and fixtures in his retail store at Coving- 

 ton, Ky., to Joe Maunder, who took 

 charge immediately. Mr. Benson will 

 leave soon for a trip through the west, 

 taking in California and others of the 

 western states, looking for a place that 

 will suit him as his future home. 



Miss Lottie Weber, daughter of Nick 

 Weber, was married in Milwaukee, Wis., 

 June 37, to Everet E. Clark, also of this 

 city. After a trip about the lakes, they 

 will make their home in this city. 



J. A. Peterson is making preparations 

 to add another greenhouse to his model 

 establishment. 



H. Schmidt, of Oxford, O., was a call- 

 er June 20, and B. F. Hensley, of 

 Knightstown, Ind., was in town June 21,

The Market 



Conditions showed some improvement 

 last week, thanks largely to school gradu-' 

 ations and other exercises. Demand is 

 now lighter and while prices have risen 

 slightly from their lowest level, this is 

 due more to reduced supplies than to 

 increased demand. Koses are much more 

 scarce; in fact, beyond some good Kai- 

 serin and Carnot there are few decent 

 flowers coming in. Prices on these show 

 a little advance. Some good outdoor 

 hybrids are still coming in, but with a 

 continuation of the hot, dry weather, 

 their season will soon end. Carnations 

 are now small and poor. Some growers 

 are sending in few, being preparing for 

 their new crop. Peonies are about over. 



The late flowers have sold well, but the 

 main crop varieties brought poor prices. 

 Some good M. Jules Elie made $1.50 

 per dozen. 



There are now plenty of outdoor sweet 

 peas of good quality. Demand for val- 

 ley, which has been fairly good, is now 

 failing off. Several growers started 

 bringing in asters last week. These, al- 

 though small and short-stemmed, made 

 $1 per hundred. For other flowers de- 

 mand is limited. For window displays 

 a good many gladioli and nymphsea are 

 now being used. 



Rose and Strawberry Show. 



It taxed the resources of the main 

 exhibition hall and one of the smaller 

 halls to hold the exhibits June 20 and 

 21. Although only one class was pro- 

 vided for roses, there was a big display 

 of these flowers. M. H. Walsh had 

 over 600 fine blooms and took first and 

 third for the best general display. W. 

 J. Clemson, J. O. Christensen gardener, 

 was second. Mr. Walsh had quantities 

 of fine flowers of Frau Karl Druschki, 

 Margaret Dickson, Ulrich Brunner, Mme. 

 Gabriel Luizet and many other good va- 

 rieties. There were also large rose dis- 

 plays from W. A. Riggs, J. G. Wright, 

 Colonel Frederick Mason, E. L, Lewis 

 gardener; W. A. L. Bazeley, Mrs. Fred- 

 erick Ayer, George Page gardener; Mrs. 

 E. M. Gill and others. T. C. Thurlow & 

 Co. had a fine collection of peonies, a 

 display of these also coming from George 

 HolUs. 



For fifteen bottles Campanula medium, 

 Mrs. J. L. Gardner, William Thatcher 

 gardener, was first, followed by William 

 Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener. For
