The first part of June gave an excel- 

 lent run of business for Paul Blome & 

 Co., according to Arthur Blome, but 

 sales began to fall oflf with the passing 

 of the commencements in the north 

 side schools. 



Work of repairing benches and re- 

 planting is going on at Fred Burmeis- 

 ter's, 1767 Cemetery drive. A new boiler 

 has also been installed. - 



C, L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn, made a business trip to Wheatou 

 June 23. 



Samuel Graff, the head of the Art 

 Floral Co., of Columbus, O., has leased 

 the store at 7 West Monroe street for 

 a period of years at a term rental of 

 $17,500. 



J. C' Bruckner, who trades as the 

 Normal Park Florist, 537 West Sixty- 

 ninth street, is out of town on a busi- 

 ness trip. 



The wedding of Miss Ella Schaffer, 

 formerly, of Bassett & Washburn, to 

 George Goebel, the market representa- 

 tive of the Adams Express Co., took 

 place June 23.

 market was noted this week have been 

 John Stuppy, St. Joseph, Mo.; Thomas

 Curtis,, grower for Lewi,s Henderson, 

 Otaaha, 'N6b.; Mrs. Geijrge fl. wlfa^ting,

The Mirket. 



There is too much heat for indoor 

 stock, and the plants in the field have 

 not quite adjusted themselves to the 

 change from extremely wet weather to 

 normal conditions. There is, however, 

 an abundant supply of gladioli and day 

 lilies, as a result of the long continued 

 rains. Sweet peas are a total failure, 

 as the rust has affected them badly. As 

 outdoor sweet peas have been the flo- 

 rists' stand-by at this time in recent 

 years, they hardly know what to do 

 since the local carnations have played 

 out. The stock shipped in is in sleepy 

 condition as a result of its long ride on 

 the express cars. Eoses are getting bet- 

 ter, and vincas and other small stock 

 meet funeral demands. 



Various Notes. 



E. Friedrich is planning to put up 

 two more houses, in order to be able to 

 supply suflScient stock for his trade, 

 which is Ijirgely with railroad employees. 



Palms are the pride of Chas. Alff & 

 Co. The stock of this firm runs all the 

 way from seedlings to specimens 30 

 years old of Mr. Alff.'s own growing. 



Olaf Olson, of the Austin Floral Co., 

 followed winter stoek with cantaloupes 



in pots and has a splendid crop of much 

 nicer fruit tlian the field-grown. 



F. T. Ramsey & Son have a fine dis- 

 play of hemerocallis and hollyhocks, to 

 which the damp weather has given a 

 truer color than is usual at this season.

The Southwestern Market. 



A good deal of activity was displayed 

 last week by the retailers at the dif- 

 ferent wholesale markets. Business was 

 good in school work, weddings and fu- 

 nerals, but stock was scarce and the 

 demand greatly exceeded the supply. 

 Some of the wholesalers can again boast 

 of clean-up sales. Stock was of poor 

 quality, except valley, Easter lilies and 

 gladioli, which seemed to have the de- 

 mand. The prices of gladioli advanced 

 from 4 cents to 6 cents June 22. The 

 supply of carnations is large, but the 

 warm weather has got the best of them, 

 for most of them are small. There are 

 some excellent Shasta daisies and corn- 

 flowers. Koses are poor and scarce, 

 with short stems. Unless rain comes 

 soon, outdoor stock will be of little 

 value, as all stock in the fields is suf- 

 fering greatly. Idttl« business is 

 looked for from now en, as the summer
