 than what the buyers had used heretofore. Why don't YOU give us a trial?

 colors in Gladioli and good early Asters In quantity

 handling flrst-class stock and large quantities of it.

returned from a fortnight's vacation in 

 the east. In New York they met Mrs. 

 Wienhoeber's sister returning from a 

 trip to Europe and made the journey

 Mr. Wienhoeber visited the principal 

 points of trade interest. 



A coroner's jury July 10 exonerated 

 George Arndt, former 19-year-old em- 

 ployee of Winterson's Seed Store, from 

 blame for the drowning of his 17-year- 

 old fiancee July 4. 



A visit to Mt. Greenwood Saturday 

 afternoon found W. N. Rudd "out of 

 town" and C. W. Johnson "gone to a 

 picnic." The cemetery never looked 

 better, in spite of the fact that a cir- 

 cular letter recently was sent to lot 

 owners notifying them that "the ex- 

 pense has become so great that it can 

 no longer be met by the association." 



John Zech feels a great joy in the 

 assurance given him by Dr. Frank Bill- 

 ings that his daughter, Miss Carrie

 cured.

 E. C. Amling and a number of their

Fred Benthey visited New Castle last 



week. While only Shawyer, Sunburst 

 and a few Ophelia are being cut, he 

 found all the rest of the stock looking 

 well at the Benthey establishment. He 

 enjoyed Myer Heller's account of his 

 trip to rose centers in Europe. 



Felix Reichling says his brother has 

 finished planting the Peter Reinberg 

 place — all set for the new season. 

 Asters are being grown i-n the field at 

 the country place this year, a new 

 departure. 



O. Johnson, of the Batavia Green- 

 house Co., reports that the warehouse 

 company has declined to consider and 

 has returned his bill for an alleged 

 shrink of peonies while in cold storage. 

 The company explains, says Mr. John- 

 son, that it neither handled nor counted 

 the peonies, charging for the number of 

 buckets and not for the number of 

 flowers. The company adds that this 

 is the first claim ever received for a 

 discrepancy in the storer's count, al- 

 though it has been storing large quan- 

 tities of peonies for many years. 



W. P. Kyle avers that peonies never 

 kept better than this season, and that 

 they never sold better in July. Charles 

 Klehm says he has stock in storage that 

 will be good until the middle of August.

 business, although his health is not 

 robust.

 week, in a handsome diamond, but his 

 friends in the market have been un- 

 able to find out who is to wear it.

 manufacturer of florists' boxes, is * 

 member of the special Federal grand 

 jury on the Lorimer bank failure. 



A. L. Vaughan comments that local 

 gladioli came in almost at the pa"'^ 

 time as the Tennessee crop this year, 

 due to the dry weather in the south.
