being completed by Carl F. and M. A. 

 Haenselman, of Boulder, Colo., who suc- 

 ceeded their father upon hia recent 

 death. The shop is located on the 

 boulevard leading to Boulder. It is in 

 the form of a bungalow at the foot of 

 the mountains. It is built of stucco 

 and has a conservatory in connection.

The Market. 



Business has kept up well, consider- 

 ing the condition in other lines. The 

 intense heat of the last six weeks has 

 iibout played out all indoor stock and 

 the drought during May and June was 

 ■ so severe that outdoor stock is of a poor 

 quality and backward. 



Various Notes. 



It is estimated that damage to the 

 extent of over $1,000,000 was done by 

 the rain storm that hit this vicinity 

 Sunday, July 10. Although it lasted 

 only a few hours, less than twelve, this 

 was the heaviest fall we have had here 

 in thirty-three years. The damage from 

 inundated crops, which was at first con- 

 sidered slight, is becoming serious. 

 Gammage & Sons suffered from wash- 

 outs and, as a part of their houses was 

 flooded to a depth of four- feet, there 

 is considerable loss. 



It is not likely that anyone from 

 this vicinity will attend the S. A. V. 

 convention at Washington, although a 

 number have signified their intention 

 of attending the Canadian meeting, at 

 Peterborough, August 8 to 11. 



Gammage & Sons arc calling for 

 tenders/on the rebuilding of four 200- 

 foot houses. It is the company's inten- 

 tion to construct an additional 40,000 

 feet of glass next year. W. W. G.

The Market. 



Friday, July 15, was St. Swithin's 

 iay, which probably accounts for the 

 great quantity of rain that fell during 

 the week — rain that came with a fre- 

 quency that vexed the souls of the car- 

 nation men who were filling their 

 benches. 



The market is close to a low-water 

 mark. There is business, there are 

 flowers, but both demand and supply 

 are light. Those wholesalers who make 

 a specialty of choice outdoor stock 

 think that business is good for the sea- 

 son; those wholesalers who depend upon 

 greenhouse flowers think that business 

 is below par. The strong outstanding 

 feature of the market is the increased 

 popularity of gladioli. Buyers ask for 

 Niagara, Sehwaben, Panama and Pen- 

 dleton by name, and they do not want 

 anything else. There are, undoubtedly, 

 more gladioli used today than formerly. 

 Nevertheless, the wholesalers are un- 

 easy regarding their ability to market 

 the oncoming wave of gladioli. Asters 

 are increasing in number, but there are 

 not yet enough of them fully to test the 

 strength of the market. Easter lilies 

 continue an important staple. They 

 are excellent in quality, but the prices 

 realized are only fair. The demand for 

 the finer flowers, notably for valley and 

 for orchids, has fallen off, making it 

 difficult at times to sell them. There 

 is a surplus of the ordinary outdoor i
