Richard Schmidt, employed with Frank 

 Oechslin, left for the convention at Cin- 

 cinnati Saturday, August 14. He was 

 expecting to spend Sunday with his peo- 

 ple in Covington. 



Among the visitors last week were 

 Frank Otto, of Winnetka, 111.; J. J. 

 Le Borious, Duluth, Minn. ; Mr. Tjens- 

 wald, of the Superior Floral Co., Supe- 

 rior, Wis.; C. M. Weaver, Paw Paw, 

 Mich.; E. W. Plater, Carbondale, 111.; 

 George Kranz, Muscatine, la., who is 

 building two more houses. 



Early this week the town was full of 

 florists bound for the convention.

The Market 



The changes in the market are often 

 kaleidoscopic. Last week there was a 

 paucity of flowers; this week there is an 

 abundance which overcrowds all accom- 

 modations and meets the demand, which 

 had sunk to a comparatively low point, 

 many times over. Early asters are coming 

 into the market in great quantities and 

 much hardy stock is now in evidence, but 

 it shows the effects of the exceedingly 

 dry spell. Carnations are nearly all 

 benched and are in good shape, coasid- 

 ering the very dry season. 



The annual exodus of the city popula- 

 tion to the country, the seashore and the 

 mountains is at its zenith now, and 

 though it is not so large and general as 

 usual, it has a vast influence on current 

 business 



Various Notes. 



Wm. S. Manning, superintendent of the 

 parks in Baltimore, has been selected to 

 head the national organization of Public 

 Park Managers. He was elected at its 

 session August 12, at Seattle, Wash., 

 where the convention was held. 



The local delegation to the convention 

 left Union station 2:45 p. m., Monday, 

 August 16, and had a special car with 

 the Washington boys. Among those from 

 Baltimore were Isaac H. Moss, Geo. S. 

 Kalb, J. H. Kaplinger, Mr. Klutch, Chas. 

 L. Seybold, Henry M. Lehr, Harry Quick,

Michell's Giant Pansy Seed 



Our Giant Strain of Pansips shonld not be compared with the 

 ordinary Giant Trimardeau, as the seed we offer will produce flowers 

 of much heavier texture.

Current Qmunent 



Mark Aitken has recently purchased 

 twenty-seven acres of land in Agawam, 

 just across the river from this city. 

 Plans are being drawn for him by the 

 Lord & Burnham Co. for 50,000 feet of 

 glass to be started early next spring. His 

 present greenhouses in the city are too 

 small to supply his need, and will be 

 removed, if not sold by next summer. 



N. F. Higgins has just completed a 

 new greenhouse, 28x100, which is being 

 planted to carnations. Plants in the field 

 have never done better and are of extra 

 size. A large steel boiler is being in- 

 stalled, capable of taking care of the 

 future growth of the plant, as Mr. Hig- 

 gins intends adding another house in the 

 spring. A house of mums, 25x150, is 

 looking well and would be hard to equal 

 hereabouts. Some newer varieties are 



being tried. Golden Glow, Virginia 

 Poehlmann and Gtolden Chadwick are 

 looking promising, but Pacific Supreme 

 leads them aU; a bench three and a half 

 feet high, just in bud, is a sight worth 

 seeing. No doubt this variety will take 

 the place of Glory of Pacific here. 



William Schlatter & Son are complet 

 ing a house 48x120, with a lean-to 18x48. 

 which will be planted to carnations an<i 

 miscellaneous stock. 



J. W. Adams & Co. have just completed 

 a storage house of concrete and are now 

 working on a greenhouse, 25x100, which 

 will be planted to carnations when com- 

 pleted. 



Osterman & Steele have made extensive 

 alterations in their store on State street, 

 which improve it greatly. M. R. E. 



Champaign, III. — George Franks is 

 again on duty, after a three weeks' hol- 

 iday.
