secured already and the number that are 

 promised, there will be prizes for almost 

 everybody and they are crackerjack 

 prizes, too. The ladies will be well taken 

 care of in this respect. 



Mrs. C. H. Maynard, of Detroit, was 

 a visitor July 25. She came down to 

 make the final arrangements for the meet- 

 ings of the Ladies ' S. A. F. A meeting 

 of the Cincinnati ladies was held in the 

 office of L. H. Kyrk, on the afternoon 

 of July 26. The ladies expect to hold 

 their meetings at the Hotel Sinton, where 

 they have secured commodious quarters 

 and a meeting place that is second to 

 none in this city. They are also planning 

 to entertain themselves by attending the 

 matinee performance at the Grand Opera 

 House. Seats have already been secured 

 for this purpose. 



Within a few days the Florists' Soci- 

 ety will issue a program of the various 

 entertainments, giving full details and 

 instructions, so that there will be no 

 danger of any visitor missing anything. 



William Murphy took a flying trip to 

 Chicago on trade exhibit business and 

 reports being well pleased with results. 

 Orders are still coming in for space. 

 There is going to be a big surprise in 

 store for those who are so fortunate as to 

 see this exhibit. It is going to be just 

 a trifle larger than their wildest imagina- 

 tion and there will not be a thing that is 

 used by florists in this country that will 

 not be on exhibition. 



Various Notca. 



George Walker, who was superinten- 

 dent and caretaker of the Jabez Elliott 

 flower market ever since it was built, 

 died July 25, of a complication of dis- 

 eases. He was an earnest and faithful 

 man and was known and respected by all 

 the florists of this city, especially by 

 those with whom he came in contact in 

 his duties at the market. He had been 

 ailing for some time, but continued to 

 stick to his work till Wednesday, July 

 21. He was buried July 27, from the 

 chapel at Spring Grove cemetery. His 

 funeral was attended by a great number 

 of the craft from this city and there was 

 a profusion of flowers. The trustees of 

 the market will find it a hard matter to 

 get an equally good man to take his 

 place. They were always able to repose

the utmost confidence in him aijd it was 

 never abused. 



Ben Eschner, of M. Bice & Co.. Phila- 

 delphia, was in town and had a fine dis- 

 play of supplies at the Gibson House. 

 Among them were some fine pieces of 

 their latest introduction, called Etruscan 

 gold baskets, which were certainly beau- 

 tiful. 



Mr. and Mrs. Linfoot are off on a trip 

 about the Great Lakes. This will be in 

 the way of a honeymoon, as they have 

 just been married about a month. 



Julius Baer has been camping on the 

 Ohio with his family. 



George Tromey is off for an outing 

 at Atlantic City. He will visit several 

 of the eastern cities before his return. 



Nick Weber has returned from his 

 Michigan trip and reports its being so 

 cold that there was not much pleasure in 

 it, so he came home earlier than he had 

 expected. C. J. Ohmer. 



Springfield, Mass. — Foote & Jones 

 have been awarded the contract for 

 building the farmhouse and greenhouses 

 on Arthur N. Cooley's place, on Crofut 

 street. 



LIMA, OHIO. 



We had a heavy hail here July 15 at 

 7:15 p. m. In ten minutes great damage 

 was done. AdolJ)h Frueh lost 2,000 ftet 

 of glass, just one-third of his area. 

 William Loesher lost about 5,000 feet, 

 half from all his greenhouses. Hichens 

 Bros., Cook avenue, lost 3,000 feet, and 

 T. W. Bouragan had the same amount 

 broken. The Swan greenhouses are 

 nearer the city and they lost only abcJt 

 one-tenth of the range. E. N. Zetli'z, 

 in the center of the city, lost only 3 '0 

 feet, while Ralph Zetlitz, near Wool- 

 lawn cemetery, lost only seven lights. 



From Delphos, eighteen miles f r' m 

 here, comes the news also of a hea y 

 hail storm. J. H. Trentman's loss ^^^ 

 three boxes of glass. 



The storm was coming from the nortli- 

 west, and so the sides exposed received 

 the force of the storm. Plants, vege- 

 tables and fruits were all considerably 

 damaged, even cucumbers in the hou?e9 

 and outside. Nobody carried any hnil 

 insurance. A. F
