this country. At Paris the best stores 

 outclassed anything he has seen in this 

 country. He says that the prices of 

 roses at retail at Paris are about what 

 they are in this country. Violets are 

 much cheaper and other stock slightly so. 

 The roses are not nearly so long- 

 stemmed as those grown here, but the 

 buds are larger, the varieties being all 

 more or less unfamiliar to those who 

 know few roses except those forced in 

 America. Mr. Bassett says it is a revela- 

 tion to see the quantities of stock han- 

 dled at Covent Garden, London, in the 

 early hours of the morning. He found 

 it worth getting up before daylight sev- 

 eral mornings to see how the business 

 is handled there. The majority of the 

 stock is in pots and he thought the 

 prices should be fairly remunerative. 



Weather in May. 



Among other new records made in 

 May was one for unseasonable weather. 



It was the coldest May in twenty-five 

 years; 52 degrees mean temperature, 

 against 60 degrees last year and an 

 average of 56 degrees going back as 

 far as the weather bureau has existed. 

 We had a warm winter, but the cold 

 spring has practically evened the score. 

 The rainfall was about normal. There 

 were twelve cloudy days and nine partly 

 cloudy. 



Variotts Notes. 



There was a meeting of the executive 

 committee of the Horticultural Society 

 at the Union for supper Monday night. 

 Plans for the fall show were discussed 

 and the report of the committee on 

 premium list was accepted. The pre- 

 liminary schedule will be out in a few 

 days. 



Last Sunday afternoon a tall, digni- 

 fied gentleman, bearing a striking re- 

 semblance to Andrew McAdams when he 

 is enjoying the best of health, strolled 



from ball game to ball game in the big 

 field of Washington park, looking for 

 a team in gray suits with "C. F. " on 

 the shirts. He would have found them 

 sooner had he not begun with the games 

 surrounded by the smaller numbers of 

 spectators, for the "C. F." players, few 

 of whom seemed to note the gentleman's 

 resemblance to the dean of the south 

 side florists, were putting up a good 

 fight and had a big crowd. Unfortu- 

 nately at a critical point the other team 

 questioned the score and the contest was 

 not concluded. 



Mrs. Horton, who has had charge of 

 the books and been the right-hand man 

 for Bassett & Washburn ever since they 

 started their city store, fourteen years 

 ago, has tendered her resignation. The 

 firm wants to make it simply a good va- 

 cation. 



Vaughan & Sperry have advices from 

 one of their peony growers that the 

 buds on practically all the plants have
