LUDINGTON, MICH. 



The culture and love of flowers of all 

 kinds have enormously increased in this 

 vicinity during the last ten years. The 

 city, which was originally a lumber town 

 with but little care for literature or the 

 fine arts, has in ten years so changed in 

 these respects that the old resident who 

 has been away during the time would 

 hardly know it now. Asters, sweet peas, 

 dahlias, geraniums, verbenas and nearly 

 all the old kinds of annuals are now as 

 common around our homes as sawdust and 

 shavings were before, and those adorn- 

 ments, with beautifully laid out lawns 

 and well-cared-for trees, render our city 

 one of the prettiest in western Michigan. 

 We have a number of amateur florists 

 wno raise flowers for sale at the Epworth 

 and Hamlin lake summer resorts, located 

 from one to three miles north of the city. 

 Owing to the dampness of our spring and 

 fall seasons, sweet peas are kept in bloom 

 here until October 1, and grow to a size 

 of bloom unknown to the more inland 

 parts of our state. The kinds raised are 

 the Spencer types, mostly of recent in- 

 troduction. Lady Grisel Hamilton, King 

 Edward VII, Dorotny Eckford and Mrs. 

 Walter Wright grow to perfection. The 

 Frank Dolby, of recent introduction, also 

 does remarkably well. The Crego asters 

 recently introduced here are also making 

 a. great hit among the resorters.

DAYTON, OHIO. 



Condition of Bttsiness. 



The condition of last week's trade, in 

 general, among all our Dayton florists 

 was not of the briskest kind. Some days 

 business was exceedingly dull, while oth- 

 ers seemed more prosperous. Carnations 

 are becoming more plentiful each day, 

 and the demand is gradually growing, 

 Roses are good and also plentiful, and 

 longiflorums take well. The indoor asters 

 are nearly a thing of the past and owing 

 to the extremely hot and dry weather, the 

 outdoor asters are not doing well. Most 

 of the florists have ceased to grow the
