 flowers.

large consignments of cut blooms of 

 Lilium Philippense from the Cushman 

 Gladiolus Co., at Sylvania, O. This lily 

 is splendidly adapted to growing on a 

 florist's home grounds for use in mak- 

 ing up designs, etc., but it is not spe- 

 cially liked in the wholesale cut flower 

 market, where much of the stock must 

 be reshipped. It does not open well if 

 cut in the bud state. i 



The Budlong family is again sum- 

 mering in cottages at Lake Geneva. Mrs. 

 J. A. Budlong and her daughters and 

 grandchildren are there permanently, and 

 A. H. Budlong and P. C. Schupp go up 

 before the week end.

 Co. force, is taking his summer holiday 

 this week. 



L. P. Walz, who is now in business 

 at Seattle, Wash., sends Chicago friends 

 blooms of a new, large fringed daisy 

 that originated on his place three years 

 ago. He says it is hardy and has all the 

 good qualities of the other varieties and 

 he expects to put the stock on the mar- 

 ket soon. He makes bride's bouquets 

 of the daisy for $10 and finds they give 

 excellent satisfaction. 



It is reported that our old friend of 

 the Masonic Temple, T. Mosconosotes, 

 has opened a retail flower store at Polk

 just as he was called in this market. 



B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., was in 

 town last week, with a big line of 

 samples at the Great Northern hotel. He 

 was working toward Niagara Falls from 

 a trip through the south and said busi- 

 ness had been good right along, prac- 

 tically everyone giving some sort of an 

 order. 



The Pittsburg Plate Glass Co., dur- 

 ing the last two weeks, has secured sev- 

 eral orders ranging from 1,000 ta 1,500 

 boxes each. c^ 



Vaughan & Sperry say the groifrere are 

 all trying the shredded cattle manure, 

 but that sheep manure is, in the firm's 

 present opinion, the best stuff. 



Wietor Bros, are cutting from new 

 stock from about everything on the place 

 except carnations, and the place of car- 

 nations is filled by asters, of which they 

 have a big field again this year.
