ILLINOIS STATE FAIB. 



The Final Awards. 



The flower show at the Illinois state 

 fair, Springfield, is of such great dura- 

 tion that, especially at such a warm 

 season, cut flowers will not keep during 

 the entire show and must be replaced. 

 Consequently, during the later days 

 there are classes that are duplicates of 

 those staged earlier. In The Review 

 last week the first awards were re- 

 ported. Here are those of the second 

 set of classes:

GRAND BAPIDS, MICH. 



The Market. 



Fall trade has been good, but a good, 

 hard frost would liven things up a bit. 

 There still are a few gladioli and asters; 

 also small garden flowers. Carnations 

 are arriving slowly, owing to the late 

 planting. They still are quite short and 

 poor. Roses seem to be in full crop; 

 bqth short and long-stemmed grades are 

 plentiful. The supply of lilies is small. 

 Chrj'santhemums have not yet arrived 

 in the local market.

I MOTT-LY MUSINGS | 



Tfiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin: 



The W. F. Kasting Co., of Buffalo, 

 N. Y., expects to be well settled in its 

 new home by October 1. It is a fire- 

 proof, 5-story building, modern in every 

 respect and fully equipped to handle the 

 business. The demand through the 

 summer was unusually good, practically 

 everything in the shape of a bloom be- 

 ing cleaned up. 



W. J. Palmer & Son, of Buffalo, have 

 an attractive window at their uptown 

 store, consisting of a pond scene, with 

 mill and specimens of a piscatorial na- 

 ture, the latter being sent in by Will 

 Palmer from his summer retreat at 

 Muskoka lake. 



S. A. Anderson, of Buffalo, is again 

 at the helm, after a thorough recupera- 

 tion, and predicts a good fall business. 

 Begonias Lorraine and Cincinnati are 



in fine shape, as usual. Store Manager 

 Andy Adams is away on a botanizing 

 expedition; he is an authority on na- 

 tive flora. 



The Tt)ng & Weeks Floral Co., of 

 Ashtabula, O., removed its greenhouses 

 in town to the fine location recently ac- 

 quired just outside the city. "It was a 

 strenuous task," observed Ernest Tong, 

 son of the veteran founder, who now 

 can enjoy the fruits of his labors. Mr. 

 Weeks is a member of the Chamber of 

 Commerce and is keeping up the fioral 

 end of the city's interests. 



The Cleveland Cut Flower Co. has 

 passed through a successful season. 



Adam Graham & Son, of Cleveland, 

 have a full force of men preparing for 

 fall business. Adam, first, second, 

 Brother Charles, all are busy. W. M.
