and the prize for the best collection 

 was awarded to W. W. Wilmore. Hon- 

 orable mention was given to those 

 shown by Fred Hall and Emil Forter. 



The proposed flower show was, upon 

 motion duly made and seconded, de- 

 clared postponed for this year, Sfor 

 reasons that are given in another part 

 of this news letter. 



During the last few months and, for 

 that matter, all last year, there have 

 been frequent demands for donations of 

 flowers for charitable purposes. These 

 demands have become so heavy as to be 

 a burden to all florists. This question 

 was brought up and discussed at this 

 meeting, and the discussion ended in 

 the appointment of a committee, con- 

 sisting of T. W. Hannah, J. A. Valen- 

 tine and C. R. Root, to draft resolu- 

 tions providing for the election of a 

 committee whose duty shall be to pass 

 upon the worthiness of any charitable 

 demand. The florists will be asked to 

 sign this resolution, agreeing to turn 

 down any demand that hns not been 

 approved by the committee. 



Various Notes. 



An unusual hail storm occurred on 

 the afternoon of September 9. It was 

 unusual because it was unexpected. The 

 day had been cool and cloudy, and 

 never before bad hail been known to 

 do any great damage so late in the 

 season. In some parts there was prac- 

 tically none. It reached its height in 

 Harmon and Montclair, and every 

 greenhouse in that section suffered. 

 Trees were stripped of their leaves, and 

 stock in the fields was pounded into 

 the ground. The hailstones were larger 

 than good sized marbles. One side of 

 the greenhouse at Fairmont cemetery 

 was completely riddled. Fred Hall lost 

 heavily, a good part of the broken 

 glass being double strength and of 

 large size. W. C. Walter reports a loss 

 of at least 700 panes. Brenkert & Wall, 

 at University park, will have to replace 

 about 500 lights. The Mauff Floral 

 Co. has finished counting, and finds a 

 loss of about 600 square feet, all dou- 

 ble strength. Newlander & Rolin lost 

 about 200 panes and A. C. Toothaker

The chairman of the flower show 

 committee, J. A. Valentine, has issued 

 the following announcement: 



"We regret that It is necessary to advise you 

 that the committee In charge has decided to 

 abandon the holding of a flower show in Denver 

 this fall. A number of things have united to 

 make the success of such a show doubtful. In 

 the first place, the distance is so great from east- 

 em growers that nearly all of them have declined 

 to exhibit. In the second place, the merchants 

 of Denver are uniting In supporting a carnival 

 known ab the Festival of Mountain and Plain 

 at a date Just preceding the date for the flower 

 show. Add to this the interference which is 

 generally the result of a national election, and the 

 odds seem to be against the project; especially 

 so when we take into account the fact that busi- 

 ness in general is rather quiet. The committee 



wishes to thank all those who have spoken a 

 kind word for the project, and to especially thank 

 those few who had promised exhibits. We trust 

 none of this latter class will be seriously in- 

 commoded by our giving up the project."

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Business has been much better the 

 last week than in several weeks, due 

 largely to the fact that the schools have 

 opened for the year, bringing home the 

 majority of people who have been at the 

 seaside and country. This has stimu- 

 lated business considerably, and, with 

 funeral work, has made a fairly active 

 week.
