COLUMBUS, OHIO. 



The Market* 



The excessive heat of the last week 

 has had its effect on the trade in all 

 lines — and at last, after one of the 

 best seasons in years, summer dullness 

 is upon us. Prices, as is expected at this 

 season, have a downward tendency. 

 Good roses have been in short supply, 

 but as the demand has been light the 

 deficiency has made little difference. 

 Carnations and sweet peas have flooded 

 the market; one can buy a good dozen 

 of the former almost anywhere for 

 twenty-five cents; the nominal price of 

 sweet peas is $1 per hundred, in any size 

 bunch the customer wishes, but so great 

 has been the supply that any price is 

 accepted rather than lose the possible 

 chance of a sale. There have been some 

 bright spots in the way of large wed- 

 ding decorations, and several important 

 funerals, which took large quantities of 

 stock and at good prices. A good rain 

 is needed, as it is getting dry. 



The Flof isU' Qob. 



Tuesday evening, June 19, our club 

 held its last regular meeting of the 

 month at Iroquois Hall. Vice-president 

 Curry was in the chair, and Secretary 

 McKellar was on hand. It was a very 

 hot evening, but the attendance was 

 good. The real question of the evening 

 to be decided was: "Shall the club hold 

 a chrysanthemum show this fall." 

 Opinions varied on this point. Those 

 opposed contended that if business was 

 as good proportionately this fall as it 

 had been the last spring, there would

be no time to give to the matter; the 

 enthusiastic ones held that even at some 

 sacrifice of time the show should be held 

 for the good it would accomplish in 

 promoting the horticultural interests of 

 Columbus. After a long evening's dis- 

 cussion of the matter, in which Messrs. 

 Curry, Woodrow, Hills, Bauman, Mc- 

 Kellar, Richer and Wedemeyer took part, 

 it was voted to hold a chrysanthemum 

 show in November. The meeting then 

 adjourned to Monday evening, July 2, 

 when a "smoke talk" and entertain- 

 ment will be held. 



Various Notes. 



The Livingston Seed Co. had a very 

 large number of floral orders for the 

 funeral of Governor Pattison, at Mil- 

 ford, Ohio. So many and elaborate were 

 the designs and pieces that W. J. 

 Williams went to the Pattison home with 

 them — in fact Mr. Williams took charge 

 of all the flowers sent to the funeral 

 and arranged them. 



Graff Brothers continue to dispose of 

 vast numbers of carnations, but at 

 twenty-five cents a dozen. 



Josiah Livingston, the vice-president, 

 and Thomas J. Ludwig, the manager, 

 as well as Frank P. Sperry, who ha.s 

 charge of the farm and field seeds of 

 the Livingston Seed Co., attended the
