COPYRIGHT BILL GOES OVER. 



Word comes from Washington that 

 the house committee on copyrights and 

 patents has closed its hearings and will 

 rot be authorized to conduct any during 

 the ret'ess, but will be ready to resume 

 the first Monday in December. Conse- 

 quently the copyright bill, under advise- 

 ment, goes over. The bill includes that 

 published some months- ago providing 

 for the control of horticultural novelties. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The market the past week was again 

 badly overstocked with a poor quality of 

 flowers, which brought little. The com- 

 mission men who had first-class stock 

 sold out at fair price.s, as the demand 

 for this quality is good. The retailers 

 complain as to dull business the last 

 week. Even funeral work was scarce. 

 A few small weddings were about all 

 that was going on. The greenhouse men 

 are about through outdoor planting and 

 are beginning to pull out and replant 

 the houses for the fall season. This week 

 will finish up the social season and school 

 closings, and then the summer dullness 

 will be upon us. 



At the commission houses carnations 

 were extremely plentiful all of laSt week, 

 and of fair quality, but sold at very 

 cheap prices in 1,000 lots. It seemed 

 that the buyers did not care for carna- 

 tions. Roses were in so much better de- 

 mand that even the poor quality which 

 was offered sold well. Most of the rose 

 stock is badly mildewed. 



Sweet peas are coming in with longer 



stems and are in big demand where qual- 

 ity is good. There are plenty of daisies, 

 candidum lilies and cornflowers in the 

 market. Valley hold:< out well. All 

 greens are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Frank S. Mills, shipper of greens and 

 Christmas trees, from Rhinelander, Wis., 

 was in town last week. J. J. Nuss- 

 baiimtr, of San Angelo, Texas, also 

 called, and A. M. Augspurger, of D. U. 

 Augspurger & Sons, Peoria, 111., was 

 down. Meyer, the Boston silkaline man, 

 also was a caller. 



F. A. Weber, C. C. Sanders and J. W. 

 Schuette, our local nurserymen, left 

 Monday night for Dallas, Texas, to at- 

 tend the nurserymen's convention. Be- 

 fore returning Mr. Sanders will visit 

 Galveston and other points in Texas. 



Charles Holzborn, who has his place 

 at 3150 Oak Hill avenue, had a narrow 

 escape from death on Saturday, coming 

 in collision with a street car. The horse 

 was so badly hurt that it had to be 

 killed. Mr. Holzborn came out without 

 a scratch. 



Martin Rcukauf, who represents H. 

 Bayersdorfer, of Philadelphia, Pa., left 

 Monday uight for Louisville, to be with 

 the home-comers there this week. 



Arthur Ellison is now in the employ 

 of the Union Electric Light Co. 



Gus Miller, who has greenhouses at 

 Bowbrink Station, will this week open 

 a store at 7718 South Broadway, where 

 he has the field to himself. 



Samuel B. Young, who was agricul- 

 trr'^l and horticultural agent for the 

 Missouri Pacific & Iron Mountain sys- 



tem, has resigned his position to take 

 up fruit farming in Arkansas. 



The Ayers Floral Co. has the hall 

 decorations for the two largest school 

 closings on Thursday and Friday. 



Chas. Ducher, landscape gardener at 

 the Chain of Rocks, was shot by an un- 

 known man last week. From last ac- 

 counts he was out of danger. 



George Ostertag, superintendent of 

 jtarks, has made good from the jump. 

 All the parks certainly look beautiful. 



Bowline. 



The florists ' bowling club wound up 

 its season in the city league last week 

 Thursday and came in last in the race. 

 A total of 102 games were played dur- 

 ing the season. The seven florists who 

 comprised the team made the following

NEIF YORK. 



The Market. 



One may as well settle down to a 

 consciousness of the fact that it is sum- 

 mer and be satisfied, as has been the 

 custom in past years, and wait patiently 

 for the schools to reopen and society 

 to come home again in September.
