 his athletic frame is known wherever 

 The Review goes; deservedly so, for he 

 is a wonderful runner. 



• W. H. Taplin, for many years right- 

 hand man for Charles D. Ball, is now 

 with Henry A. Dreer, Inc., at River- 

 ton. 



The Philadelphia Second Hand Pipe 

 Supply has a large stock of 1-inch pipe, 

 A size they believe of special value 

 to florists. 



John P. Habermehl comes up each 

 day from Ocean City to look after 

 his business interests here. 



William Munro has planted Mrs. 

 Moorfield Storey as a rose novelty in 

 his greenhouses at Garrettford. 



Clarence Upton has taken his family 

 to Wildwood, N. J. 



Leo Niessen is spending his after- 

 noons calling on friends in the pro- 

 fession. 



Considerable interest has been shown 

 in the reglazing on the Plorex Gar- 

 dens' mammoth greenhouses at North 

 Wales. The men wear overshoes and 

 work unaided by glazing board or 

 scaffolding. Just think of walking up 

 and down eighty-five feet of sashbars 

 without other assistance than rubber 

 soles! 



Wm. Berger's Sons were extremely 

 busy August 2, with large orders for 

 the funeral of a prominent citizen. 



Edward Reid is fortunate in having 

 fine Kaiserin, which are quite scarce 

 this season. Phil. 



Henry A. Miller has obtained a per- 

 mit for the erection of a greenhouse 

 22x86 feet at his range, at Chew street 

 and Washington lane, to cost $750. 



Stokes Bros, will build a greenhouse, 

 18x50.6 feet, for W. S. Pilling, at 229 

 West Upsal street. The building per- 

 mit places the cost at $2,000. 



TOLEDO, O. 



The Market. 



With many of the flower buyers out 

 of town and practically no weddings 

 taking place, the last few weeks have 

 been exceedingly dull for the florists. 

 The weather has become warmer. This

has so far been a bad summer; the 

 downpour of rain every day or so for 

 the last two weeks has tended to de- 

 teriorate flowers and carnations in the 

 fields, and farmers throughout this sec- 

 tion are complaining that all crops are 

 as good as destroyed. 



The market is glutted with all kinds 

 of cut flowers. Gladioli in all colors 

 and varieties are so abundant that one 

 can buy them at his own price. Asters 

 are perfect, but cannot find sufficient 

 sales to take care of the cut. Fine 

 dahlias are arriving. Shasta daisies 

 are good and easily disposed of in bas- 

 ket trade. Fine carnations are still to 

 be had. Roses, especially Beauties, are 

 extremely plentiful and can be bought 

 at reasonable prices. 



Various Notes. 



Great plans are being made for the 

 flower show, which will be the largest 

 ever undertaken here. The Toledo Flo- 

 rists' Club has joined with the board 

 of directors of the Toledo Art Museum 

 in making plans for a large chrysan- 

 themum show in connection with a show

of table decorations, fancy baskets and 

 the like during the first week in No- 

 vember. The committees in charge 

 have been fortunate in securing the 

 Art Museum for this event, for it is 

 the seventh finest building of its kind 

 in the United States. The florists fully 

 appreciate this, and are working hard 

 to make it a success. Valuable prizes 

 are to be oflfered, and time and money 

 will not be spared to make Toledo's 

 first real flower show a grand success. 

 George Bayer was severely injured 

 on his farm at "West Toledo July 28. 

 He had gone to the f arfn as usual, early 

 in the morning, and on his arrival found 

 one of the horses prostrated. He en- 

 deavored to raise the horse from the 

 ground by means of a rope, and finally 

 succeeded in doing so. The animal, 

 however, was too weak to stand, and 

 fell to the ground, pinning Mr. Bayer
