brought in quite a few orders for bou- 

 quets and cut flowers. The weather is 

 still warm and it will need cooler weather 

 to bring better business in our line. 



As to cut stock at the wholesale mar- 

 ket, there is plenty of everything in 

 season and the blooms from young stock 

 are beginning to look better each day. 

 Beauty, Bride and Maid are of much 

 better color and longer in stem. The 

 same can be said of Killarney and Rich- 

 mond. Carnations are still short in stem, 

 but of good color. There are plenty of 

 first-class asters in all colors, also tube- 

 rose stalks. Good, long smilax is again 

 in the market, also fine asparagus sprays 

 in bunches. 



Various Notes.

 kauf with him.

 Alves have returned from their fishing 



trip, all having gained in weight from

 ited the nursery of H. J. Weber & Sons

K. J, Windier made a lightning change 

 one day last week, having moved his store 

 next door to the old stand. He is now 

 at the corner, with more room and one 

 more show window. 



The second Sunday opening of the year

 The official count was 17,312. Director 

 Wm. Trelease, Superintendent H. C. Irish 

 and the students were on hand to see 

 that everybody was shown points of in- 

 toroat. The garden was never in better 

 condition for an early fall display. The
