The Market. 



Trade has been rather quiet of late, 

 with stock fairly good and about suflS- 

 cient in quantity to meet the demand. 

 Boses are holding their own much bet- 

 ter than anything else and it is sur- 

 prising they are so good, considering 

 the hot weather of a week or ten days 

 ago. The last week has not been quite 

 so hot, but we have had some rain, 

 which has helped to keep things going. 

 Carnations are dwindling down and are 

 becoming extremely poor in quality. 

 Most of the growers are cleaning out 

 their hpuses and getting ready. to plant. 

 Carnations, as a rule, are looking well 

 in the fields: a few are a little small, 

 but they will come on satisfactorily 

 after planting. Considerable valley was 

 used last week, as well as sweet peas, 

 and these are about all that is avail- 

 able for corsage work, aside from Ward 

 roses, etc. 



Lilies have been moving well and 

 there were quite a lot of them on the 

 market last week. They are about the 

 most satisfactory flowers to handle at 

 present. Quite a few ferns have been 

 sold in the last week or two, mostly in 

 the smaller stock, as the larger plants 

 were pretty well cleaned up some time 

 ago. There is a good demand for bloom- 

 ing plants, but nothing of any conse- 

 quence to fill the demand. 



Damage by Hail. 



On Wednesday, July 9, a heavy hail 

 storm struck Columbus and many flo- 

 rists and others suffered heavy losses. 

 The storm began about 1 p. m, and

seemed to come from the northwest, but 

 the reports show that it traveled in 

 different directions. Directly north of 

 Columbus a great deal of damage was 

 done to crops, but only a little glass 

 was broken. Then the storm shifted 

 to the west, missing the Livingston 

 Seed Co., the Fifth Avenue Floral Co., 

 the Munk Floral Co. and the Kiverside 

 Floral Co.; in that neighborhood there 

 was little rain and no hail. Thence the 

 storm seemed to travel south and then 

 southeast, hitting part of Sherman Ste- 

 phens ' place and breaking about 100 

 panes or so, but the Cottage Rose Gar- 

 den was directly in the storm 's path 

 and nearly all the glass there was 

 broken, with great damage to stock, 

 both inside and outside. .T. R. Hellen- 

 thal's glass was nearly all broken; so, 

 also, was E. Metzmaier 's. Charles Roth, 

 the Columbus Floral Co., Adam Fornof, 

 a vegetable grower, and several small

truck gardeners with houses lost tliei' 

 glass. The loss of the Columbus Floral 

 Co. is placed at $20,000; E. Motz-

 same, and J. R. Hellenthal 's, about 

 $3,500. 



It seems that Columbus and vicinity 

 have had more than their share pf such 

 troubles. On Monday morning, July l^i 

 there was a storm to the east of Colum- 

 bus, which did much damage, and there 

 was a cloudburst between Newark and 

 Zanesville, which flooded a vast extent 

 of land. The Muskingum river rose
