HARTFORD, CONN. 



The condition of crojis in ('onncctieut 

 this year is eight jier cent better than 

 the yearly average for the last ten 

 yeai>. A gri-at many peojde from the 

 middle west are investigating the many 

 ojiportunities that Connecticut offers. 



The Hartford Market dardeners' 

 -Association, at a recent meeting in the 

 rooms of the board of trade, talked 

 over plans for an exhibit which the 

 association will make at the Connecti- 

 cut fair in Charter Uak park. A com- 

 mittee was elected, the chairman of 

 which is Horace B. Williams, of East 

 Hartford, to .arrange for the exhibit. 



In resjjonse to an invit.ation from the 

 < onnecticut Agricultural College, at 

 Storrs, to inspect the crop of vegeta- 

 bles at that institution, the members of 

 the Market (iardeners" Association 

 went there on a tour of inspection, 

 August 2.5. Extensive experiments in 

 growing vegetables are conducted at 

 Storrs. .T. W. (Jrowel, secretary of the 

 association, made the arrangements for 

 the trip. T. L. B. 



CINCINNATI. 



AUentown, Pa. — Ernest Ashley, the 

 florist at Fourth and Tilghmau streets, 

 is building another greenhouse on the 

 Hcthbdiem juke. 



The Market. 



The usuiil glut of poor summer flow- 

 ers is still on. All the good stock 

 iinds eager buyers, while the other finds 

 its way t-o the ash barrel. The prices 

 ar(> normal for the season. ^ 



The demand is fickle. It always calls 

 for more of a certain kind of flower- 

 than is available. For instance, at 

 ])resent IHiea Keid and pink roses are 

 comparatively scarce and the call for 

 them is good. On the other hand, there 

 are plenty of American Beauties and 

 a small call. The same is true of 

 longiflorum lilies; there arc plenty of 

 them and not a large rcMpiest. The 

 good astei's and gladioli ar(^ taken in a 

 hurry at fair jirices, while the jioorer 

 (Uies Jielp congest the refrigerators. 

 A'alley is now in the market every 

 day. 



The green goods market is quiet. 

 Smilax is in sni;ill supi)ly. Some good 

 ]iliimosus can l)e had. 



Various Notes. 



The Ohio Valley Exposition, which 

 opens August 29, will undoubtedly lielj) 

 business. The speed boat races on the 

 ri\er and the exposition itself, with 

 the ojicra, will attract thousands of 

 outsiders. There has been some talk 

 of having an exhibition for florists, but 

 nothing has been definitely decided. J. 

 Ch.as. McCullough says that he will be 

 ;iblo to give definite information within 

 four or five days. 



i^ Witterstaetter has just received 

 two carloads of pots. He has almost 

 linished jilanting his carnations in the 

 houses, in s])ite of the dry weather, 

 thev lift easily and suffer little after 

 jdanting in the benchev. ^Ir. Wirjer- 

 staetter has found a heavy <lemand for 

 carnation plants from the field, a de- 

 mand wliii-h he was unable to fill, as 

 he scarcelytlad enough for himself. 



Weilaiid & Olinger hav(> been receiv- 

 ing large cuts of White Killarney, which, 



considering the flower and the season 

 of the year, hold up wonderfully well 

 and make a welcome addition to the 

 stoidi of white flowers in the retail 

 stores. 



E. Ci. C.illett is receiving a large cut 

 of Beauties from Heller. 



Large shipments of excellent longi- 

 lloriims are still arriving at Wm. Mur- 

 phy's. ^ 



C. E. Critchell has a large supply 

 of asters of all varieties and colors. 

 After leaving KochesteK, he went di- 

 lectly to Macdvinac Island to join his 

 wife and little son, C. E., Jr. 



Mr. and Mrs. J. A. I'eterson went 

 to the Thousand Islands from the con- 

 vention. 



Wm. ]Murpliy reports fishing better 

 than for years at Snow Islands. 



Miss Slianahan has returned from 

 her vacation, spent in the north. 



.Mrs. Hider and party from Ilills- 

 boro, O., spent August 21 in Cincinnati 

 and at Coney Island. 



Chailie Windram, who is in North 

 iVakota, has found game so i)lentiful 

 that he has written home for his gun.

FOR WIDE-AWAKE RETAILERS. 



The illustration gives a clear idea of 

 the jiew Avedding gates and arch which 

 Mr. Jiayersdorfer has made for the spe- 

 cial purpose of meeting a \ariety of 

 needs. The arch or the gates may be 

 used sejiarately; or the wlnde jiiece 

 may be used together, as in the plioto- 

 grapli; or they may be used, foliage- 

 covered, as ri music screen or to hide a 

 st.'iirway, or as a background for 

 flowers. The material is rattan and 

 enamel. The holders surmounting the 

 arch and on the gate jiosts are in- 

 tendeil for pots, but can also be used 

 for \ast's of cut flowers. Phil. 



Medicine Lodge, Kan. — John L. 

 Brady has found it necessary to retire 

 from business on account of failing 

 health.
