the same month in any previous year at 

 his establishment. The same was true 

 of each of recent months. 



According to C. L. Washburn, Bassett 

 & Washburn now have 36,000 young 

 Beauty plants benched. He says they 

 have stood the intense heat of the last 

 week remarkably well, as they have re- 

 ceived plenty of ventilation. Mr. Wash- 

 burn says he noticed as never before 

 the difference between the low-ridged 

 old houses and the high-ridged new 

 houses. The latter are so much cooler 

 that the plants grown in them are far 

 stronger and healthier than those grown 

 in the former. Erne Anderson, floor 

 manager, has gone to Michigan with 

 his family for a vacation. 



Keturning from a trip to California, 

 Mrs. W. J. Smyth and Miss Smyth now 

 are visiting in Colorado. They will re- 

 turn to Chicago about August 15. Dur- 

 ing their absence Mr. Smyth has been 

 sticking close to the store, where July 

 business has been the best ever in spite 

 of extensive remodeling operations. Mr. 

 Smyth had the Moore funeral at Lake 

 Geneva, the largest order of the summer. 



An expression of opinion as to what 

 varieties of roses are making good dur- 

 ing the hot weather is timely and ac- 

 ceptable. Felix Reichling, in charge of 

 the Peter Reinberg salesrooms, says 

 that within the range of his experience 

 and observation, Eussell is the best sum- 

 mer rose in commerce. Next to this he 

 would place Maryland. He likes Ophelia, 

 but does not think much of it as a hot 

 weather variety. Sunburst he consid- 

 ers fair, though not as good as Milady. 



In future, Emil Reichling, superin- 

 tendent of the Peter Reinberg green- 

 house ranges, when seen on the street 

 will be found sitting behind the steering 

 wheel of a T-passenger Buick touring 

 car. 



That he would not have believed last 

 week's business possible under the 

 weather conditions is the statement of 

 John Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling Co. 

 The shipping trade was much the heav- 

 iest the house ever has known in July. 

 After a fortnight at Woodruff, Wis., A. 

 C. Kohlbrand returned July 29 and next 

 day went to South Haven after Mrs. 

 Kohlbrand, who had been taking treat- 

 ment there for rheumatism. Bert Cole
