The Hinsdale Golf Club last week con- 

 cluded a novel handicap in which the 

 contestants could play any nine holes of 

 the eighteen. O. P. Bassett was the 

 winner. In another Hinsdale tournament 

 E. B. Washburn, son of C. L. "Washburn, 

 won in the semi-finals. 



Fred "Weber feels very well satisfied 

 with the outcome of his season. His 

 place was newly built last year and he 

 did not get the start expected in the win- 

 ter, but the other fellows had big crops. 

 As a result, Beauty prices were never 

 lower. Mj. "Weber has had a splendid 

 cut for the last few weeks when prices 

 have been the best known for summer, 

 and expects it will carry him some little 

 time longer, after which he will dry off 

 his plants and start at growing a Christ- 

 mas crop. 



Bassett & "Washburn are putting in a 

 Martin rocking grate for a trial. If it 

 suits them as well as they expect it to 

 they will equip all the boilers in their 

 big central heating plant with it. 



G. H. Pieser, secretary of the Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co., has returned from a week 

 with the bass at Fox Lake. 



"W. E. Lynch, of E. H. Hunt 's, and Mr. 

 Bohannon, of Bohannon & Ganger, are 

 at Fremont, Mich., with their families. 



C. M. Dickinson, manager for E. H. 

 Hunt, has returned from a few days at 

 Grand Rapids. 



Both C. "W. McKellar and George Rein- 

 berg have added materially to their space 

 by the erection of balconies for oflSce 

 purposes. 



D. Nicas, the Randolph street retailer, 

 and A. Lange, of Monroe street, are in 

 Europe, one in Greece, the other in Ger- 

 many, but each spending his spare change 

 for souvenir postal cards to send home 

 to the boys. 



Among the recent visitors were "W. A. 

 Chalfant, of Springfield, Mo.; Geo, E. 

 Crabb, of Grand Rapids ; C. C. Pollworth, 

 of Milwaukee.

The Market. 



"Very little business was done the past 

 week, the weather being very hot and 

 dry, very little good stock is seen. 

 Roses are very poor. Some varieties of 

 carnations are in good condition. There 

 is practically no call for anything ex- 

 cept funeral bunches and a very few hos- 

 pital flowers. The greater number of the 

 retailers are putting their stores in shape, 

 remodeling and painting, preparing for 

 the fall trade, which promises to open 

 sooner this year than it has been doing, 

 as several functions of note are booked 

 for the last of August and first part of 

 September. The growers are busy get- 

 ting everything in trim for the fall and 

 winter trade, fixing up houses and clean- 

 ing up generally. The outlook at pres- 

 ent is for a strenuous season, judging by 

 the number of society events listed. 



Various Notes. 



The Owl Floral Co., James Papadakos, 

 proprietor, will open for business next 

 Saturday at 1001 ^^ "Walnut street, for- 

 .merly occupied by Arthur Newell. Mr. 

 Papadakos has been in the business here 

 the past four years in the Owl Drug 

 Co. store. A full line of cut flowers and 

 plants will be carried. 



A visit to the establishment of the 

 Rock-Heite Floral Co. shows the suc- 

 cessful perseverance of this firm. Starting 

 in a few years ago with a few houses 

 they have built up their business so that 

 now they have one of the finest ranges in 

 this section of the country. The untir- 

 ing energy of Mr. Rock, coupled with 

 the ability of Mr. Heite have broken 

 down all barriers, until now this firm 

 has taken a leading place in the race in 

 this city of progressive florists. 



Mr. Shaeffer, of the Kansas City Floral 

 Co., has flitted up to the northern lakes 

 on his annual vacation and will put in 

 the next three weeks fishing and taking 

 things easy. 



Alex Kerr, foreman for E. A. Hum- 

 feld, has returned from a two weeks' 

 vacation in Colorado. He looks well and 

 promises to make the rest of us hustle to 

 keep up the coming season. 



Miss J. E. Murray reports business as 

 quiet at present, but is getting her share 

 of the business and is satisfied with con- 

 ditions. 



Mr. Wallace, formerly with R. S. 

 Brown & Son, has purchased five acres 

 at Marlborough, a suburb of this city, 

 and will build several houses to be used 

 in raising a general line of stock for this 

 market. 



Will Bridgeland has turned his ever 

 ready hands to building these days and 

 is now deeply engaged in rebuilding 

 benches and putting in fall stock.

PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



The feature of this week 's market is 

 the increased quantity of asters of good 

 quality in all colors, and of gladioli. Car- 

 nations are falling ofi: in numbers, while 

 good sweet peas are difficult to obtain. 

 Roses are about the same as last week. 

 The Newport Beauties handled by the 

 Niessen Co. continue an important factor. 

 The demand has been excellent for 

 July, design work being reinforced by 

 orders from the summer resorts, which are 

 now arriving. Those having good flow- 

 ers find a ready market for them. 



Business Matters. 



A meeting largely attended, of the 

 creditors of Robert Kift & Son was held 

 last Friday. Samuel S. Pennoek was 

 chosen trustee, with instructions to have 

 the firm's books audited and report to 

 a meeting to be held on Monday, August 

 7, at 11:30 a. m., at 1416 South Penn 

 square. The outlook is not encourag- 

 ing. 



The creditors of the L, Peacock Co. 

 met in Camden last week and appointed 

 E. A. Flood, W. B, Robinson and Charles 

 A. Green trustees, representing lumber, 

 glass and fertilizer accounts, respective- 

 ly. The company has given four mort- 

 gages aggregating $6,000 on fifty-eight 

 acres of land. The interest due on these 

 mortgages has been paid, but the holder 

 of the second and third mortgages wish- 

 es them paid off. It is probable that 

 with careful management the comp?.ny
