hill stands the •windmill with its large 

 revolving fan. Nearby a stream of 

 water flows gently over pebbles and 

 grasses to the valley below, where it 

 propels the paddle wheel of another 

 mill. From there the stream is led 

 into a large mill pond, in which gold- 

 fish have been placed. The pond is 

 studded with pond lilies and lily pads, 

 and the banks are covered with green 

 moss. The background of the pond 

 consists of banks of plants artistically 

 arranged, which give the finishing 

 touch to the whole scene. At night 

 lights are placed within the mills, 

 making the scene more realistic than 

 by day. 



William J. Palmer will spend part 

 of August at his summer home, at 

 Lake of Bays, Muskoka, Canada.

The Market. 



In spite of the muggy weather and 

 general depression, business continues 

 in a fairly healthy condition. Boses 

 are arriving nicely, and the first crop 

 of Shawyer and Ophelia is selling rap- 

 idly in all grades. Outside stock has a 

 steady demand, and snapdragons, cen- 

 taureas and gladioli have been added 

 to the list this summer. Sweet peas 

 gave promise of a fine crop, but last 

 week a disease appeared, which ruined 

 the bloom and made picking unprofit- 

 .able. The peas attacked were a total 

 loss. Inside peas, however, are far 

 better than any grown for some time, 

 and are much sought after. Asters are 

 in bloom this week, which is slightly 

 later than usual. 



Various Notes. 



William Fendley has purchased a 

 large fruit farm near Norval, and in- 

 tends to produce heavily of small fruits 

 . next season. Some of the younger men 

 continue to enlist. Walter Edwards 

 has left the rose section to join the 

 Thirty-seventh regiment. 



The employees of the Dale Estate 

 have organized a cricket club. The 

 oflScers are: President, T. W. Duggan; 

 captain, S. Campbell; vice-captain, A. 

 Wicks, and secretary-treasurer, T. 

 Boonham. The corn-nittee consists of 

 A. Budd, W. Haines, T. Hall and A. J. 

 Stewart. Vigorous practice commenced 

 on the new grounds about a fortnight 

 ago, and July 31, with the temperature 

 at 90 in the shade, a test match was 

 played between teams chosen by the 

 captain and vice-captain, in which the 

 vice-captain's eleven won by a large 

 margin of runs. W. G. P. 



Catskill, N. Y. — George H. Pearson is 

 building another large greenhouse on 

 his place at Jefferson Heights. 



Washington, D. C. — The Franciscan 

 Monastery has secured a building per- 

 mit for a large greenhouse, which will 

 be erected on Sixteenth street, near 

 Qnincy street, northeast, at an esti- 

 mated cost of $3j000.
