The Market. 



Business has been the best this sum- 

 mer that it has been in many years, the 

 social whirl having been more general 

 and continuous, with a great number of 

 large functions. In consequence of the 

 increased demand, and the fact that the 

 prevalence of so much rainy weather 

 has spoiled outdoor blooms, there has 

 been a shortage. Gladioli and dahlias 

 have had an exceptionally good season. 

 Of the latter the cactus varieties are 

 popular for table decorations, with the 

 peony varieties leading for vase pur- 

 poses. 



Horticultural Society* 



Final plans for the fall exhibition of 

 the Newport Horticultural Society, 

 which is to be held at Newport Beach 

 this week, were made at the meeting of 

 the society August 29. Arrangements 

 for the annual ball of the society, which 

 occurs on the closing night of the ex- 

 hibition, were also made. 



C. N. Bugholt, gardener for Miss 

 Fannie Foster, exhibited a new pink 

 gladiolus, which was awarded the so- 

 ciety's certificate of merit. The new 

 flower has been named Mrs. F. P. "Web- 

 ber, in honor of the wife of the secre- 

 tary of the society. 



William F. Smith, gardener for Mrs. 

 George S. Scott, exhibited a freak ear 

 of corn, consisting of a regular ear with 

 nine small ears growing around the base 

 of it. 



Various Notes. 



One of the big functions last week 

 was the opening of the Casino ballroom 

 for the first dance since 1908. The 

 stage front was decorated with a charm- 

 ing arrangement of ferns hanging over 

 the footlights and white hydrangeas 

 and other plants and blooms. The stage 

 was set as a forest scene. A. T. Bun- 

 yard did the work. 



Frederick C. Bergmann, head clerk 

 at A. T. Bunyard's, who was operated 

 on for appendicitis last week, is mak- 

 ing good progress. 



Wadley & Smythe had the decora- 

 tions for two large society weddings 

 last week. 



A. T. Bunyard left August 30 for 

 Princeton, N. J., where he has charge 

 of the decorations for a big society 

 wedding. W. H. M. 



Bine laland, IlL — At the flower show 

 of the Bidge Woman's Club, held Au- 

 gust 26 at St. Paul 's church, the judges 

 were Mrs. C. W. Johnson, Mrs. George 

 Murray and Mrs. William Gregson.
