Sounds funny but it's true. True as steel. 



Mr. Bayersdorfer is home ag^ain. He is very busy, but he stopped long 

 enough to say^hat he had secured every single thing worth having over 

 there. When you Icnow Mr. Bayersdorfer you will know that a few words 

 from him mean a whole lot. So here^s a straight tip: If you want a 

 chance at the best novelties in the United States of America let your clos- 

 est business friends be

little girls had broken out some panes 

 of glass in the rear of the store and 

 thus gained entrance, taking the money 

 and several bolts of ribbon. 



Miss May French had vacation last 

 week and went on a fishing trip. 



E. C. Armbrust is spending his vaca- 

 tion in Elizabeth, N. J. 



Miss Ella M. Mansfield is spending 

 her vacation in Bridgeport, Conn., and 

 New York city. 



William Schlatter is producing some 

 good asters, considering the dry weather. 

 He has a tank of orangeade on tap in 

 his store during the warm weather, for 

 his employees,

 gone on a trip to Wisconsin.

The Market. 



Supplies have fallen off in several 

 staples and there is a rather better de- 

 mand for flowers to ship to shore and 

 mountain resorts. This has not led to 

 any rise in values, but clearances are 

 rather better. Eoses are now overplen- 

 tiful for funeral and other needs and 

 are selling at $1 to $4 per hundred. 

 Kaiserin, White Killarney, Carnot, 

 Christie Miller and Dark Pink Killarney 

 are good sellers, in addition to Beauties. 

 The best of the Beauties make $2 to $3 

 per dozen. Carnations are small; the 

 average price is $1. Asters are a little 

 more plentiful and the price still holds 

 up well. They will soon be abundant 

 enough to effectually fill the carnation 

 gap. 



Few really good sweet peas are seen; 

 the best make 50 cents per hundred. 

 Lilies are selling tolerably well; so is 

 valley. Gypsophila is in oversupply. 

 Quite a few miscellaneous hardy an- 

 nuals and perennials find an uncertain 

 sale. Of cattleyfts there is a diminished 

 supply, but the demand for these and 

 for gardenias is not robust.

Club Picnic. 



Perfect weather was once more en- 

 joyed by the 500 or more members, 

 their wives, families and friends, who 

 attended the annual picnic of the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club at Cunning- 

 ham park, East Milton, July 23. The 

 members of the committee in charge of 

 the arrangements had worked hard, and 

 to them great credit is due for the most 

 enjoyable and successful picnic the club 

 has yet held. 



The various athletic events, twenty- 

 four in number, excited great interest, 

 as usual, and contests were keen, as 

 many as four heats being needed in 

 some classes. The Private Gardeners 

 easily disposed of the Commercials in 

 the quoits match, but were outclassed in 

 the tug of war; in the baseball game 

 they looked like winning until the last 

 innings. F. E. Palmer played a great 

 game for the losers. 



The married and single ladies' base- 

 ball game was a thrilling one for the 

 spectatorfl. It soon became evident that 

 hobble skirts, such as the married ladies 

 appeared in, were not quite ideal when

it came to fast sprinting. The married 

 ladies, however, are planning to don 

 special regimentals next year and re- 

 cover their lost laurels. 



As a token of esteem to J. M. Glea- 

 son, a respected member of the club, 

 whose death was reported in the obitu- 

 ary column of last week's Eeview, all 

 festivities were suspended and all pres-
