on this place and he says he found the 

 replanting well along. 



Vaughan & Sperry say business still 

 is better than at the same date last 

 year. 



Henry "Van Gelder reports that the 

 Percy Jones business practically doubled 

 in the latter half of the year just end- 

 ing. 



Louis Bauscher, of the Freeport Flo- 

 ral Co., Freeport, 111., was in town this 

 week, buying greenhouse material. 



Samuel Murray, of Kansas City, has 

 secured larger quarters at 913 Grand 

 avenue and has been in Chicago the last 

 few days purchasing suitable store fix- 

 tures, ice-boxes, etc. Mr. Murray re- 

 ports a splendid trade in cut flowers 

 and bedding plants this spring. 



F. L. Tornquist and wife, Benton 

 Harbor, Mich., were in town last week, 

 getting prices on greenhouse material. 



P. M. Obertin, of Kenosha, "Wis., was 

 in town June 27. He reports an excel- 

 lent season in bedding plants, both 

 wholesale and retail. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Business is dull. The wholesale 

 houses have an oversupply of all kinds 

 of stock. As a consequence, prices are 

 still low. Nothing in the immediate 

 future is apparent to help clean up the 

 market. 



Boses, owing to drying down and re- 

 housing, are not as plentiful as before 

 and the quality is not what it was. My 

 Maryland and Beauties are the excep- 

 tion. They are holding up well. The 

 demand last week inclined toward pink. 

 The carnations are in large oversupply 

 and some are somewhat off in color. The 

 longiflorums, valley and Shasta daisies 

 offered are exceptional in quality. Owing 

 to the extremely hot, dry weather of the 

 last fortnight, the stems on the sweet 

 peas, though still long enough to work 

 up easily, are not nearly what they were. 

 Feverfews are also overabundant. Queen 

 of the Market and Comet asters are of- 

 fered. The supply of decorative greens 

 is sufficient to meet all demands. 



Florists' Outing. 



The outing committee of the Florists' 



Society held a meeting at "William Mur- 

 phy's June 27. The following tentative 

 plan was agreed upon: The outing will 

 be held at the Country Club, Carthage, 

 O., July 21. This place is very accessible, 

 for there is car service on the Lockland 

 and Glendale cars about every eight min- 

 utes to the grounds. 



The program is as follows: 10 a. m., 

 boys' ball game; 11 a. m. to 12 m., boys' 

 foot races (classes whose age limits are

Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell received a large ship- 

 ment of various kinds of supplies from 

 the east last week. 



L. H. Kyrk is offering consignments 

 of excellent Shasta daisies. 



Weiland & dinger have planned to 

 have "White Killarney, My Maryland and 

 American Beauties all summer. 



Mr. and Mrs. P. J. dinger had as 

 their guests during the last fortnight 

 M. "Weiland and Miss Helen Weiland, of 

 Evanston, 111., respectively Mr. dinger's 

 father-in-law and sister-in-law. It is very 

 interesting to converse with Mr. "Weiland. 

 He related many experiences that he has 

 had in the business. 



Ed Fries, of Newport, Ky., is cutting 

 some fine longiflorums that are growing 

 in the open air. They were planted in 

 coldframes, from which the sashes have 

 been removed. 



Advices from West Palm Beach, Fla.,
