and in the bay towns, going on at the 

 present time, and the police are daily- 

 being asked to try to make an example 

 of the culprits. What disposition is be- 

 ing made of the loot seems to be a mys- 

 tery. 



John T. Meyer is on an extended trip 

 through southern California and will 

 not return to town until about the mid- 

 dle of September. 



C. F. Eltzholtz, representing the Chas. 

 H. Lilly Co., is in town interviewing 

 the local dealers. 



A. W. Menefee, the landscape gar- 

 dener, is located on Shattuck avenue, 

 Berkeley.

 land, Ore., and vicinity. G.

The Market. 



Trade has been heavy in funeral work 

 for the last few days, with stock much 

 better than it has been for some time. 

 Roses are much better, both in quality 

 and quantity. Maids and Brides are 

 about all that are coming in at present. 

 Asters are much better, but quantities 

 of them are so short-stemmed as to be 

 only good for funeral work. 



Carnations are scarce in this market, 



as none of the growers are cutting 

 either old or new stock, but there are 

 prospects of the new stock coming in 

 in a few days. The stock is looking 

 fine and the outlook is bright for some 

 good early blooms. 



Trade in general here is at a stand- 

 still on account of the street car strike, 

 which is still on, with no prospects of a 

 settlement. 



Various Notes. 



The Franklin County Fair was held 

 last week, but was not much of a suc- 

 cess, on account of the strike. People 

 are afraid to come to the city. The 

 time for the state fair is drawing near, 

 and it will be an awful blow to that in 

 case the strike is not over by that time. 



Sherman Stephens reports business at 

 a standstill at the Green Lawn green- 

 houses, as nobody is coming out. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. contem- 

 plates building a dwelling and possibly 

 two more greenhouses this fall at its 

 country plant. 



The Munk Floral Co. is cutting some 

 excellent Maid and Bride roses. 



I. D. Seibert is on a fishing trip in 

 Michigan. 



James McKellar and wife are visit- 

 ing Mr. McKellar 's sister, Mrs. Theo. 

 Miller, of Greenfield, O., and they will 



also visit in Chillicothe before returning 

 home. J. M. 



Fairmount, HI.— W. L. Leeka started 

 business here seven years ago. His 

 total equipment at that time, as he de- 

 scribes it, was "one lone hotbed, 6x16 

 feet," and he "sold only about one- 

 half of what he produced." But since 

 then the demand for his vegetables and 

 flowers has increased faster than his 

 means of supplying them, though he 

 has extended his glass area, both in 

 frames and greenhouses, each year. He 

 is building an addition to his houses at 

 present.
