phrolepsis Barrowsii and think highly of 

 it. The new watering system has been 

 installed in all the houses here. 



The express drivers' strike is an old 

 story now but John Muno still laughs 

 when he thinks how he brought his stock 

 in to Hunt's in a cab the £rst morning 

 of the trouble. 



O. P. Bassett has been automobiling 

 in Wisconsin. 



A. Lange and family left on Sunday 

 for New York and sailed Tuesday for 

 Oermany. 



Andrew McAdams was in the market 

 one day this week. He has not been 

 strong since his illness in the autumn, 

 but is attending to business as usual. 



John Degnan, of the E. F. Winterson 

 Co., was at Grand Bapids for a few 

 days. 



Bassett Sb Washburn report good busi- 

 ness from Indianapolis and orders from 

 Cleveland especially heavy the past week, 



Albert Amling has decided to drop 

 Bride and Maid and devote the space 

 to Kaiserin for summer bloom. His 

 records show that he has received the 

 most money per square foot from his 

 houses of Kaiserin, besides saving con- 

 siderable coal by letting them rest in 

 winter. 



One of the week's visitors was Mrs. 

 C. W. Pike, who has again engaged in 

 business at Bacine. 



In Sunday night's storm Matt Neider- 

 meyer, out Evanston way, put out into 

 the lake in a boat to rescue two young 

 women who were unable to make the 

 shore. The gardener found himself in 

 the same predicament, but all three were 

 brought in by the Evanston life saving 

 crew. 



The market on glass is stiff, a number 

 of the greenhouse sizes being in short 

 supply. Manufacturing has practically 

 ceased for the summer and an advance 

 is predicted. 



One of the week's visitors was W. H. 

 Carney, manager for J. B. Murdoch & 

 Co., Pittsburg. 



J. H. Shelton, Bochester, Ind., has 

 been in town this week. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market 



Saturday's business was quite encour- 

 aging from the summer standpoint. The 

 demand was universal and swept the 

 wholesale market clean. Prices remained 

 stationary, however, summer values be- 

 ing now established. The supply of 

 southern gladioli proved too extensive 



for the outlet and the flood backed up 

 and overflowed into the refuse reservoir. 

 Shipments were materially lessened, 

 with the consequent result of higher 

 prices, so the 50 cents per hundred ^sis 

 no longer holds. 



Peonies have about vanished and 

 prices for any good stock reaching the 

 market are fair. The cut of outdoor 

 flowers is tremendous. Almost every 

 wholesale house has an abundance of 

 Crimson Ramblers and the innovation is 

 generally popular. Dorothy Perkins in 

 small quantities also reaches the market 

 and in another year will be quite as 



Here is another dollar. We can- 

 not get along without

Plymouth, O., June 12. 



much called for and grown. These ram- 

 bler roses are especially beautiful now 

 around every suburban home and their 

 popularity exceeds that of any novelty 

 among the outdoor decorative climbers. 



Lilies are abundant, auratum and can- 

 didum especially. Valley holds firm and 

 will while the wedding bells ring and the 

 sweet girl graduates elocute. This week 

 will see the end of these special fes- 

 tivities, but the steamer recognitions and 

 the funerals we have always with us. 

 Orchids hold their values and better 

 stock of Cattleya gigas than now in the 

 market we have never seen. Large quan- 

 tities are shipped daily to other cities 

 and New York is and will be orchid 

 headquarters for a generation. 



Carnations were for a wonder scarce 



on Saturday. Many of the roses arriv- 

 ing are badly mildewed, but even this 

 failed to lift the best Bride and Maid 

 stock above the summer rate. Top at 

 any time was $5 per hundred and this 

 only for the choicest. It is the same 

 old story every year at this time, but we 

 forget. On Monday receipts were light 

 and demand good. 



Various Notes. 



Elliott's final auction sale in the old 

 place drew a large crowd of buyers on 

 Tuesday and the "farewell" was full 

 of reminiscences for those of us who 

 have caught the eagle eye of the anc- 

 tioneer in other days, when the venera- 

 ble Wm. Elliott presided. The new store 

 on Fulton street, with its five floors and 

 modern conveniences, will give the house 

 a permanent home. Two entird floors 

 will be devoted to the auction depart- 

 ment when the fall season opens in Sep- 

 tember. At Tuesday's sale stock from 

 Chas. Zeller's Son, Louis Schmutz, A. F. 

 Schrader, Siebrecht & Son, Frank Man- 

 ker, John Tschupp & Co., John Nicol, 

 Holliday & Smith and others was sold. 



The Joosten Plant, Bulb and Seed Co. 

 has established offices at 202 West street. 

 Its officers are E. Shaepke, president; 

 W. A. Pressor, vice-president, and G. A. 

 Joosten, secretary and treasurer. The 

 secretary is a nephew of the late C. H. 

 Joosten. Mr. Shaepke and Mr. Prosser 

 have each represented some of the lead- 

 ing nursery; bulb and seed firms of the 

 country and are well known. 



Arthur T. Boddington reports great 

 activity at present in shipments of cold 

 storage longiflorums. 



M. A. Donohue had charge last week 

 of the Millard F. Smith wedding at Ti- 

 conderoga. Lake George. Pink and 

 white peonies were used profusely and 

 the bride's and maids' bouquets were 

 lily of the valley, gardenias and En- 

 chantress. Mr. Donohue was best mac 

 at the wedding here on Saturday in the 

 "Little Church Around the Corner," of 

 Fred Eowe, of Joliet, brother of Harry 

 Rowe, of Chicago. The bride was Miss 

 Trempler, of England, who arrived on 

 the Campania at 9 a. m. and was speed- 

 ing on her honeymoon trip south a happy 

 bride at two o'clock. This is a very 

 rapid city since the subway opened. 



Tuesday, A. Lange and Mrs. Lange. 

 of Chicago, sailed on the Kronz Prinz 

 for a three months* holiday in Europe. 

 Geo. T. Schuneman, of Baldwin, L. l-, 

 was on the same boat. 



Miss Lizzie Mills, of Suzuki & lida.
