ERIE. PA. 



Ctsrrent Comment. 



After a long drought, which was the 

 worst in the history of Pennsylvania, we 

 had a refreshing rain on Tuesday and 

 Wednesday of last week. The forests 

 had been burning near Oil City and 

 there was danger of the oil wells ig- 

 niting. Erie was cloudy with smoke 

 from these large fires, and humanity was 

 suffering for want of rain. In those 

 -exhausting days it was a blessing to 

 J have Lake Erie so close at hand. Vege- 

 'tation is not so greatly benefited by the 

 showers of last week, but the atmosphere 

 is cooler, the fires quenched and the ter- 

 rible dust allayed. 



Tlie local growers are receiving large 

 shipments of Dutch bulbs from Europe 

 this week. 



Mr. Green, a representative of H. Bay- 

 ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, was in 

 the city recently. He was stopping at 

 the Keed House. 



Ed Lichtinger is growing roses for 

 Offerle & Schaal at present. His stock 

 is looking well. 



Miss Borden, saleslady at J. V. 

 Laver's store, has returned from her 

 vacation. 



G. H. Baur left last week for Phila- 

 delphia, where he will resume his studies 

 in the law department of the Univer- 

 sity of Pennsylvania. B. P. 



WASHINGTON. 



SUt^ of Trade 



Conditions are about the same, except 

 the weather. We have had several frosts, 

 but not severe enough to cut any figure 

 with outdoor stock. Cosmos is fine, and 

 there is lots of it. All stock is plenti- 

 ful, with nobody working overtime. 



The stores are making all sorts of 

 efforts to attract the flower buyers. Z. 

 D. Blackistone is advertising a dahlia 

 show in connection with his annual palm 

 sale. Geo. Shaffer has a school flag dis- 

 play; all the seminaries and private 

 schools having special flags with school 

 colors, makes an attractive display when 

 all are grouped. 



Various Notes. 



The Washington Florists' Co. had a 

 pretty design for one of the local the- 

 aters October 5. It was a yellow but- 

 terfly measuring about thirty inchee, 

 made of yellow dahlias and Kichmond 

 roses. It was for the play called the 

 Golden Butterfly.

Adolphus Gude, Anacostia, D. C, Tuesday eve* 

 nlng, October 6. It is Imperative that you do 

 not put in an appearance until sufficient dark- 

 ness has wrapt the world around alMut to in- 

 sure your safe arrival. Detention by the police 

 might embarrass the reot of the bunch. Al- 

 thoaKh the affair is to be informal, it is in- 

 sisted upon that you at least cover nature's 

 garb with a smile. Bring your hammer along, 

 as there will be plenty of opportunity for 

 knocking; use might also l>e found for a cork- 

 Rprew. Also bring that other fellow along and 

 make him a member. 



Extra! Added attraction: There will be 

 enough steam in the boiler and coal in the bin 

 to assure a hot time.
