We have been sweltering under a 

 typical mid-July hot wave, but in spite 

 of such a handicap business is up to 

 the average, although somewhat low 

 prices have been the rule. Asters are 

 of rather inferior quality. They are 

 of the Queen of the Market variety. 

 Owing to the hot weather and. drought, 

 they did not reach their normal size. 

 Gladioli are plentiful and are cheap in 

 the poorer grade, but good Americas 

 still command a fair price. A good de- 

 mand for lilies was in evidence, with 

 only an average supply. Eoses are on 

 the wane, especially the Killarneys. A 

 few Kaiserin, Eadiance and Maryland 

 are seen and are sold readily, but Kil- 

 larney is unsalable at any price. Carna- 

 tions are almost over and by another 

 week will be out of the market entirely, 

 as numerous growers are cleaning out 

 the benches for new stock, and no out- 

 side blooms have yet been seen. It is 

 probable there will be a poor supply of 

 carnations until the indoor crop arrives 

 in the fall. Valley was a drug and 

 little of it was moved at any price. 

 Asparagus plumosus was plentiful and 

 could be bought at almost any figure. 

 A large lot of stock was moved in the 

 wholesale markets, but the prices were 

 necessarily low. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Garden- 

 ers ' and Florists ' Club was. held at the 

 club rooms July 27. Vice-president 

 Hamilton presided. Owing to the ex- 

 tremely warm weather the attendance 

 was rather small. The outing commit- 

 tee reported through its chairman, F. 

 C. Bauer, that a balance will be turned 

 into the club treasury. K. Vincent, 

 Jr., reported on the arrangements for 

 the trip to Boston by boat. A party 

 of about forty will go from this city, 

 being joined by a body of Washing- 

 ton florists, headed by Wm. F. Gude, 

 and a good sized delegation from Pitts- 

 burgh, headed by E. C. Reineman, be- 

 sides other florists from nearby cities. 

 Altogether, the boat will be almost 

 given over to the florists, who will 

 stop over a day in Norfolk and arrive 

 in Boston Monday, August 17, about 

 9 a. m. A committee of Boston florists 

 will meet the members of the Balti- 

 more and other delegations and take, 

 care of them until the convention 

 opens, Tuesday, August 18. 



Various Notes. 



John Eberhart has moved his store 

 from 330 North Howard street to 323 

 North Howard street, second floor. 



Mrs. H. J. Quick has been seriously 

 ill with appendicitis for the last week, 

 at her home, but the attending physi- 

 cians hope to cure her without an opera- 

 tion being necessary. 



F. C. Bauer, of Govanstown, who has 

 been on the sick list, is able to be out 

 again. Work on his rebuilding is mov- 

 ing along rapidly. 



Samuel Feast & Sons are still show- 

 ing peonies, having a large vase on 

 display in their Charles street window 

 last week. 



Charles Siegwart's new greenhouse is 

 coming along fast and will soon be 

 ready for planting. The glazing was 

 practically finished last week. 



Charles R. Francis, of White Marsh, 

 is erecting a new dwelling, which he 

 expects to be ready for occupancy by 

 September 1. 



Harry Ekas cut some of the first 

 dahlias of the season July 25. 



John Wagner, of Towson, is mak- 

 ing a considerable change in his green- 

 houses and is erecting an addition to 

 his. present range. 



The dreaded army worm has made its 

 appearance in the northern part of the 

 city and has done great damage to 

 lawns in this section. The Roland Park 

 Co. had forty men at work last week 

 spraying arsenate of lead on the lawns 

 in this beautiful suburb and, accord- 

 ing to present report, this has brought 

 the pest under control. In some sec- 

 tions the pest suddenly attacked a 

 lawn and before night had reduced the 

 spot to one of bare ground.

PAWTUCKET, E. I. 



The Market. 



Most of the business being done now 

 consists of funeral work, for which a 

 good supply of stock is available. Soine 

 good asters are now coming in, which 

 are taking the place of carnations for 

 most occasions, on account of their bet- 

 ter keeping qualities. The weather has 

 been rather hot and few stores are car- 

 rying any cut stock other than that 

 required for immediate use, window 

 decorations being composed mostly of 

 ferns and other potted plants.^ 



Various Notes. 



F. Hoffman is sending some excellent 

 gloxinias to the Providence market. 



John Meekin, formerly with A. W. 

 Vose, of Woonsocket, is now in the em- 

 ploy of E. A. Chipman, also of Woon- 

 socket. 



W. E. Sword, of Valley Falls, has pur- 

 chased a greenhouse from an estate in 

 Central Falls. 



A. R. Field, of North Taunton, is 

 building an addition of sixty feet to 

 his greenhouse. » 



James Hamilton, of Warwick Neck, 

 was a visitor in Boston last week. 



T. F. B. 



Sycamore, HI. — A splendid stock of 

 geraniums is going fast at the Swin- 

 bank greenhouses. Carnations and 

 snapdragons make a fine showing. 



Arkansas City, Kan. — The additions 

 during the last year of a lath house, a 

 Kroeschell boiler, a 500-barrel cistern, 

 an irrigating system and other equip- 

 ment at the Smith Greenhouses have 

 not made the facilities for production 

 at this establishment large enough, and 

 the erection of another house this sum- 

 mer is contemplated. There is at pres- 

 ent 14,000 feet of glass in the range 

 and a lath house, 50x125. 



Bapid City, S. D. — ^Plans for more 

 glass at the range of Reimers Bros, will 

 probably have to be abandoned on ac- 

 count of the loss inflicted by the hail 

 storm of July 2, which is reported to 

 exceed $3,000. The most serious loss 

 was of stock plants in the fields; carna- 

 tions were badly broken and many en- 

 tirely destroyed. The firm does a large 

 market gardening business, and al- 

 though root crops will revive to some 

 extent, tomatoes, cabbages, beans, vines, 

 etc., are almost a total loss. In addi- 

 tion, considerable glass was broken.
