The Market. 



We have been most agreeably surprised 

 by the steady and continuous run of 

 good business we have been having. No 

 matter how hot it has been we have 

 had trade; as yet there has come no 

 summer dullness. The usual number of 

 June weddings, school exercises, as well 

 as much funeral work, has made the 

 entire month busy. The demand for 

 roses keeps brisk, and the supply is 

 large. Beauties still are good in size, 

 but other varieties are small and poor. 

 Carnations are plentiful, quality good 

 for the season, and the demand cleans 

 them up, even if some do go at low 

 rates. Peonies have had a great run this 

 season; they seem to become more popu- 

 lar every day, and have sold at good 

 prices from the first. Other flowers and 

 green goods arc reasonably plentiful. 



The death of Gov. Pattison at Cincin- 

 nati, June 18, made considerable funeral 

 work for our stores. 



The weather has been showery lately, 

 and everything is making a fine growth 

 outdoors. 



Variotn Notes. 



One of our largest department stores 

 has been having large sales of bedding 

 plants; their latest prices have been 29 

 cents each for Baby Ramblers. They 

 say, "This rose has been sold right here 

 in Columbus, not more than a week ago, 

 for $2 each." Other plants are: Coleus, 

 1 cent each; cannas, 3 cents, and they 

 were good plants. 



Graff Bros, have been handling during 

 the past fortnight enormous quantities 

 of carnations, in two grades, at 25 and 

 35 cents a dozen. Customers are plenti- 

 ful at these rates. 



The bowling team of our club is work- 

 ing hard at least one evening a week. 

 We expect to have a very good number 

 of bowlers to select from for the Dayton 

 tournament. ^ 



The Livingston Seed Co. has been hav- 

 ing sales of tomato plants that run into 

 several millions. Owing to the general 

 shortage of plants, business in this line 

 has been especially brisk. 



Mrs. M. B. Faxon, the seedsman's 

 wife, is in Boston visiting her mother 

 and sisters. Mr. Faxon is with the Liv- 

 ingston Seed Co. 



The premium lists for the Ohio State 

 Fair, which takes place here September 

 3 to 7, are now being distributed. Tho 

 premiums are very liberal for flowers 

 and plants. 



The Franklin Park Floral Co. tells us 

 that its force never was so busy, or had 

 so many wedding and floral decoration 

 orders ahead, as at this season.

 Laurel Festooning, Southern Boxwood, 

 Bronze and Green Galax and all kinds of Florists' Supplies
