ITS are busy cleaning out the houses 

 ])reparatory to replanting. The carna- 

 tions still coming in are of average sum- 

 mer size. 



Peonies are running low; heavy sales 

 last week so reduced the quantity in 

 storage that the market is in firm con- 

 trol. Probably the freezer will be clean 

 by June 30, except for the one lot which 

 is to be strung out through July. 



-Gladioli are arriving from nearby 

 points and the local croj) is not far 

 away; it has been damaged to some 

 extent by the heat and drought in June. 

 Most of the indoor gladioli have been 

 marketed. Garden flowers of all kinds 

 ar^ abundant and good. Shasta daisies, 

 cqteeopsis, gaillardias, larkspur, corn- 

 flower, candytuft, etc., sell steadily. 

 '0here continues to be a good call for 

 valley, but orchids are in light request, 



the supply being too uncertain. Gigan- 

 tcum lilies again are in increasing sup- 

 I)ly. 



The greens market is quiet. 



A. B. C. Picnics Again. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. Miller and Baby 

 Suzanne acted as hosts to the employees 

 of tlie A. B. C. at the farm at Hazel 

 Crest, about thirty miles southwest of 

 Chicago. After a tour of the fields, 

 where, among general florists' stock, 

 several hundred thousand gladioli are 

 planted, an old-f.'ushioned chicken din- 

 ner was served, after which dancing and 

 games were indulged in. A small acci- 

 dent marred the pleasures of the day. 

 Vincent Neil, bulb expert of the firm, 

 failed to negotiate a barbed wire fence 

 when chased by a fiery bull. However, 

 after a slight operation performed by 



Dr. Momblatt, well-known traveling 

 representative of the A. B. C, proceed- 

 ings were continued to the ' ' end of a 

 perfect day. ' ' 



Mr. Miller now si)ends his .spare time 

 at the farm and enjoys putting into 

 practice some of the technical knowl- 

 edge obtained some years ago while at- 

 tending the National Farm School, in 

 Pennsylvania, and later while employed 

 at the famous estaljlishment of Burpee, 

 Philadelphia. 



Various Notes. 



The market has been much interested 

 in the announcement by H. C. Wend- 

 land that he has sold out his stock inter- 

 ests in the Premier Rose Gardens and 

 in the E. C. Amling Co. The purchaser 

 of the shares was Paul E. Weiss, who
