TbeMiAet. 



A week of warm weather has put the 

 lid on business and it is on the quiet side 

 at present. With the increase in the 

 supply of flowers there is a glut on in 

 some varieties. This is especially no- 

 ticed in asters. This flower is coming in 

 by the thousands and only the best 

 grades find a market at anything like 

 a fair price. Tlie pooref grades go for 

 whatever is offered, and quite a few go 

 to the barrel. Gladioli are a close sec- 

 ond and, if anything, they sell poorer 

 than the asters, but there are not quite 

 so many of them. Dahlias are beginning 

 to come in and there are some good ones, 

 too. They sell well. Carnations are few 

 and not of good quality. Hoses are in 

 heavier supply, but sell out. Smilax is 

 in good demand and common ferns are 

 also selling well. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Huntsman is not only inter- 

 ested in raising seedling roses and carna- 

 tions but also has a seedling peach which 

 is really a first-class thing. It is a free- 

 stone of fine color, form and size and 

 of excellent flavor. But by far the best 

 quality this peach possesses is that it is 

 a great producer and exceedingly hardy. 

 This variety is producing a good crop 

 this year and on thousands of other 

 peach trees in this locality only a few 

 bushels wiU be produced. William Mur- 

 phy says that from some 2,000 peach 

 trees in his locality, back of Price Hill, 

 scarcely a bushel of fruit will be gath- 

 eerd. This is due, of course, to the ve!y 

 late and cold spring this year. So you 

 can see that Mr. Huntsman's peach pos- 

 sesses exceptional qualities. 



J. O'Malley is spending a couple 

 of weeks at West Baden. He was called 

 home suddenly at the beginning of his 

 vacation by the severe illness of his 

 young son, who now is much improved. 



Gus Adams, grower for Crabb & Hun- 

 ter, Grand Bapids, was a visitor. He 

 seemed well pleased with the outlook for 

 that Michigan city for the coming year. 



Park Superintendent J. W. Rodgers 

 will attend the convention of park su- 

 perintendents in Toronto this week. On 

 his way home he will stop at Philadel- 

 phia to be present at the meeting of the 

 S. A. F. _ 



Cincinnati will be poorly represented 

 at the S. A. F. convention. But two or 

 three will be present. 



Gus Adrian has decided to join Max 

 Rudolph for the trip to the Snow Is- 

 lands. William Murphy will not go un- 

 til he is forced to leave here on account 

 of the hay fever. 



Miss White, of Lexington, Ky., was 

 a caller. She is still figuring on moving 

 to Los Angeles, where she owns some 

 real estate, but has not as yet fully made 

 up her mind. 



C. A. Peters, of Huntington, W. Va., 

 and George H. Mellen, of Springfield, 

 O., were callers. C. J. Ohmer.

 Figure it out as he did, and prove to yourself that the 

 stringing method of supporting your Carnation plants is not 

 quite the right method. In a measure it does its work, but
