William Marche & Co. has been com- 

 pleted. Every square inch of space has 

 been utilized to the best advantage. 

 This is a corner store and space is lim- 

 ited. On the Fourteenth street side the 

 door has been moved so as to come at 

 the intersection of the two streets, and 

 the window has been extended twenty 

 feet. The flooring of both windows has 

 been lowered so as to come within a 

 few inches of the floor of the store, and 

 is of mosaic blocks. A handsome sign, 

 with raised gold lettering that can be 

 seen for several blocks, has been placed 

 above this window. The H street win- 

 dow has been similarly treated, after 

 having been extended for about two 

 feet. In all the store has sixty-four 

 feet of window display space. The 

 outside walls of the structure are cov- 

 ered with pebble-dash; inside the walls 

 are pea green, harmonizing with the 

 white of. the woodwork and fixtures. 

 The icebox has been rebuilt and above 

 it is a balcony with stairs leading to 

 an attic, to be used for the storage of 

 florists ' supplies. 



The death of John Boyle, formerly in 

 business in this city and later at Silver

Frederick P. Webber had a large ex- 

 hibit of dahlias at the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society show at Boston. 



The annual autumn ball of the New- 

 port Horticultural Society was held 

 September 12, in the dance pavilion at 

 Newport Beach, and was said by the 

 committee to have been the most suc- 

 cessful of the many similar affairs given 

 by the society. John T. Allan was floor 

 director and the ball committee con- 

 sisted of John B. Urquhart, chairman; 

 Frederick P. "Webber, secretary and 

 treasurer; William Gray, Andrew S. 

 Meikle, William Smith and William 

 MacKay. The reception committee con- 

 sisted of William MacEay, Bruce But- 

 terton, James McLeish, James Sullivan, 

 Alexander MacLellan, Andrew S. 

 Meikle, James Robertson, Hichard Gard- 

 ner, A. K. McMahon and John T.

The Market. 



Business was duller last week than 

 any time previously this month. Little 

 entertaining appears to be going on. A 

 number of small weddings are taking 



Slace, but these do not call for many 

 owers. Funeral work, though a little 

 less active, forms the main part of the 

 business. Daily consignments of roses 

 arrive in good condition. The cooler 

 weather is helping them considerably 

 and they sell easily. Some good va- 

 rieties are seen, including Hadley, 

 Hoosier Beauty, Cecile Brunner, Russell, 

 Ophelia, Sunburst and Ward. The mar- 

 ket was considerably handicapped on 

 Saturday, September 16, when, owing 

 to a wreck on the main line, the roses 

 did not arrive and only a few local ones 

 could be obtained. 



Good quantities of asters are coming 

 in and the best ones sell fast; the poorer
