bers an assortment of rates to the con- 

 vention city. These rates varied all the 

 way from $18.85 to $26.25 for the round 

 trip, including the Jamestown exposition. 

 After considerable discussion, it was de- 

 t cided that the dflScial route would be to 

 i.Buflfalo by boat on the D. & B. line and 

 then oyer, the Lehigh "Valley to Philadel- 

 phia, returning the same way. It is a 

 hard matter to state at present how large 

 the Detroit turn-out will be, but a good 

 attendance is already assured. 



Prof. L. R. Taft, of the Agricultural 

 College, asked co-operation in making the 

 next Michigan State Fair at Detroit a 

 success horticulturally. He spoke of the 

 fine facilities for housing the floral ex- 

 hibits in the new horticultural building 

 , and also ran over the large list of prem- 

 iums offered this yeair, something like $400 

 being down for plants and about $275 for 

 cut flower exhibits. It is the intention to 

 have separate judges for the plant and 

 flower exhibits; this was so decided after 

 a suggestion by Hugo Schroeter. The 

 fair will be held from August 29 to Sep- 

 tember 6, 1907. Plants must be in place, 

 ready to be judged, at 10 o'clock August 

 30. Flowers must be in place to be 

 judged at 10 o'clock August 31. 



Two new members were elected, as fol- 

 lows: Albert A. Frey and Frank Wall- 

 ing, both unanimously. 



The meeting was called to order at a 

 late hour, and as some of the members 

 present had to catch suburban cars, the 

 election of officers was postponed until 

 the meeting of September 18. In the 

 meantime there will probably be little 

 doing, as most of the regulars are going 

 to Philadelphia. 



Variotts Notes. 



Harry Bunyard, of New York, was 

 active at the club's outing. J. Stern, 

 of' Philadelphia, was also one of the 

 *rowd; 



It Beetaed good to see Frank Holz- 

 nagle's face again. He has just recov- 

 ered from a long sickness. 



Ed Beard has left for a trip up the 

 lakes. I H. S. 



New Orleans, La. — All the bids for 

 the new greenhouses at City park have 

 been rejected. They ranged from $13,- 

 100 to $14,500 and were considered too 

 high.

The Market 



Extremely hot weather has not bene- 

 fited the cut flower business to any great 

 extent. There is more stock than there 

 is demand for, especially of lilies, roses 

 and gladioli. Asters are a glut ; the half 

 of what come in would more than supply 

 the demand, and as a result they are 

 being sold for any price that is offered, 

 and even street men turn up their noses 

 at anything that is not fancy. The 

 sweet peas coming in are not of much 

 account and most of those shipped are 

 worthless when they arrive. The result 

 is that the wholesalers are working over- 

 time handling junk and trying to get 

 something out of it. 



Variot» Notes. 



I. S. Crall, of Monongahela, is build- 

 ing one house on the old place and will 

 Hot commence building on his new place 

 before next year, when he will give all 

 of the present range over to vegetables. 



The Zieger Co., a new concern, with 

 capital stock $30,000, is breaking ground 



on Baum street for a store and conser- 

 vatory 40x90 for palms and ferns, which 

 they expect to open this fall. Ernst 

 Zieger, who will have charge, was for- 

 merly manager for the Charles T. Sie- 

 bert Co. 



Randolph & McClements are putting 

 the finishing touches on their new store 

 and storehouses. The houses are built 

 back from the street and along the ends 

 of the houses they have built a fancy 

 show house even with the store on the 

 street, giving them 200 feet of show 

 window, without doubt the greatest 

 frontage as well as the handsomest of 

 any retail store in the world. They have 

 in a sense rebuilt the old Siebert green- 

 house, which they bought, besides put- 

 ting up new houses for palms, ferns and 

 other decorative stock. This has kept 

 them busy all summer and it will be well 

 into the fall before they get through. 



Harry Graves, of Randolph & Mc- 

 Clements, and Miss Maud White, were 

 married and started on their wedding 

 trip last Monday night. After visiting 

 Detroit and Mr. Graves' home they will 

 go to housekeeping in the east end. 



George McWilliams, of Natrona, has
