this firm has been doing a large busi- 

 ness for a number of years. They make 

 a specialty of hardy outdoor rose plants 

 and have been quite successful. 



Loois • Pf eiffer & Sons have discon- 

 tinued their retail store at the corner of 

 Eighth and Race streets. They do not, 

 however, intend to go out of the retail 

 business, but will be found about Sep- 

 tember 1 in a new location. 



The Fourth of July was celebrated at 

 the home of Jasper Murphy by a general 

 reunion of the Murphy family. This is 

 an annual event and brings together up- 

 wards of 100 persons. The principal at- 

 tractions were two ball games. Ed Mur- 

 phy and Geo. Murphy were the respec- 

 tive captains. Geo. Murphy's team won 

 the first game, 15 to 7, and lost the 

 second, 11 to 12. In the evening there 

 were fireworks, and refreshments of all 

 kinds were served during the day. Wm. 

 Murphy and Thos. Windran were the 

 umpires for the ball games and, judging 

 from the various reports, they were ex- 

 ceedingly lucky to escape with their 

 lives. 



John Evans, of Richmond, Ind., was 

 a caller last week. C. J. Ohmer. 



Atlanta, Ga. — The Savannah dele- 

 gation, which came to the inauguration 

 June 29, brought for Mrs. Hoke Smith 

 one of the largest floral pieces of which 

 there is record. It represented a bale 

 of cotton, nearly natural size. That part 

 of the piece representing the sacking 

 was made of purple asters, and white 

 roses represented the exposed cotton. 

 The ties were ribbon. 



2^ -inch pots, ready for 3-inch. Fine, healthy plants, 

 full of shoots, $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per 1000.

The Market 



There is not much to say regarding 

 the florists' trade the last week, only 

 that everything is dull. If it had not 

 been for a few large funeral orders, we 

 could just as well have closed up shop. 



The weather has been hot and the 

 growers are beginning to empty their 

 houses. When this is completed, stock 

 will show a scarcity for a month or six 

 weeks. The wholesalers have been kept 

 busy handling the great bulk of stock 

 that has been coming in, especially sweet 

 peas. It is estimated that over 100,000 

 of these are handled daily at the four 

 wholesale houses. The best of them do 

 not bring over $1 per thousand, with 

 short-stemmed ones much cheaper. 



Pew first-class roses are coming in, 

 the best being President Carnot, Killar- 



ney, Richmond and Ivory, Bride and 

 Maid are poor. Heller Bros.' new rose, 

 No. 51, is taking well with the buyers, 

 as it has a pleasing color and is a good 

 keeper. Carnations are small. The ef- 

 fects of the hot weather are showing 

 plainly. There are plenty of them, but 

 fancy grades are out of the question. 

 Whites are selling best. All the other 

 stock that is coming in is from outdoors 

 and the demand is poor. Plenty of good 

 smilax is to be had; also other greens 

 of all kinds.

L. Baumann and J. B. O'Neil, of 

 Chicago, and A. L. Barnett, of New 

 York, spent the glorious Fourth in St.

The Eggeling Floral Co. has purchased 

 120 acres of ground near St. Charles, 

 Mo., on which a range of houses will be 

 built this summer to grow stock for the-
