You know what hot Weather does to stock. Well, Milwaukee is well favored, 

 as we have no very hot weather here, and in consequence stock of all kinds is still in 

 good shape. Big cut of fancy Carnations, Roses and Giganteums. Try a few shipments 

 and be convinced.

bring the exhibitions of the society up 

 to the standard it enjoyed a few years 



ago- 



The advent of hot weather was dis- 

 astrous to the keeping of cut blooms on 

 the benches, few retaining their fresh- 

 ness in the warm hall, while the heavy 

 shower about daylight on the morning 

 of the show spoiled many buds and blos- 

 soms that had been singled out for the 

 exhibition. Strawberries were at their 

 best, although the showing was limited. 



The exhibition was benched as artis- 

 tically as could have been expected with 

 the stock they had, by the exhibition com- 

 mittee, consisting of Alexander Macrae, 

 William Appleton, John A. Macrae and 

 William Hill, who are all commercial 

 growers, and three amateurs. 



Qub Meeting. 



"Carpet Bedding" was the subject 

 of the paper read by William Appleton 

 at the regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' and Gardeners' Club of Khode 

 Island, which was held in its rooms June 

 21. The meeting was well attended. 

 President Charles Macnair was in the 

 chair. Several begonias were exhibited 

 and a general discussion followed upon 

 the different varieties and the methods of 

 growing. Mr. Appleton illustrated his 

 talk with a number of diagrams that 

 proved both interesting and instructive. 



An invitation was extended by James 

 Hockey to the members of the club to 

 visit Ms greenhouses at Pawtucket. The 

 invitation was accepted and the visit will 

 be made in the near future. 



President Macnair appointed the fol- 

 lowing committee to make arrangements 

 for the annual outing: James Dillon,

Various Notes. 



Thomas Curley, caretaker of the state 

 house grounds, reported a few days ago 

 to the police that boys had broken down 

 a portion of the hedge. A young man 

 was arrested and fined $10 and costs for 

 the depredation. 



A first dividend of three per cent has 

 been declared by Referee in Bankruptcy 

 Chester W, Barrows in the case of M. 

 Butler & Son, of Newport. 



John A. Macrae will erect another 

 greenhouse, 18x120 feet, on his property 

 at 1246 Smith street. This is one of the 

 houses that he purchased last fall from 

 the Bichard Dunbar range, at Bristol. 



A number of the friends of Neil Ward, 

 who is to leave Lonsdale in a few days 

 for Scotland, paid him a surprise visit 

 on the evening of June 24, at his home, 

 and presented him with a gold watch 

 charm, suitably inscribed. 



Alexander H. Johnson, of Johnson & 

 Son, was in camp with the State's Na- 

 tional Guard at Fort Grebel last week. 

 He is major of the first battalion of the 

 First District Coast Artillery. 



Johnston Bros, are receiving the sur- 

 plus from William Jurgens, of New- 

 port, of a new pink rose similar to Kil- 

 larney, but unnamed. 



John G. Jensen is about to add to his 



range, at the corner of Broad street and 

 Fifield avenue, two houses, one 18x58 and 

 the other 45x150. 



Joseph Kopelman is cutting several 

 thousand sweet peas daily. This is the 

 first crop that he has taken from his new 

 farm, which he purchased some months 

 ago at Oaklawn. 



William H. Tarbox, the "Dahlia 

 King" of East Greenwich, has been 

 drawn for jury duty in the Superior 

 Court. W. H. M. 



JOHNSTOWN, PA. 



There are about 120,000 feet of glass 

 in and about this city, divided among 

 four florists, which seems an excessive 

 proportion for the population, now about 

 75,000. Twenty years ago the disastrous 

 flood reduced the population to about 

 5,000 or 6,000, so there has been a re- 

 markably rapid increase since then. 



Some wholesaling has to be done an.l 

 our only outlet is the wholesale houses 

 in Pittsburg, nearly 100 miles away. 

 Even this is sometimes a relief, when we 

 have difficulty in disposing of surplus 

 stock. The low price of coal is quite 

 an inducem'iit for greenhouse men here. 



Decoration day business was good here, 

 considerably better than last year. Good 

 stock became extremely scarce on the 

 Saturday preceding the great day. All 

 the florists were satisfied with the 

 amount of" business done. E. Feyeb.
