The Market 



Business for the last week has been a 

 repetition of the previous week. Outside 

 of some funeral work, there is nothing 

 else to be expected this time of the 

 yestr. Stock, with the exception of good 

 asters, is fairly plentiful. 



Florists* Picnic. 



The City Florists' Club held its annual 

 picnic at Germania park last Thursday,, 

 and had a most enjoyable time. The 

 ball game between the north sides and 

 south sides was a spirited contest, and 

 was won by the former by the narrow 

 margin of one run, the score being 9 to 

 8. The batteries were Henry Rhoden- 

 beck and Chas. Pahud, for the south 

 sides, and E. W. Sellers and Wm. Strego, 

 for the north sides. It looked as though 

 Rhodenbeck had it on the north aide 

 boys, for in the beginning of the fifth 

 inning the score was 8 to 4 in their favor. 

 The north sides went after him in great 

 .>4hape in this inning, and made five runs, 

 ending the inning with a home run by 

 \Min. Strego, the game being called on 

 account of rain. The rain no doubt saved 

 Henry the disgrace of being taken out 

 of ; the box, as the north, side boys were 

 pounding the ball all over the lot. 



In the running race for ladies. Miss 

 ?]lsner was first and Mrs. Pettit second. 

 Miss Pahud was first and Mrs. Braend- 

 laen was second in the bowling contest 

 for ladies. 



There wer© numerous other events, 

 which took the greater part of the after- 

 noon and were much enjoyed. A storm 

 blew up at about five o'clock, and every- 

 one retreated to the bowling alleys, where 

 an enjoyable evening was spent. The 

 prizes for the children's events were do- 

 nated by Geo. H. Swain.

The Market 



Market conditions have not changed 

 since last report. An occasional wedding 

 and small social function are held now 

 and then, otherwise there is practically 

 nothing doing, except funeral work, but 

 that has been quite lively of late. As to 

 stock at any of the wholesale houses, 

 there is plenty of it, but the quality is 

 poor in roses and carnations. 



Asters are becoming plentiful and the 

 best of them sell well at fancy prices, but 

 only in the lighter shades. Gladioli are 

 abundant and of good quality. In these, 

 too, the light chades have the call. The 

 fancy colors are mostly used for window 

 dressing. 



Auratum and longiflorum lilies sell 

 well. • Valley is slow, with a few out- 

 door flowers. The foregoing is about 

 what makes up the daily market. The 

 market has the usual greens on sale. 

 Fancy ferns and asparagus sell well. 

 Smilaz is in slow demand.
