DURIHG THE SUMMER 



It is hard to find good stock that will 

 hold up on shipping. You need not 

 worry if you turn your order over to 

 us. Our Roses are as good as can be 

 had, and the number of experienced 

 growers of high-grade stock that ship 

 to our Association assures us of having 

 a steady supply of the best obtainable in 

 this section of the country. The same is 

 true of all seasonable flowers and greens.

The Oldest House Retires. 



Monday evening, June 30, T. T. Clark, 

 receiver for E. H. Hunt, closed the 

 doors on the order of the Superior 

 court. His statement to the court shows 

 $1,800 in cash, a small quantity of mer- 

 chandise and the uncollected accounts 

 as an offset to liabilities of approxi- 

 mately $11,000. A notice has been 

 given that the accounts remaining un- 

 paid July 3 will be sold, subject to the 

 approval of the court, and bids are so- 

 licited. A list of the accounts may be 

 inspected at the office of Holden & 

 Buzzell, 901 Hartford building. Ee- 

 ceiver Clark is authority for the state- 

 ment that $3,000 of the accounts are 

 collectible. The only other asset is 

 such good will as goes with the right 

 to style oneself as "Successor to E. H. 

 Hunt," a privilege to which several 

 are said to aspire. 



The passing of this old concern is a 

 matter for general regret. The house 

 not only was the outgrowth of the first 

 cut flower business in Chicago, but for 

 many years was one of the most im- 

 portant in the market. The business 

 was established by E. H. Hunt in 1878. 

 It was incorporated, in 1906, after Mr. 

 Hunt's death. His widow was presi- 

 dent of the corporation and his atep- 

 Bon, C. M. Dickinson, was treasurer. 

 Mrs. Hunt and Mr. Dickinson are now 

 on a ranch in Montana, forty miles 

 from the nearest postoffice, Terry. Mrs.

The Weather in June. 



The June business merely reflected 

 weather conditions — it was a month of 

 excessive heat, superabundance of sun 

 and marked deficiency of rainfall. The 

 maximum temperature, 99 degrees, was 

 the highest ever recorded at Chicago in 

 June;,^lso there were eight days during 

 the mojat]^ when the maximum reached 

 90 degrees or above, while no previous 

 June had over six such days. There 

 were two short cool intervals during 



which business revived. The mean tem- 

 perature was 70.6 degrees, against a 

 normal of 66.3 degrees. The sunshine 

 averaged twelve hours and twenty-four 

 minutes- per day, or eighty-two per cent 

 of the possible, as against sixty-nine 

 per cent as the normal. The precipita- 

 tion only slightly exceeded one inch, 

 less than one-third the normal. 



Various Notes.

 Cook County Florists' .Association,
