 did not cover itself with glory at Bal-

It has developed as an obstacle to 

 the big spring show that the Coliseum 

 is under option continuously from Feb- 

 ruary to April. With no certainty as 

 to getting the hall when wanted for the 

 spring b))0w, and with the bigf S. A. F. 

 convention coming here in August, it

Winterson's Seed Store has received 

 A large shipment of French bulbs that 

 were delayed by a quarantine at Genoa, 

 Italy. 



Otto Wittbold says that shipping 

 trade at the Edgebrook greenhouses 

 is picking up again, following a couple 

 of dull weeks in the early part of Au- 

 gust. He expects to receive the first 

 shipments of early hyacinth, tulip, 

 narcissus and Easter lily bulbs this 

 week. 



Early in the summer Ernest Oechslin 

 added one house, 22x88, to his range 

 at RivOT Forest and he is now erect- 

 ing a new service building and boiler 

 room, 30x76. This will add consider-

 of moisture through the dry weather 

 because he has his patch covered by 

 the Skinner irrigating system. But

 water his violet plants during the 

 drought. He says his plants are rather 

 better than usual, whereas unwatered 

 plants are in a bad way. The watering 

 system has been worth this one sum- 

 mer more than its total cost. 



F. F. Scheel, the Shermerville grower, 

 is preparing to erect a new range of 

 Foley steel frame greenhouses. 



A. Henderson & Co. are busy with 

 bulb shipments. 



Peter Beinberg is rapidly completing 

 the benching of carnations at the

 weather is delightfully cool; the qual- 

 ity of everything begins to show im- 

 provement and A more hopeful feeling 

 everywhere prevails. Flower buyer*

 summer vacations. The children are 

 getting ready for the school openings; 

 new theaters are ready for the fall 

 business and many have already begun. 

 The big ships are bringing back the 

 multitude of European travelers, and 

 the Newport season, and, in fact, al) 

 the great summer resorts of the east.
