 is now being cut from this place.

 Nursery, spent last week in Chicago in

 big plants in that city.

 but are now on the road to recovery. 



The Kiessen Floral Co., John Burke, 

 the Foster Floral Co., and Alex Siegel,

 every day to the transient trade. 



It is rumored around the wholesale 

 houses that the wholesale baseball team 

 is going to import bi^ Ed Winterson

 retailers, too, would be in favor of Mr.

 cials and says he will enter in the old

 a grand old man.

Summer dullness now reigns and busi- 

 ness is light. The season up to the end 

 of June, however, was one of the best 

 on record and growers are philosophic- 

 ally accepting the inevitable turn of the 

 tide. In roses, Carnot and Kaiserin are 

 meeting with fair sale, the best making 

 $8 per hundred. Bride and Maid are 

 now poor, prices varying from 50 cents 

 to $5 per hundred. Richmond is making 

 from $1 per hundred upwards, but the 

 flowers now have a jaded appearance. 

 Beauties are still seen of good quality^ 

 but are not in heavy demand. Few 

 hybrids from outdoors are seen, strange 

 to say. These are ever3rwhere of grand 

 quality this season and it is strange that 

 hardly any are to be seen in the mar- 

 kets, as they far outclass any indoor 

 blooms at this season. 



Carnations are becoming poor; in fact, 

 no good flowers are arriving. Indoor 

 sweet peas still arrive, but those from 

 outdoors are of much better quality. 

 Peonies are about over. It has been a 

 poor selling season for them. There is 

 an ample supply of gladioli, lilies, corn- 

 flowers. Coreopsis grandiflora and other 

 seasonable flowers. 



Weekly Ezhibftloa* 



Although there were no prizes offered 

 July 6, at Horticultural hall, there were 

 gome interesting exhibits. J. T. Butter- 

 worth had a grandly flowered basket of 

 Odontoglossum citrosmum. The largest 

 raceme carried no less than forty-two 

 flowers and several others were almost 

 as good. He was awarded a cultural 

 certificate. For a magnificent plant of 

 the old scarlet Crassula coccinea, James 

 Crosbie, gardener to Mrs. J. W. Tufts, 

 received a similar award. The specimen, 

 which was in an 8-inch pot, carried 165 

 heads of bloom. 



W. N. Craig showed a collection of 

 Gladiolus nanus and another of sweet 

 peas. In the latter the new scarlet. 

 Queen Alexandra, and Phyllis Unwin, 

 white, were included. 



Mrs. E. M. Gill had a general display
