fine antirrhinums. If you follow a crop 

 of mums, give the soil a dressing of 

 rotted manure or bone and spade it in 

 before planting. 



A night temperature of 50 degrees in 

 winter will suit antirrhinums, although 

 they will grow in a house kept 5 to 10 

 degrees cooler. Mark your best plants 

 and take cuttings from these during the 

 winter. Plant a number of these out- 

 doors and take cuttings from them the 

 following July for another season's crop. 

 As a rule, such colors as white, pink, red 

 and yellow are the best sellers, either in 

 the market or for home trade. C. W. 



ERIE, PA. 



State of Business. 



Trade has been good among the florists 

 this summer, in spite of the dullness in 

 other lines of business. Many strangers 

 are in the city at this season of tha^year, 

 which enlivens trade. Visitors are here 

 from Philadelphia, New York and Bos- 

 ton to seek the cooling breezes of Lake 

 Erie. 



Various Notes. 



W. O. Baur has returned from a ten 

 days' visit at Toledo, O. 



Mrs. Lena Auffinger, sister of Henry A. 

 Niemeyer, died July 30 and was buried 

 Sunday afternoon. Many beautiful floral 

 designs were seen at the funeral. The 

 local florists remembered the family with 

 offerings. Mrs. Auffinger had been em- 

 ployed at Henry Niemeyer 's flower store 

 up to a few years ago. She will be missed 

 among the trade. 



Vern Schluraff, formerly with Schluraff 

 Floral Co., has built new greenhouses on 

 West Eighth street. He is conducting a 

 wholesale place and reports business 

 good. Floral Park is the name of the 

 new place. B. P. 



TOLEDO, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



Without exception, Toledo florists have 

 had a good trade during the last week. 

 A large number of funerals occurred. 

 The opening of the Seeor hotel, Toledo's 

 new million-dollar hostelry, showed the 

 best efl'orts of every florist in the city. 

 The hotel was a bower of flowers, which 

 were a credit to every one of the local 

 florists. 



The incoming stock is of exceptional 

 summer quality. Gladioli and asters are 

 largely used and most of these are home- 

 grown. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Suder furnished a beautiful bas- 

 ket at the Secor opening; 200 American 

 Beauties were used, the handle of aura- 

 tum lilies. 



A mammoth horseshoe, designed by 

 Mrs. Freeman, was made by Geo. Hcinl 

 in which 1,500 American Beauties wore 

 used, and a lot of foliage. 



F. Sehoen presented tlie Secor Hotel 

 Co. with a basket, in which two wooden 

 shoes were placed, surrounded by Killar- 

 ney roses. 



At the Trost-Snyder wedding the bride 

 carried a shower bouquet of stephanotis, 

 and wore flowers of the same sort in her 

 hair. This idea was suggested by E. 

 Suder. 



Many local florists have received ship- 

 ments of ro.ses from the Fostoria Floral 

 Co. and report that they were as good as 

 could be expected at this season.
