Atlantic City and surrounding territory. 



Wm. E. MeKissick and E. Stevenson 

 returned July 14 from a fishing trip pn 

 the Potomac river. 



The summer meeting of the Maryland 

 Horticultural Society will be held at 

 Pen Mar July 29 and 30. Prof. T. B. 

 Symons is desirous of knowing how 

 many members are thinking of going 

 and requests all those who are so in- 

 clined to notify him as soon as possible, 

 for if a sufficient number intend to go 

 A special train will be secured, to leave 

 this city about 3 p. m. July 29, arriving 

 at Pen Mar in time for dinner that 

 evening. A business meeting will be 

 held later. On the following day the 

 society will be entertained by the Wash- 

 ington County Fruit Growers' Associa- 

 tion with an auto trip through the 

 mountain orchards of that section. This 

 will be both an instructive and inter- 

 esting trip. 



The next club meeting will be held 

 July 26. W. F., E. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Business is rather poor. The demand 

 is up to that of other years, which, for 

 this month, is not saying much for the 

 general call for stock. The supply, 

 however, is greater in every way, and 

 is causing a weak market. Prices are 

 almost strictly buyers' prices. 



The rose cut continues large and 

 comprises some fine offerings. . T^he 

 gladiolus market is glutted and dorfs 

 not clean up at any price. The lily cut, 

 including Easter lilies, auratums and 

 rubrums, is entirely too large for pres- 

 ent needs. Asters up to this time have 

 been finding a pretty fair market, and 

 seem to be about the only flower selling 

 at all, but they have been offered only 

 in moderate quantities. The chances 

 are that before the end of this week 

 their supply will be quite heavy, and 

 they will suffer the same general de- 

 pression that the other flowers in the 

 market are feeling. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell was first in the market 

 with new leucothoe this summer. 



John Pommert, at Amelia, has been 

 sending some fine early asters to E. G. 

 Gillett. 



Wm. Gear is remodeling the store 

 room in the building at 1419 Vine 

 street. He owns the building and ex- 

 pects to remove his store there some- 

 time during this month. 



Geo. Tromey is spending the current 

 fortnight at Martinsville, Ind. 



Mr. and Mrs. P. J. dinger and their 

 children, Eose and Eobert, left July 20 

 to spend a few days at Newcastle, 

 Ind. From there Mrs. Olinger and the 

 children will go to Evanston, 111., to 

 visit her folks. 



P. O. Coblentz, of New Madison, 0., 

 has begun to ship his fine gladioli into 

 the market.
