Business in general has been good 

 during the week. While there has been 

 no difficulty in handling the orders, 

 they have been coming in regularly 

 and have kept the help that is not 

 away on vacations fairly busy. Fu- 

 neral work has played a big part in 

 the volume of business done, . and to 

 this class of "work and the cool weather 

 may be ascribed the good condition 

 of the sale end of the business. 



Roses have become slightly more 

 plentiful, but are being moved readily. 

 The prices, though not high, are good 

 for this time of year. The entire cut 

 is handled each day with little or no 

 trouble. Old carnations are about 

 gone and those still being cut are not 

 worth much. Asters are plentiful and 

 of fine quality. They are satisfactor- 

 ily filling the gap left by the exodus 

 Of the carnations. 'Gladioli are still in 

 fine shape, but are not quite so plen- 

 tiful as they have been. They are 

 moving well. There are lots of good 

 lilies, but they are moving slowly. 

 There is also a good supply of excel- 

 lent valley, which is cleaning up fairly 

 well every day. Gaillardias are mak- 

 ing their appearance and are moving 

 readily. 



Various Notes.

 with J, M. Fox & Sons for about five
