BALTIMORE. 



Gilbert Patterson died last week at 

 the home of his niece, Mrs. Barron. He 

 was 84 years of age. The deceased had 

 retired from active business some ten 

 or twelve years ago. The funeral took 

 place Sunday, July 3, at Govanstown 

 Presbyterian cemetery. The active pall- 

 bearers were : I. H. Moss, Wm. Madaej*, 

 F. G. Burger, John Donn, Chas. Bucher, 

 and C. Waldenberg, all being members 

 of the Gardeners' Club, of which the 

 deceased was an active member. The 

 officers and members attended the 

 funeral in a body. 



Many of the stores were closed on the 

 Fourth, others remaining open only long 

 enough to fill the few small orders ou 

 hand. The Exchange closed at 12 o'clock, 

 having very little stock on hand. 



Business on a whole is satisfactory, 

 not much good stocky not much busi- 

 ness. So it balances up about as might 

 be expected at this season. Maman 

 Cochets are beginning to come in fr^y. 

 Carnations and indoor roses are holding 

 up very well. Greens are not much 

 sought after. Roses are going at $2 lo 

 $4, carnations 50c to $1.25 per 100, peas 

 15 to 25 cents per 100. A. F. 



BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO. 



This town was visited by a severe hail 

 storm on Thursday, June 30, which did 

 much damage to crops and flowers, but 

 no glass was broken. The, hail piled up 

 in places six inches deep and some was 

 found lying around on Saturday morn- 

 ing. The foliage of such plants as cannas 

 and caladiums was cut into shreds and 

 nasturtiums were stripped to the stalk. 

 In vegetables Lima bean» seemed to suf- 

 fer most, some of the early sowihgs being 

 completely ruined. The season here so 

 far has been very cool and wet; on Sat- 

 urday the thermometer stood at 48 de- 

 grees. Most flowering plants have made 

 very little growth so far, except dahlias 

 and asters; they are looking excellent.
