 B. Howe left August 3 for Stockbridge,

Petes Hollenbaoh's son, Charles, is 

 thoroughly enjoying the magnificent scen- 

 ery of British Columbia. Just as soon

James A. Brown, general manager of 

 the Brown Bulb Banch, Capitola, Cal., 

 and Mrs. Brown visited Chicago last week

 steamer Noordam, from Rotterdam, July 

 29. The number of cases was not large,

 first arrivals are over a month ahead of

 enters into the situation so largely this 

 season that indications informative in 

 other years are not relied upon so much. 

 The lesson of last season has made many 

 buyers wary.
