 literature, maps, etc. 



The work of staging the exhibits 

 was delayed through various causes so 

 that not all were in place until Wed- 

 nesday, and there were late arrivals 

 but all are thought to be included in 

 this record. 



Bowling Tournament. 



The Kathskeller alleys were the best the 

 S. A. F. bowlers ever had for their great 

 annual tournament. Ten cities partici- 

 pated ; good rolling was the rule ; the cour 

 test was close and excitement ran high. 

 When the din subsided it was found that 

 Philadelphia had emerged a victor, 

 winning by a narrow margin from 

 Washington. Philadelphia gets the 

 Beatty and Kasting cups for a year. 

 Beneke, of St. Louis, was the high man 

 with the excellent score of 597. The 

 full score follows:

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



White Marsh, Md. — Bichard Vin- 

 cent. Jr., sails next week for a visit to 

 Scotland. He will be accompanied by 

 his son. 



Marion, Ind. — C. B. Lawrence has se- 

 cured the contract for building a green- 

 house 43x147 at the Soldiers' Home. 

 His bid was $5,426.34. 



Everybody talked convention last 

 week and this subject was of such gen- 

 oral interest that the unfavorable 

 weather and depressing market condi- 

 tions were almost forgotten. It was a 

 midsummer week in every sense of the 

 word. Heat, humidity, storms, tremen- 

 dous gladioli shipments, rivers of asters 

 and enough waste to keep any store sup- 

 plied with cut flowers for a year. Of 

 asters especially there is no end. It 

 would not be fair to quote prices. 



New roses are abundant and their 

 quality in most cases may be judged by 

 the 25 cents per hundred quotation. Car- 

 nations, valley and orchids are scarce 

 and values are maintained. 



A better condition is now anticipated 

 and September will see a good begin- 

 ning of what is expected to be the great- 

 est season in the retail business New 

 York has ever experienced. 



All the stores in the wholesale quarter 

 have been greatly improved. With 

 hardly an exception new paint and paper, 

 and a general overhauling show which 

 way the wind blows. There is no lack 

 of enterprise and there are all the indi- 

 cations of a strenuous season, with so 

 many new and old houses bidding for the 

 confidence of growers and adding so 

 largely to their facilities and convea- 

 iences. 



The great fire which destroyed the 

 D. L. & W. depot in Jersey City was of 

 special interest to florists in delays occa-
