There were a number of visitors from 

 a distance, including Harry A. Bunyard, 

 with A. T. Boddington, New York, who 

 has a large trade among tiie skilled gar- 

 deners at Lake Forest and Lake Geneva 

 and pays tnem an annual visit.

to one-half its usual length in order to 

 be back in time to receive and distribute 

 his company 's bulbs. Talking about these 

 bulbs, Mr. Freud said that the crop of 

 Lilium Harrisii in the larger sizes is very 

 short this year. The Bermuda growers 

 are only able to send out one-half of the 

 quantity promised in 7x9, while their 

 orders for 9x11 nave been cut down in 

 some cases fully ninety per cent. Ex- 

 plaining this, Mr. Freud said that the 

 bulbs had not developed in the ground, 

 and while they were perfectly healthy, 

 all the growers have a vast preponderance 

 of .5x7 and most of them would gladly 

 increase their orders for this size. Mr. 

 Freud said it gave him much pleasure to 

 state that his company had so arranged 

 matters that their orders for the large as 

 well as for the small sizes woun be filled 

 exactly as booked. When asked how this 

 was possible, when the growers were so 

 generally cutting down on the larger 

 sizes, Mr. Freud smiled pleasantly and 

 said that the Henry F. Michell Co. knows 

 how to manage a little thing like that, 



Variota Notes. 



Edward Reid will leave New York on 

 a Clyde line steamer July 24 for Jack- 

 sonville, Fla. Mr. Reid will be absent 

 a couple of weeks, visiting his friends in 

 the south. 



M. Rice & Co. have just completed two 

 of the largest wheat sheaf orders ever 

 place<l. They are now using their own 

 patent wheat picking process, which en- 

 ables them to produce a perfectly uni- 

 form sheaf. 



E. .T. Steele, Middletown, Del., was in 

 this city a few days ago. Mr. Steele is 

 the fortunate possessor of a late planted 

 house of carnations, that has been doing 

 splendidly during the present hot 

 weather. 



Ednumd A. Harvey, Brandywine Sum- 

 mit. Pa., who was in town on Monday, 

 said that his indoor carnations looked 

 better than ever before at this season. 

 They have absolutely no stem-rot. 



William .T. Muth, manager of the 

 Philadelphia Cut Flower Co., has been 

 enjoying a few days' vacation, taken a 

 day at a time. Mr. Muth will be too 

 closely tied this season to remain long 

 away from his post. 



The bowling scores given last week 

 were made by those who had secured an 

 average of 150 or over in fifteen or more 

 games, thus qualifying to compete in 

 the final tournament of fifteen games to 

 be rolled in five series of three each 

 during this month. The first series was 

 rolled on the home alleys, the second on 

 the Olynlpia alleys. The third, also on
