Various Notes. 



A. Lauge is vacationing a fortnight 

 at Montague, Mich., on White lake, one 

 of the favorite spots for good bass fish- 

 ing. 



July 26 a stone sill fell from one of 

 the third story windows of the Atlas 

 block, crashed through the sidewalk in 

 front of Winterson 's Seed Store and 

 sank into the floor of the basement in 

 a spot that E. F. Winterson passes over 

 hundreds of times a day. It would 

 have been sudden death to have stood 

 in its path. D. E. Freres had just 

 passed on the sidewalk. 



A. C. Kohlbrand, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., says he thinks Milady is without a 

 rival as a red rose for summer. Wend- 

 land & Keimel are growing it in con- 

 siderable quantity and are just begin- 

 ning to cut a crop. 



The three Poehlmann brothers, .Tohn, 

 August and Adolph, each have Winton 

 touring cars and will make the trip in 

 them to Minneapolis, with their fam- 

 ilies. C. W. McKellar runs the same 

 make of car and also will tour to the 

 convention. If they go together the 

 four cars will make quite a cavalcade. 



Clifford Pruner returned July 27 from 

 a trip southwest. He says the prospects 

 for fall trade in that section never were 

 better. 



George Asmus went to Minneapolis 

 July 27 to spend a few days with John 

 Young on S. A. F. convention business. 



A new wood ceiling is being put on 

 the brick ceiling in the store of Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co. 



A. F. Longren is able to be out after 

 a three weeks ' struggle with carbuncles. 

 Nineteen cores were removed from his 

 neck. 



A. T. Pyfer and H. E. Philpott have 

 returned from a boat trip to Mackinac. 

 Mr. Philpott has gone on his way to 

 Peterboro, Ont., to attend the meeting 

 of the Canadian Horticultural Associa- 

 tion, August o to 7.
