Various Notes. 



Xo date has yet been set for the 

 opening of the new flower market, on 

 Hush street, near K<>arncy. There is a 

 rumor that it will be thrown open Au- 

 gust l.'j, but P. Matraia, of the Art 

 Floral Co., one of the prime movers in 

 the market, states that work has not 

 yet begun on the necessary alterations. 

 During the <lry se;ison it is not much 



inconvenience to the growers to con- 

 tinue their custom of halting their au- 

 tomobiles on the street, but, when the 

 rains commence, there is a growing be- 

 lief tliat, with the growers and the new 

 market, it will be a case of "come in 

 out of the rain.'' Having been built 

 for serving the ]turposes of a large 

 garage, the market has ample space for 

 cars and trucks.

P. P. Norton, partner of .T. A. Axell. 

 has telegrams from satisfied customers 

 to show the success the firm is havinu 

 in shipping asters, dry, to Chicago, Kaji- 

 sas City, etc. "This is how we arr 

 packing," said Mr. Norton; "we keci' 

 the stems in water all morning; then wc 

 take them out, strip tiie leaves, dry the 

 stems and pack them dry. No ice i> 

 used. The asters get there in fiiir 

 shape. ' ' 



Darbee seems to be the first of the 

 local florists to ship any of the new 

 crop of chrysanthemums east. October 

 Frost is beginning to come from tin'
