motoring back and forth from Boston,

The florists' picnic, which was to be 

 held July 26, was postponed to August 

 2 because the baseball park was re- 

 served for that date. 



Business is good with the W. F. Kast- 

 ing Co. at the new location. The com- 

 pany is seeking a permanent location, 

 as the temporary quarters are not large 

 enough. 



It is with regret that we record the 

 death of August Brucker, which oc- 

 curred July 24. Mr. Brucker was one of 

 the victims of the recent hot wave. He 

 was in his seventy-fifth year and is 

 survived by his wife, three sons, Emil, 

 who is treasurer of the W. F. Kasting 

 Co., August, Jr., and Otto, and two 

 daughters, Rose and Adelene. 



0. C. Gillies, bookkeeper at Palmer's, 



spent two weeks at Port Colborne, Ont., 



and found so much pleasure at the place 



that he is spending his week ends there.

The Market. 



Business is brisker than it was twelve 

 months ago, but the advantage is com- 

 pletely offset by the frantic state of 

 the labor market. Planting is five or 

 six weeks behind and the severely hot 

 weather is hard on all outdoor stock. 

 There has been no rain whatever since 

 July 2 and the temperature a fortnight 

 ago was 80 high that some of the men 

 had to leave their work. 



Orchids hold their own and command 

 a good market, but transportation of all 

 stock is difiBcult just now, carnations 

 proving almost hopeless carriers and 

 valley often disappointing long-distance 

 customers. 



Various Notes. 



The Dale Estate put in a large part 

 of the violet section with tomatoes, as 

 a between-season crop, and the men are 

 picking large quantities of excellent 

 fruit every day, which finds a ready 

 sale during the warm weather. 



The majority of the men recruited in 

 Brampton for another battalion are 

 home on their last leave and expect to 

 sail for the front next week. Lieut. 

 C. R. Duggan, who met with a serious 

 accident early in the year while fly- 

 ing in England, sailed again July 24,
