CRETONNE BASKETS 



Here is a novelty of rare merit. Not merely something new, it is also something 

 good. A new make of basket with tasteful finish. Cretonne Baskets come in twenty 

 entirely different styles. They are adaptable to almost any purpose where baskets can bo 

 used. There are Cretonne Baskets with handles and there are Cretonne Baskets that art* 

 flat; there are Cretonne Baskets that are oval; there are Cretonne Baskets that are 

 round; there are big Cretonnes, there are little Cretonnes; there are hanging Cretonnes.

When J. A. Valentine attended a 

 Rose Society meeting in Chicago a num- 

 ber of years ago he surprised the grow- 

 ers from the middle west and from the 

 east by telling them that one of the 

 rose growing problems in Denver was 

 caused by too much sun. The plants- 

 made a short growth, flowering too 

 quickly. Leo Niessen now tells us that 

 the same cause is assigned by some of 

 the ablest men in Philadelphia for dis- 

 carding some members of the Killar- 

 ney family. The claim, Mr. Niessen 

 says, is that in certain heavy soils these 

 varieties flower on too short stems to 

 compete with those grown in more fa- 

 vorable soils. They require disbudding 

 to get stems of equal or nearly equal 

 lengths to those grown in the lighter 

 soils. This is surprising, as it would 

 naturally be supposed; that culture would 

 overcome the difficulty, but the growers 

 who have made the assertion rank so 

 high as to justify its acceptance as 



fact. Various Notes. 



The selective draft, who are taken and 

 who are left, is the absorbing topic of 

 the hour. 



Frederick J. Michell returned to busi- 

 ness July 23, after a three weeks' ab- 

 sence. Mr. Michell was struck by a 

 speeding car while walking and pain- 

 fully injured. One rib was broken and 

 his foot was severely hurt. Happily, 

 he is on the highroad to complete re- 

 covery. 



Clarence J. Watson is confident that 

 the coming season will bring business 

 activity. 



Ralph E. Faust is replacing Alvah R. 

 Jones for the time being as floor man- 

 ager for the S. S. Pennock Co.

 trusty lieutenant, is away on liis vaca-

 agement, to at least make expenses dur- 

 ing the summer.
