age. Twenty-six members of the family 

 were present, 



Mrs. and Miss Dundore, of Lancaster, 

 Pa., were visitors at M. Rice & Co. 's on 

 their return from Atlantic City, July 6. 

 Miss Dundore is with Harry Schroyer. 



The Robert Craig Co. has been sending 

 some fine Lilium auratum to Berger 

 Bros. 



Paul Berkowitz, of H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., has some novel designs in toneware 

 vases. Mr. Berkowitz is confident these 

 modest priced claimants for popular fa- 

 vor will make a hit. 



The glass market has advanced 

 slightly. 



The store of Robert Crawford, Jr., 

 closed June 30 out of respect to Mrs. 

 Rhinehart. 



Eugene Bernheimer is receiving early 

 gladioli. 



A baseball game was played at Wynd- 

 moor July 4, Niessen versus Burton. The 

 visitors being shorthanded, George Bur- 

 ton and two of his friends valiantly came 

 to their aid. Score after nine innings 



was Burton 7, Niessen 4. Mr. Georgb 

 Burton was host and a return game is 

 planned. 



J. Murray Bassett, of Hammonton, 

 N. J., has ten acres of dahlias planted 

 for cut flowers. 



George Burton has begun cutting early 

 Beauties. 



Joseph Beavis & Son will plant their 

 entire place in Richmond, barring only 

 two houses of Kaiserin. Bridesmaid has 

 been dropped. 



A. A. Knott, pansy specialist, at Fox 

 Chase, is doing some rebuilding for the 

 coming season. 



The Leo Niessen Co. has remarkably 

 fine Shasta daisies. Phil. 



MoNSON, Mass. — During the last few 

 years George L. Fuller has been build- 

 ing up a successful trade as a florist, be- 

 sides conducting his business as a shoe 

 dealer. Now he has decided to sell out 

 his shoes and will hereafter give the flo- 

 rists' business his undivided attention. 



CINC3NNATL 



The Market. 



I suppose business is about as good 

 as can be expected at this time of the 

 year, but at that it is pretty bad. There 

 is still a good deal of stock coming in, 

 but the quality of it is so poor that it 

 is hard to move it even at a low price. 

 Roses are plentiful and the best of them 

 are selling well, but by far the greater 

 portion of them cannot be moved at all, 

 as they are practically worthless. Car- 

 nations are about out of the market. 

 There is a lively demand for white ones 

 and good dark pink also go well, but it 

 seems as if no one wants Enchantress 

 when the weather is warm. They lose 

 their keeping quality then, and they 

 have a strong inclination to burn. The 

 hot weather has about run the sweet peas 

 out. They are so short-stemmed that 

 they are scarcely of any use. Outdoor 

 stock of various kinds is in good supply 

 and sells fairly well. Some fine gladi- 

 oli are coming and they go well. Asters
