The Market. 



There is little doing in the cut flower 

 line. A number of funerals lately have 

 caused considerable work for the retail- 

 ers, and that is about all. Asters are al- 

 most a failure here this year. 



Various Notes. 



K. Zeidler bought Ben Kramer's old 

 houses, tore them down and put up two 

 houses out at his place. One has been 

 planted to roses and the other to carna- 

 tions. 



Nellie Goodge has a tent near her 

 greenhouses, under which they do their 

 repotting, etc. It is raised high enough 

 to give a good circulation of air, and is 

 quite a comfort to her help. 



Joe Elspermann was married in the 

 morning of August 5. He has the best 

 wishes of all. 



H. Seymour has the best asters seen 

 about here. His newly planted carnations 

 are looking well. 



Eoyston & Fenton have been cutting 

 lots of short roses, as the first crop on 

 carried-over stock. L.

The Market. 



This summer's business continues to 

 average up well and we have every rea- 

 son to be satisfied with the total sales. 

 Now and then comes a day when there 

 is nothing doing, and then, again, there 

 is an oversupply in some line of flow- 

 ers, but the average is good. At present 

 asters are scarce, and many more, es- 

 peaially of the better quality, could be 

 used to advantage. Roses are about equal 

 to the demand. Carnations are scarce. 

 Gladioli are in heavy supply and only 

 those of the best quality sell at a paying 

 figure. A few lilies are coming in and 

 they sell at sight. In green goods we are 

 well supplied. 



The severe hot spell, which lasted for 

 such a long time, has at last been broken 

 and we are having delightful weather. 

 The hot spell was broken by a heavy 

 rain, but, aa luck would have it, it waa 

 only local. The country around here is 

 suffering greatly for water and the re- 

 ports from up the state show considerable 

 loss from this cause. The local aster 

 crop has been damaged a great deal. 

 There is also a report of considerable 

 damage being done by a little bug which 

 bores into the bud, causing the flowers 

 to be deformed. 



Various Notes. 



The scheduled meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held at R. Witterstaetter 's last 

 Saturday. It was called to order at 3 

 o'clock, with seventeen members present. 

 The resignation of the present secretary.

C. J. Ohmer, being accepted, the first 

 business was the nomination of a new 

 secretary. George Murphy and Albert 

 Sunderbnich being nominated, a ballot 

 was taken and Mr. Sunderbnich was de- 

 clared elected. The names of five per- 

 sons were offered as candidates for mem- 

 bership. The coming convention at Ni- 

 agara Falls was talked over and the final 

 arrangements were made for our delega- 

 tion. Everything is in readiness now 

 to extend our invitation for the national 

 society to meet here in 1909, and we feel 

 assured, from the many favorable and 

 encouraging letters we have received from 

 the leaders among the florists of the 

 country, that our invitation will be ac- 

 cepted. Nevertheless, we will not relax 

 our efforts until the final vote is taken.
