 can all be gathered into a single 2-inch 

 return, which can be carried back to the 

 boiler by protecting it by the use of 4-

The Market. 



With three holidays, hot weather and 

 the state fair, business for the best part 

 of last week was anything but brisk. 

 Friday and Saturday found the shipping 

 trade somewhat stronger. 



The State Fair. 



Friday, September 11, the Wisconsin 

 State Fair for this year came to a close 

 and, with no rain and a good attendance, 

 it again was a financial success. The 

 cash prizes for flowering beds were award- 

 ed as follows: First, $50, Janesville 

 Floral Co., Janesville, Wis.; second, $40, 

 Heitnian & Baerman, Milwaukee; third, 

 $30, Budolph Preuss, Milwaukee; fourth, 

 $20, Fred Kaiser, Milwaukee; fifth, $10, 

 Alex. Klockner, Wauwatosa, Wis. 



W. E. Dallwig and Hunkel's Seed 

 Store made creditable exhibits, the lat- 

 ter making a good showing of vege- 

 table seeds in quantity, while the former 

 had more of a variety in his exhibits. 

 The competition in the cut flower class 

 was not keen and, owing to very hot 

 weather, it did not show up to any great 

 advantage. Among the local exhibitors 

 were: Alex. Klockner, Currie Bros., 

 John Dunlap; also H. W. Koerner, with 

 quite a collection of gladioli. The Coe, 

 Converse & Edwards Co., Ft. Atkinson, 

 Wis., also had an exhibit. 



Various Notes. 



On September 17 and 18, members 

 of the committee on awards of the Out 

 door Art Association will visit the dif- 

 ferent public schools and judge the merits 

 of the flowers grown by competing pupils. 

 Jardinieres containing ferns will be
