terstate Commerce Commission, the body 

 engaged in enforcing the anti-pass law. 

 Mr. Port has tuberculosis. He returned 

 from New Mexico in hopes of selling his 

 greenhouses at Maywood, but has not 

 succeeded. 



Scheiden Ss Schoos are making elab- 

 orate preparations for the dissemination 

 of their red seedling carnation next Jan- 

 uary. They have planted 25,000 of it 

 for cut blooms for exhibition, and for 

 cuttings. The variety is yet nameless, 

 but it will have a good, catchy title by 

 the time of the fall flower show. 



It is interesting to note that a clerk 

 in a downtown book store, who grew a 

 crop of sweet peas in his garden this sea- 

 son, received $56 from a commission man 

 on one week 's sales and $50 on the next. 

 The result is he is now building a green- 

 house and by another season will be a 

 full-fledged florist. 



Bassett & Washburn took advantage 

 of the benefit of the rain to get in two 

 additional houses of their red seedling, 

 O. P. Bassett. They have practically 

 60,UU0 planta of it now benched. 



J. A. Endlong is not cutting much now, 

 most of the houses of roses being in 

 process of drying off. They replanted 

 only a small part of the place this year, 

 the greater part of the grafted stock 

 bein^ carried over. Carnations have been 

 planted some little time and are mak- 

 ing a good start. 



Mike Rocklin, who has been with Bas- 

 sett & Washburn since he withdrew from 

 the firm of Fisher & Bocklin, at Kala- 

 mazoo, has formed a partnership with 

 J. Lehman, and they will start business 

 as Bocklin & Lehman, at 405 Douglas 

 street, Sio\ix City, la. 



Sparks from a Michigan Central 

 freight train set fire to the dry grass 

 near the plant of the Thompson Carna- 

 tion Co., at Joliet, the other day, just 

 before the big rain, and it required con- 

 siderable effort to save the greenhouses. 

 At one time one of the greenhouses was 

 on fire, and much of the stock in it was 

 destroyed. The loss was estimated at 

 uiore than $1,000. 



Charlie Ernie is at home from West 

 Baden and on duty again at E. H. 

 Hunt's. W. R Lynch is at his old 

 home in Massachusetts and making short 

 trips into the fern country. 



E. C Amling says the first shipment 

 of leucothoe this season arrived August 

 1 and the second lot is now in, a month 

 earlier than veual. Green galax also is 

 a month early. 



The Florists' Club gave up the idea of 

 a ^>ecial train to the convention — too 

 many dioee other routes — but there were

The Market. 



Outdoor flowers continue to dominate 

 the market. Of asters there is now a 

 bountiful supply of excellent quality. 

 Gladioli are also good and forthcoming 

 in a wide range of colors. Outside of 

 some good Kaiserins and Carnots, the 

 roses arriving are still small and more 

 than sufficient for all requirements.
