are open all day on Sunday; the latter 

 statement is true of a number of them 

 throughout the winter. 



Despite the heat, roses are holding up 

 well and the different varieties are good 

 in color, with the exception of Key and 

 Milady, which have been much paler in 

 the last few weeks. Wards are good. 

 Carnations are still in good condition 

 and are of good size, considering the 

 warm weather. They are almost a drug 

 on the market and go for a song. Har- 

 risii and calla lilies are plentiful and 

 of good quality. Sweet peas have been 

 spoiled to a certain degree by the re- 

 cent rains, and the stems are short. The 

 supply is large, however, and soon the 

 quality will be fine again. Gladioli, 

 achilleas, swainsonas and bachelor's 

 buttons are plentiful and sell well. As- 



paragus and smilax are good and the 

 supply is abundant. 



Various Notes. 



Business at the Raeker Flower Shop 

 has been good. Funeral and wedding 

 orders are coming in even in July, Mrs. 

 Backer reports. 



J. Benson Stafford is much pleased 

 with summer trade and has found busi- 

 ness in July much better than in June. 

 Last week he had an attractive window 

 display of pink ramblers and larkspurs, 

 artistically arranged in Japanese and 

 Italian flower holders. 



Jerry Brookins is cutting hia summer 

 crop of outdoor orchid sweet peas and 

 they are just as fine as his indoor ones 

 were two months ago. His carnations 

 are getting small and weak. 



F. J. Nieman is cutting a fine crop 

 of hardy candytuft and is wholesaling 

 it to the downtown florists. He sold 

 several thousand geraniums earlier in 

 the season. 



S. A. Anderson has begun closing his 

 store at 7 p. m. every day except Sat- 

 urday, when it is open until 9 o'clock. 

 His new store front has been improved 

 considerably by window boxes filled 

 with Boston ferns and Sprengeri. The 

 boxes are placed in every window on 

 the three floors, making about eighteen 

 in all. He returned from a Canadian 

 fishing trip with a big catch last week. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Armbrust are 

 spending their vacation at Ocean Grove, 

 N. J., and will stop off at Elizabeth 

 en route. 



Harold Petrie, of Stroh 's, writes that
