sun. Mrs. Charles Bussell has made 

 its appearance and sells well. Killar- 

 neys are plentiful in the shorter 

 lengths. While Maryland shows excel- 

 lent qualities, there are not enough 

 good ones to supply the local demand. 

 Richmond, Mrs. Taft and the yellow 

 roses are not so plentiful as they have 

 been and what good ones the local re- 

 tailers can find they are ready to take 

 at a reasonable price. Lilies are abun- 

 dant and the prices obtained for these 

 are lower than they have been for some 

 time. The crops appear to be working 

 off and returns are improving. Sweet 

 peas have been picked in large numbers, 

 but there is no special flurry on these 

 at the present and their soft condition 

 does not afford the wholesaler the 

 chance to move them to any great ad- 

 vantage. The indoor season is about 

 over. Valley holds up well, with the 

 supply not any too large. Oattleyas are 

 abundant, for they are not in large 

 request. Peonies are about out of the 

 market, all cleaned up except for one 

 lot that has been held back to let the 

 others go first and get a clear field. 

 Gladioli are coming stronger every day. 

 A few asters have appeared. Shasta 

 daisies from Michigan are so plentiful, 

 and in some cases so spotted, it is 

 diflScult to show satisfactory returns. 

 The Michigan candidums arrived last 

 week, by the thousands; it was im- 

 possible to aell them. Some moved a 

 majority of the receipts by selling on 

 any offer, while others held for the

Foley Wins Suit. 



The suit of the Foley Mfg. Co. vs. 

 City of Chicago, reported in The Review 

 for June 19, resulted in a verdict for 

 Foley of $22,500. The case was on 

 trial for ten days, before Judge Pom- 

 eroy, the judgment being entered June 

 27. As previously related in this col- 

 umn, the suit was brought to recover 

 damages to the plant at Western ave- 

 nue. Artesian avenue, Twenty-fifth and 

 Twenty-sixth streets, caused by the C, 



B. & Q. E. E. in the elevation of its 

 tracks in accordance with an ordinance 

 passed by the city council. The track 

 elevation deprived the Foley concern 

 of the use of its switch track, which 

 had permitted the placing, at one time, 

 for loading or unloading, as many as ten 

 cars. It not only compelled the com- 

 pany to load and unload its cars else- 

 where, at considerable expense for time 

 and teaming, but the track elevation re- 

 duced the value of the lumber yards 

 for drying purposes, as the railroad 

 constructed embankments fourteen feet 

 high, thereby cutting t)ff the usual 

 southwest winds of summer. 



It is understood that negotiations are 

 pending for the sale of the real estate 

 and buildings, after which the com-
