The price is away down, and it is hard 

 to move the bulk of the stock at that. 

 Peonies are with us in force, and it is 

 hard to get anything like a fair price for 

 them. A great many are being put in 

 cold storage, and they will probably come 

 in handy in a couple of weeks. Some 

 early candidum lilies are selling fairly 

 well, but with the glut of other stock 

 they do not have much show. Some 

 fancy gladioli are meeting with a good 

 demand and bringing a fair price. Longi- 

 florum lilies are good property, and val- 

 ley is also meeting with a brisk sale. 

 Sweet peas sell well, and there are none 

 too many of the better sorts. 



Ferns are still selling rapidly, and it 

 is hard to get sufficient stock to take care 

 of the demand. The quality is improving 

 with every shipment. The eastern stock 

 ought to be here soon, and then the fern 

 question will be settled for another sea- 

 son. Smilax, asparagus and Sprengeri 

 are all selling well. 



Variotsa Note*. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Society will be held Saturday 

 evening, June 12. It is expected that 

 there will be a large attendance. 



George & Allan are sending into this 

 market some of the finest valley they 

 liave ever grown. They report a heavy 

 demand for bedding plants. 



Ernst Mack has been cutting some 

 extra fine longiflorum lilies^ and they find 



I ready market. 

 Wm. Murphy, superintendent of the 



rade exhibition for the S. A. F. conven- 

 tion, is now all ready to talk business 



vith those who want space. Diagrams of 



he exhibition hall are now ready for the 

 :nail, together with a list of the rules and 

 ;he cost of space. All those who intend 



send an exhibit to this city for the 8. 



V. F. convention had better get busy 



ight away, as there is no time like the 



Present in which to make reservations. 

 Met me say, though, that there is lots and 



ots of space in the hall, and that there 

 ■vill be plenty of room for all who wish to 



ome; but even at that it pays not to 

 wait till the last moijient on occasions 

 like this. That this will be the largest 

 i^rade exhibition ever held goes without 

 raying. 



Whatever You Want We Can Supply 



Choice Stock 



for the June Wedding: work and School Closinsrs. The following are 

 some of our leading specialties : 



BEAUTIES Best on the market. 



We have a range of Beauties grown specially for a cut in June and 

 later. These have much better substance, color, stem and foliage than 

 from plants that were cut from all winter. Try them; they're good. 



ROSES 



Our Maids, Brides, Killarney, Kaiserin and Richmond are all 

 grafted stock. Much better siz^e and substance than own-root 

 stock at this season. 



CARNATIONS N.ne B««er 



We grow the fancy sorts, like Aristocrat, Victory, Winsor, White 

 Perfection, Enchantress, etc., and will not take a back seat, for 

 anybody on quality. They can't be beat. 



PEONIES 



We can supply these in white and pink — in any quantity, 

 best sorts and plenty of them. Prices light. 



The 



SWEET PEAS 



Fancy stock in the fancy colors. Enchantres3-pink, lavender, 

 pink, blue and red. You will say these Peas are all right. 



GREEN GOODS OF ALL KINDS 



You can order of Us 



with every certainty that you are calling on as good a 

 source of supply as there is in Chicago.

Wampum, Pa, — Several hundred potted 

 plants were recently destroyed as the 

 result of the overturning of a wagon 

 belonging to J. S. Hennon. As Mr. 

 Hennon attempted to turn a sharp cor- 

 ner, a wheel came off, spilling the whole 

 load of plants on the street. 



Champaign, III. — Dean and Mrs. Eu- 

 gene Uavenport entertained the faculty 

 and senior class of the College of Agri- 

 culture at their home on South Wright 

 street, June 3. The home was unusually 

 prettily decorated, the floral ornamenta- 

 tion being by Prof. H. B. Dorner of the 

 horticultural department.

GORHAM, Me.— The Memorial day 

 decorations in the window of N. W. Han- 

 naford's store were among the best ever 

 seen here and attracted much attention. 

 With red, white and blue flowers Mr. 

 Hannaford had created an American flag 

 about five feet long and three feet wide.
