 put in your greenhouse. Very simple, easy and quick 

 to put up or take down. No time lost in tying rings 

 and supports, as this support is Self-tying. Easily ad- 

 justed to any desired height Very little space required 



for storage between seasons. Continuous Rings will be 

 made in any desired length to suit width of the bed. 

 Ideal for the growing of Carnations. Severe Spraying 

 does not disarrange Rings.

The Market. 



The extremely hot weather has prac- 

 tically paralyzed business. The 

 wealthy class of customers are leaving 

 for their summer homes in large num- 

 bers. Funeral work is about the only 

 business of any account at present. Car- 

 nations are a drug on the market. Roses 

 ftfe only fair and the demand for them 

 il' meager. Centaureas, sweet peas and 

 lil^kspurs are good sellers during the 

 w4k^m weather. There was no extra 

 bultness for July 4 and most of the 

 floWer shops were closed all day. 



Various Notes. 



Ni F. Higgins sold fireworks at his 

 StatI street store, where he does a big 

 busiilss each year in that line.
