 dence of J. Ogden Armour. Mostly box- 

 wood and bay trees were used. 



Philip J. Foley returned July 31 from 

 a trip through the west. He visited ift 



several states, but most of his time was 

 spent in the SnOwy mountains, of Mon- 

 tana, whipping the trout streams. An 

 interesting story is told by Mr. Foley 

 of a visit to the establishment of L. L. 

 Warden, at Lewistown, Mont., where 

 a house of the finest carnations he had 

 ever seen were in bloom July 24, the 

 quality being made possible by the cool 

 nights which prevail at that elevation. 



Miss Paradise has returned to her 

 duties in the office of A. L. Vaughan 

 & Co., after a fortnight spent vacation- 

 ing at Fennville, Mich. Mr. Vaughan 

 says there is no kick coming on the way 

 business has held up for the last two 

 weeks and that returns on asters were 

 much better than a year ago for the 

 latter part of July.
