The w eather has turned cooler at last, 

 aud the change, although radical in its 

 extremity, is nevertheless welcome. We 

 have gone through the hottest spell on 

 record here, somewhat tempered with 

 breezes, but no rain, and the drought 

 was beginning to do considerable dam- 

 age to carnations and field crops in 

 general. However, it rained July 23, 

 and now the thermometer is down to 

 •lO degrees. 



Except for funeral work, a summer 

 quietness has settled down on business, 

 and it is well that such is the case, as 

 there are hardly any flowers to do busi- 

 ness with; practically no carnations or 

 roses, and few sweet peas, as all outdoor 

 stock was practically ruined by the hot 

 weather. 



Prices, despite the dullness, remain 

 as last quoted. Carnation planting will 

 begin actively next week. 



Various Notes. 



R. Yonkers has just received a carload 

 of pipe, fittings, and a large Kroes- 

 <hell boiler to be used for heating the 

 new houses now being erected. 



The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co is 

 building a two-story cement block com- 

 liination potting shed and boiler room, 

 ;ind is also putting up a brick chimney 

 instead of the old style iron smoke- 

 stack, so long in use here. 



The Grand Kapids Floral Co. is build- 

 ing a large barn of cement blocks, two 

 stories high, including a cement cellar 

 for storage purposes, starting bulbs, 

 etc. G. F. C.
