Widf|R-s. Bussell and Milady appear to 

 move almost as fast as they can be 

 cut. That is to say, the good ones do. 

 The poor ones receive little attention, 

 but there are less of the inferior roses 

 of any variety on the market since the 

 weather improved. Sunburst, Melody, 

 Badiance, Lady Hillingdon and the rest 

 of the novelties are not in abundance 

 and those that are being cut sell 

 rapidly. 



Fancy asters now are available in 

 quantity, there having been a marked 

 improvement since the cut began com- 

 ing from the later varieties. The poor 

 stock sells at almost any price the 

 buyer cares to oflfer. Gladioli continue 

 abundant. The best varieties do fairly 

 well, but the clean-up is at a price that 

 pulls the average down. Greens are in 

 good supply and valley is fully abun- 

 dant eriOTigh to take care of any de- 

 mand. Lilies are not in oversupply, 

 but there are enough to fill orders with 

 and produce a fair return for the grow- 

 ers. An occasional dozen mums is seen. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Sarah Lindon has opened a store 

 in the Hyde Park Masonic Temple

 cause of personal differences.

The town was full of returning con- 

 ventionites at the first part of the week. 

 Indeed, O. W. Frese says the returning 

 visitors appeared Thursday, while there 

 were yet one or two in town on their 

 way to Minneapolis. Some of the vis- 

 itors have stayed only between trains, 

 but others have spent several days 

 here. 



George Wagner is pleased over the 

 opening Augnst 28 of the Avenue
