Mr. and Mrs. Robert Eahaley left on 

 the morning boat on Monday, August 

 S, to spend a week at Mackinac island, 

 and incidentally spend some of last 

 winter's profits on carnations. 



J. F. Sullivan has placed an order 

 for an elegant new refrigerator, to be 

 installed in the fall. Four doors, each 

 thirty inches by five feet, will give ac- 

 cess to the interior. One feature of the 

 box will be the small amount of wood- 

 work used in the construction of the 

 front. Removable glass shelves will 

 be provided to hold the shorter-stemmed 

 stock. H. S.

The Market, 



At this season of the year it seems 

 to be more of a task than a pleasure to 

 receive orders, as the supply of choice 

 stock is unusually limited. It is often 

 remarked, "If it were not for lilies, 

 what would we do with our summer 

 funeral orders?" Many lilies, such as 

 auratum, Melpomene and giganteum, 

 are extensively grown by many of our 

 florists, and they appear to be quite 

 the thing, as lilies take well, no matter 

 what the occasion for which they are 

 used. There are but few carnations 

 on the market, and the quality of these 

 few is not worthy of comment, but 

 better days are coming for the carna- |

Mention The Review when you write 



tion. It is the same with roses; while 

 they are as plentiful as can be ex- 

 pected, still they are quite small. Some 

 pretty good buds are coming in from 

 the young plants, but with short stems; 

 nevertheless, they work in to good ad- 

 vantage in designing. 



Not many of the florists are growing 

 more than a small quantity of asters 

 this year, as past experience has taught 

 them to be cautious, as so many of the 

 gardeners throughout the country bring 

 them in and sell them at lower prices 

 than are profitable for the florists. This 

 also holds true with gladioli, which can 

 be picked up on the market at $2 per 

 hundred. Funeral work is practically 

 the only thing that keeps business up 

 and stock on the move, but there has ' 



been quite a satisfactory demand alon^; 

 this line. Weather conditions last week 

 were favorable. 



Various Notes. 



George Bartholomew entertained hi? 

 growers, their wives and families al 

 a picnic, August 7, at the National 

 Military Home. A pleasant afternoon 

 was spent, after which a chicken sup- 

 per was served in the large picnic 

 grove adjoining. 



The Miami Floral Co. has increased 

 the capital stock from $50,000 to $75,- 

 000. 



John Boehner left August 7 for Chi- 

 cago, where he will attend the triennial 

 conclave of the Knights Templar.
