Zech & Mann are putting a balcony 

 across the front of their store, to make 

 additional space for the oflSce and ship- 

 ping department. 



H. Will, of R. Will &, Son, Minne- 

 apolis, while in town last week bought 

 (5,500 field-grown carnation plants of 

 Wietor Bros. It is worth while noting 

 that the Wietor establishment has thir- 

 ty-five cars of the Castner, Curran & 

 Bullitt Pocahontas coal already in its 

 sheds, and five cars more were on the 

 way the first of the week. They burn 

 altogether about 5,000 tons per year of 

 this coal. 



Ganger & Gormley use funeral designs 

 for window pieces with good effect. 

 One day this week the center of the 

 window was occupied by a standing 

 wreath of ivy, valley being inserted 

 among the ivy leaves along the upper 

 third of the wreath. A bow of chiffon 

 was tied at the top, with narrow chiffon 

 leading out among the sprays of valley. 

 The base of the wreath was of asters 

 and lilies. 



The north end growers have had reason 

 to complain of rapidly advancing taxes 

 and to them it will be good news that the 

 board of review ha.s decided to make 

 a reduction of fifteen per cent in all 

 assessments in the twenty-fifth and twen- 

 ty-sixth wards, where there are so many 

 big greenhouse establishments. 



J. P. Risch is on deck again after 

 his vacation. Percy Jones says the 

 Flower Growers' market is, full — no 

 more space to rent. 



Among the week's visitors were J. 

 Brumenschenkel, of Mansfield, O. ; W. W. 

 Coles, returning to Kokomo from his 

 vacation ; H. Will, Minneapolis ; W. E. 

 Hand, of the Argos Floral & Plant Co., 

 Argos, Ind. ; Mr. Powell, who is inter- 

 ested with Dora Brown, at Goshen, Ind. 



OwATONNA, Minn. — The Clinton Falls 

 Nursery Co. has built a new house, 180 

 feet long, for violets, and will build two 

 rose houses this fall. They will be 

 ready to cut October Frost chrysan- 

 thepums, with stems five to six feet long, 

 in quantity by September 10.

BOSTON. 



The Market 



There has been a slow market the last 

 week. Cold, unseasonable weather for 

 August did not improve business. Asters 

 are still the leading flower and are arriv- 

 ing in immense quantities. Prices vary 

 from 25 cents to $1.50 per hundred, few 



reaching the highest figure. Gladioli are 

 also abundant and hard to clear at $3 to 

 $4 per hundred. Carnations are more 

 plentiful, but short-stemmed as yet, com- 

 paring unfavorably with good asters. 

 There is a veritable deluge of roses, 

 mostly of inferior quality, which sell low. 

 Easter lilies remain about the same, S- 

 cents per flower being the average price. 

 Quite a few sweet peas are again coming
