tion of the Association, to restore funds 

 borrowed of ihe .Ue3..>rve Fund, and put 

 the F. H. A. upon a strong cash basis. 



The time of levy will be fixed by the 

 Directors, and your officials have not a 

 shadow of a doubt but that it will be 

 prcmptiv paid. 



JOHN G. ESLER, Secretary.

Among our advertisements it is an- 

 nounced that the seventh annual sale 

 of stalls in the Boston Cooperative 

 Flower Market will take place Sept. 3,

 and fixtures are new also the clean, 

 bright, up-to-date appearance is re- 

 flected from every stall and contents. 

 As stated in their advertisement grow- 

 ers will certainly find it to their inter- 

 ests to attend this sale.
