bers are expected to turn out. Speeches 

 will be made by George Bayer and

 president of the club. 



The White-June Co., of this city, 

 closed its doors last week, due to busi- 

 ness reverses. The business was 

 organized in tne spring of 1913, by H. 

 C, White, of Massillon, O., and Mrs. 

 P. J. .lune, a society woman of this 

 city. They did a flourishing business 

 for some time, but soon they found 

 things slipping away from them. Ad- 

 vertising to some extent, but not enough 

 for a new firm, seemed to be the prin- 

 cipal factor in their failing to attain 

 the desired goal. About six months 

 ago Mrs. June disposed of her half in- 

 terest to Mr. White, who was still con- 

 fident a change for the better would 

 begin at Easter and Memorial day, but 

 in this he was disappointed. The fix- 

 tures and supplies were sold last week 

 and the final business transactions took 

 place. 



Max Spanner has purchased a new 

 Overland delivery car. His old car 

 was destroyed by fire some months ago. 



John Barrow has purchased a new 

 Mitchell touring car. He says that is 

 the way to bank Memorial day profits 

 and enjoy them the best. G. B. S.

The Market. 



Business conditions generally have 

 been poor during the week. Funeral 

 work has formed the bulk of the busi- 

 ness. Wedding orders have been few 

 and commencement orders are about 

 past. There is plenty of stock, but it 

 is only of fair quality. A few asters 

 are coming in, but, while the flowers 

 are of fair size, the stems are short. 

 Hydrangea arborescens. phlox and 

 other outdoor cut flowers are moving 

 slowly. About the only scarcity is in 

 good white roses. The quality of the 

 carnations is rapidly deteriorating and 

 until good asters arrive there will be 

 an unsupplied want. As one person 

 puts it, carnations show '*a Vnid today, 

 a flower tomorrow, and are asleep the 

 (lay after.'' This well describes their 

 keeping qualities. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the club was 

 held June 28 at the club rooms. The 

 evening was cool and a good crowd was 

 l»resent. Prof. T. B. Symons, of the 

 Maryland Agricultural College, was 

 jtresent and extended an invitation on 

 behalf of the fruit growers of western 

 Maryland to the members to attend the 

 summer meeting of the Maryland Hor- 

 ticultural Society at Pen Mar July 30.

Damage by Hail. 



On Tuesday, .lune 22, about 4 p. m.,. 

 a hail storm in this neighborhood broke 

 many outdoor crops down flat to the 

 ground, and many florists suffered dam- 

 age through loss of glass and stock. 

 One of the worst affected was G. A, 

 Lotze, of Glenburnie, who lost about 

 eighty per cent of his glass; his stock 

 was not as badly c\lt up as might have
