acre tract, bounded by the Pennsylvania 

 railroad on the north, from which they 

 have a switch, and on the east by the 

 city street car line, which terminates in 

 front of their place, while across the rail- 

 road tracks lies Easthaven, the Eastern 

 Indiana Hospital for the Insane. Visit- 

 ors to the E. G. Hill establishment can 

 go direct to the door on the Easthaven 

 car, and will find an up-to-date commer- 

 cial place, with the latest and most prac- 

 tical ideas in heating and bench construc- 

 tion. Trade interest will still center in 

 the testing of "E. G. 's" seedling roses, 

 and "Joseph's" new carnations. 



LEXINGTON, KY. 



TheMjtfket. 



Business is extremely quiet and has 

 been since the beginning of this month. 

 We are having some warm weather now 

 and plenty of rain. All the growers are 

 busy cleaning their houses and planting 

 roses and carnations. 



Sweet peas are about over for this sea- 

 son. The ones that are coming in are of 

 poor quality. Tuberoses are becoming 

 more plentiful and of better quality. 

 Asters have made their appearance with 

 some of the growers, and in two or three 

 weeks they will be plentiful. Gladiolus 

 spikes are still plentiful and good, and 

 are about the best sellers in cut flowers 

 at present. Other outdoor ' flowers are 

 also in good supply. Asparagus, fern 

 leaves, smilax and other green goods are 

 in good supply. 



Carnation plants in the fields are doing 

 well, considering the rainy weather we 

 have had. There has been but little 

 stem-rot so far. 



Vaxtous Notes. 



The boys at the J. A. Keller estate are 

 busy planting roses and other stock. One 

 house has been finished a^d the stock is 

 in excellent condition. They will no 

 doubt cut some of the best flowers in 

 this neighborhood. Carnations in the 

 field are looking well at this place and 

 some 20,000 will be planted this season. 

 Several thousand chrysanthemums have 

 also been benched. 



William Bell, it is said, will dispose of 

 his greenhouses on West Main street. 



Joseph Le Clere, of Olympian Springs, 



Olympia, Ky., was a recent visitor in this 

 city. 



O. C. Heberling, of the Georgetown 

 Floral Co., Georgetown, Ky., was also a 

 caller. Blue Gbass. 



NEVYORK. 



ThtMMAtL 



This week opened tvith a temperature 

 under 70 degrees, after helpful rains in 

 and around New York, relieving the long 

 drought and bringing salvation to the 

 gardeners and renewed life to the parks 

 and gardens, that were gray and sear 

 and close to complete destruction. It was 

 a narrow escape for the market gardeners 

 and the effect of the drought also was 

 felt in the cut flower market, for ship- 

 ments are limited and not up to the 

 proper standard in quality. The gladioli 

 had to have rain or give up. Now the 

 usual flood may be depended on. 



Supplies of everything are limited and 

 even an ordinary demand cleans up the 

 shipments. Where stock is perfect, bet- 

 ter prices are now obtainable. Good 

 Beauties sold occasionally last week at 

 25 cents. Other roses are still small, 

 short-stemmed and have not begun their 

 advance. It will be several weeks be- 

 fore stagnation ends. There is nothing 

 doing to lift the general market. Most 

 of the carnations go to sleep on arrival. 

 The good stock sells well and at better 

 prices than have prevailed. 



Sweet pea prices are back again to 

 bottom figures and the supply grows 

 daily. Orchids are superb and abundant 

 and prices far from satisfactory. Asters 

 were badly handicapped by the heat and 

 quality so far is poor. No good stock is 

 yet arriving. The Rochester offerings, 

 however, are looked for daily. 



Time to Get Together. 



The boycott is still abroad in the land 

 and the opportunity for fraternity, good 

 feeling and mutual benefit seems to have 

 gone a-glimmering. Between wholesaler 

 and retailer there should be no misunder- 

 standing. Each has his legitimate place 

 in the florists' business and the rights 

 of each should be mutually respected. 

 But peremptory demands are poor 

 weapons for the accomplishment of good 

 results. If there has been some dis-
