MR. A. J. WASHKO, of a. J. Wathko & Sou Floral Co., Bedford, OUo, writes: 



"It is a pleasure tome to express my opinion in regard to your patent LEAK- 

 PROOF gutter. I wish to state that I speali of many years' experience as an archi- 

 tect and know when material is fit for a certain place. Tne fact is that your gutter 

 really is the best gutter on the market up to date. It is second to none; it really 

 has no eaual." 



We are the patentees and sole manufacturers of this 



LEAK-PROOF gutter which is giving so much satisfaction.

The Market. 



This city, like most other cities of the 

 east, has passed through a hot spell of 

 weather. Not for a number of years 

 has the temperature kept at such a high 

 level, and for just over a month scarcely 

 one inch of rain fell. This condition 

 has put inferior flowers of all kinds on 

 the market, and this applies in a great 

 measure to indoor stock, which has also 

 suffered to a great extent. So far as 

 business is concerned, the intense heat 

 has practically crippled it except for 

 funeral work. This, fortunately, has 

 kept most of the stores occupied during 

 these hottest days. The supply of roses 

 at this time is fairly heavy, but their 

 quality is not extra good. They either 

 arrive well opened or, as soon as ex- 

 posed, open away up. Quantities of Pre- 

 mier, Columbia, Maryland, Killarney, 

 Scott Key and Hoosier Beauty reach us 

 each day and are sold at the usual sum- 

 mer prices. Wards and Ophelias are 

 arriving short-stemmed. There has not 

 been a big demand for orchids of late. 

 Lily of the valley is good and the sup- 

 ply meets the demand. Carnations are 

 dropping off slightly in supply and they 

 are getting much smaller in size. Sweet 

 peas come from two sources; a few 

 come from inside, but the majority from 

 outside. The latter are short-stemmed 

 so far and the quality is inferior. Gladi- 

 oli are good and a fair supply reaches 

 the market now. They are bringing 

 good prices. What can be considered 

 as the first consignment of asters 

 reached the market last week. They 

 are of fair quality. Outdoor stock is 

 not comii.7 in rapidly. The season has 

 been bad tor double gypsophila, but it 

 is fairly good. Other outdoor flowers, 

 such as buddleia, candytuft, forget- 

 me-nots, larkspur, coreopsis, gaillardia, 

 snapdragons, phlox, bachelor's buttons, 

 daisies, etc., are in fair supply, but not 

 of extra good quality. A small stipply 

 of achillca and feverfew is noticed oc- 

 casionally. 



Various Notes. 



Within the last ten days the new 

 home of Charles W. Curtis, of Summer- 

 ville boulevard, has been under way. 

 The framework is pretty well com- 

 pleted and, as far as can be judged, the 

 house promises to be attractive. It is 

 expected to be completed early in the 

 fall.
