stemmed and poor. Boses are good and 

 quite plentiful. Lilies are fair. Valley 

 is about the same, with the price up to 

 75 cents to $1 per dozen. Single violets 

 are coming in and are exceptionally 

 good. Some fine Golden Glow and 

 Smith's Advance chrysanthemums are 

 coming in. Potted plants, such as ferns, 

 solanums and begonias, sell well. 



Various Notes. 



Meacham & Hassell have been mak- 

 ing various changes in their store, hav- 

 ing had it repainted and a balcony 

 office put in. Business is picking up. 

 They had a fine window display of 

 aconitums last week. 



S. H, Saunders has repainted the 

 front of his store and is making vari- 

 ous improvements. He had a fine win- 

 dow display of ferns and mosses this 

 week. 



Louis Bobinson has received his ship- 

 ment of azaleas from Belgium. 



N. F. Higgins has a fine lot of Boston 

 and Whitmani ferns. His mums are 

 looking fine and will be ready for cut- 

 ting this week. 



Mark Aitken's new store is finding 

 favor with the flower buyers. Busi- 

 ness has been fihe since the opening. 



The flower beds at Forest park have 

 been unusually fine this year. Plans 

 are being made for a rose garden next 

 season. There is need of a public rose 

 and perennial garden here, as there are 

 none of any account nearer than Hart- 

 ford, Conn. The North End Green has 

 been quite a success. From a barren 

 spot last year, it has been changed into 

 a beauty spot. Next year more smooth- 

 leaved plants will be used on account 

 of the dust. It presents a fine appear- 

 ance and gives a good impression to 

 people entering the city to see some- 

 thing green in the midst of a busy 

 thoroughfare. F. J. C. 



Battle Creek, Mich. — Joseph Case is 

 reported to have closed up.
