Fprt Smith will have its second annual 

 flower show this fall. B. D. Crane will 

 be director and A. A. Pantet will be 

 manager. The premium list is in course 

 of preparation and will be issued in a 

 few days. 



A. G. Lee & Bro, report a very ma- 

 terial increase in their business this 

 spring. The flower show will be held 

 in their large double store, with its four 

 floors, which are offered free of charge. 



C. J. Brockman will again engage in 

 cut flower growing after three years 

 spent in other pursuits. He has em- 

 ployed a grower to take charge. 



G. H. Krone is showing some fine 

 ferns. He is a believer in rich diet for 

 this specialty. 



Johnson & Co. are building a new 

 greenhouse for cut flower purposes. 



A. A. Pantet & Co., who are the larg- 

 est growers here, have nearly completed 

 the remodeling of their establishment. 

 They expect by this means to double 

 their output and hope to soon take up 

 the wholesale business. 



There is talk of organizing a florists' 

 club here and we all hope it will suc- 

 ceed. 



A ten-year-old plant of Phcenix reclin- 

 ata at Pantet & Co.'s is showing a mag-

 curiosity, Andrea.

CINONNATL 



The Market. 



It is a hard matter at this time of the 

 year to find anything that is of suf- 

 ficient interest to write about. Ine 

 Fourth of JuVr is now a thing of the 

 past and with it the last lively business 

 that we can hope for until September. 

 An occasional funeral order will help 

 to keep stock moving, but otherwi.se 

 there is nothing. Then, too, it is a good 

 thing that there is not so much business, 

 as flowers are now getting pretty scarce. 



There are practically no roses at all. 

 Carnations are not nearly so plentiful, 

 but some of them are of very good qual- 

 ity for so late in the season. Sweet 

 peas, though, are coming by the thou- 

 sand and they are of fine quality. But 

 owing to the large numbers of them they 

 scarcely pay for me picking. Lilies have 

 been in good demanu but are now scarce. 

 There ia plenty of feverfew, stocks, 

 candytuft, etc., and not such a very 

 lively demand for it. Shasta daisies 

 of fine quality are to be had and there 

 are lots of them, but they don't sell any 

 too well. A few of the best bring $1 

 per 100, but most of them sell at 

 about 25 cents. Smilax, pTumosus, 

 Sprengeri, adiantum and eastern ferns 

 are plentiful. 



Variotis Notes. 



Saturday is the regular meeting of the 

 Florists' Society and the new oflicers 

 will take hold for the first time A 

 meeting of the board was held the past 

 week and they elected the following 

 officers for the ensuing year: Ben. 

 George, president; Gus Adrian, vice-pres- 

 ident; G«orge Murphy, secretary, and 

 J. W. Rodgers, treasurer. 



Tickets are out for the annual outing 



to be held Thursday, July 21, at Coney 

 Island. They afe to oe had at all the 

 commission houses and of the members of 

 the committee. There will be all kinda 

 of events for men, women and children, 

 with prizes for all. The bowling con- 

 tests for both ladies and men, also thd 

 ball game, will be the especial featurt'-s. 

 The committee is hustling things and 

 there will, without doubt, be a big crowd 

 this year. 



E. G. Hill was a caller. 



Paul F. Peters, who lived on Prico 

 Hill, died on June^ 28. He was bom 

 March 25, 1855, in Dahlen, about thirty 

 miles from Leipzic, Germany. He spent 

 his early days at Schloss Thallwitz, ia 

 the p«^rk of Prince Henry the 67th of 

 KeuSs. Later his father conducted an 

 extensive florist's business in Leipzic. 

 Paul at 17 years of age journeyed to 

 Brazil, where he lived several years. 

 Then came to the United States and 

 finally settled in Cincinnati, wliere he 

 was engaged with his brother, C. A.

 brothers, P. F. Peters, of Cincinnati, and 

 C. A. Peters, of Huntington, W. Va., also
