 kel Co. and the equipment the firm will 

 have as soon as the work is completed. 



.lohn Zech is again on deck and 

 thinks he was extremely fortunate to 

 get around so soon after his experi 

 ence with an automobile. 



A. L. Vaughan has spent the last 

 few days visiting the growers of 

 Vaughan & Sperry at New Castle, and 

 the firm's customers at Indianapolis.

 tember 1 and the first of the season's 

 wild smilax September 3.

 houses all were replanted some time 

 ago. 



C. W. McKellar says the shortage 

 of orchids will be ended in another 

 week or ten days by the arrival of a 

 good cut of Cattleya labiata. 



John Michelsen, of K. C. Amling's, 

 has returned from a visit to the con- 

 cern 's violet growers at Rhinebeck. 

 He says that veteran growers tell him 

 there never has been so great a differ- 

 ence in the quality of the plants with 

 the various growers as there is this 

 year. Some have first-class stock, but 

 more have poor plants, and some have 

 exceedingly bad prospects. The drought 

 and the black rot are responsible. 



J. F. Klimmer, of ()f>k Park, is re 

 ported again seriously ill. 



The Luxemburger schoebermess at 

 Evert 's grove, Park Ridge, encountered 

 almost continuous rain the openinjj day, 

 but there was nevertheless a large at- 

 tendance, and an immense crowd re- 

 sponded to the clear sky of Labor day.

 are loading figures at this affair, but

TROY, N. Y. 



The greenhouses of J. G. Barrett had 

 a close call when his handsome dwelling 

 house, only completed a year ago, took 

 fire in the cellar, from some cause un- 

 explained, as the women had not left 

 the spot but a few moments when the 

 outbreak happened. The dry wood 

 caught quickly, and before the fire was 

 extinguished the place was gutted. Of 

 course there is considerable loss, but it 

 might have been worse, for with a high 

 wind the whole plant adjoining would 

 have gone up in smoke. 



Sambrook Bros, are cutting fine stock 

 at the Berlin plant, adjoining the fa- 

 mous Cowee gladiolus farm. M.

There is a slight improvement in the 

 market, and as it has been carried along 

 for a day or two it may be considered 

 to be of the permanent character ex- 

 pected at this time of the year. Sta-
