 charge of a branch in each of four 

 cities, with headquarters at Cedar 

 Rapids. 



H. E. Krebs, of H. E. & C. W. 

 Krebs, Cedar Rapids, la., was a visitor 

 last week. The firm has 15,000 feet of 

 Foley houses and has had a splendid 

 season. 



Frank A. Volz, of Joseph Volz & Son, 

 Cincinnati, has been in town this week. 

 Goldfish are one of his firm's special- 

 ties. 



John Bauscher, of Freeport, was a 

 caller in the market last week. 



Among the week's visitors was Mrs. 

 Frances Spickerman, of Sandwich, 111.

The Market. 



Business conditions recently have 

 been about all that could be desired. 

 Commencement exercises at Racine Col- 

 lege and the various public schools add- 

 ed their share of trade to an already 

 satisfactory business for this time of 

 the year. The demand for roses has 

 been quite brisk. Russell leads in pop- 

 ular favor, with Sunburst and Ophelia 

 as close seconds, while Milady as third 

 is gaining every day. Hillingdon has 

 not as yet established itself here, al- 

 though yellow is a favorite color. The 

 supply of roses is plentiful, but it is 

 not more than equal to the demand. 



Carnations, while moving fairly well, 

 do not enjoy the same demand as roses. 

 In quality, they are surprisingly good 

 for the season. Sweet peas are holding 

 up remarkably well and enjoy a brisk 

 demand. So, too, does valley. Easter 

 and calla lilies, on the other hand, are 

 inclined to drag, as the popular de- 

 mand these latter days seems to be 

 for the brighter flowers. Seasonable 

 stock of all kinds is in good demand. 



Various Notes. 



Louis Mohr, superintendent of Mound 

 and Graceland cemeteries, is benching 

 his mums. He says that though the 

 planting and bedding si^eason has been 

 extremely backward, the outdoor stock 

 is now making up for it under pressure 

 of the hot weather. Mr. Mohr is busy 

 laying out roads in the new Graceland 

 cemetery. 



Joseph Eehl, 617 Main street, is en- 

 joying a good funeral work business. 

 He reports a good trade in cut flowers, 

 but a light one in plants. 



The Racine Floral Co., 219 Sixth 

 street, has been meeting a brisk wed-

 R. A. Miller and his wife, the proprie- 

 tors, are more than satisfied with the 

 increase in business since the rebuild- 

 ing of the store, which now compares 

 favorably with any metropolitan stand. 



L. C. i'orter, 1403 West Sixth street, 

 is enjoying a good season. He has 

 the trade advantage of unusually pleas- 

 ant surroundings. The grounds adjoin-

 in a delightful old-fashioned garden, 

 with walks, trees, bits of lawn and a 

 summer house perched on the edge of
