great. The display of fruits and vege- 

 tables was wonderfully fine and the 

 cut flowers and i)lants made a splendid 

 showing, although the number of exhib- 

 itors was not 80 great as in some otl.cr 

 years. It has become a habit with 

 Wietor Bros., who arc prominent in 

 Luxemberger councils, to annex most 

 of the jiremiums for cut flowers, and 

 this year they took all those offered 

 for roses and carnations. They were 

 first for fifty Beauties, for fifty Killar- 

 ney, for fifty White Killarney and for 

 fifty Jardine; also first for display of 

 carnations, showing Bonfire, Enchant- 

 ress, White Enchantress, White Per- 

 fection, Lawson, White Lawson, Wash- 

 ington and Winsor; also first for asters 

 in four colors, white, pink, lavender 

 and purple. In addition to the exhib- 

 its winning premiums, they showed 

 two vases of fifty Killarney, one of 

 Bichniond, one of White Killarney, one 

 of Uncle John and a vase of twenty- 

 five Beauties, all fine, long-stemmed 

 stock. 



Vaughan 's Seed 8tore was first on 

 cut blooms of perennials, with twenty- 

 five handsome vases. The same exhib- 

 itor was first for gladioli, showing pos- 

 sibly 200 spikes. The Ringler Rose Co. 

 was second on gladioli, and Meyers, 

 the Rogers Park grower, second on as- 

 ters. 



In plants, the George Wittbold Co. 

 was first on a fine collection of deco- 

 rative stock, Fischer Bros., of Evan- 

 ston, being second. There were two 

 excellent exhibits of Boston ferns, 

 (Charles Schleif, ."jfi-oS East Ravenswood 

 avenue, being first and Nick Reding 

 second. An amateur grower named 

 Parmantier had twelve enormous celo-

 sign, a well executed airship in asters

Weather in August. 



The temperature for the month of 

 August was nearly normal, the mean of 

 71.8 degrees comparing with 71.2 de- 

 grees as the average for the forty-one 

 years since the government has been 



keeping records at Chicago. The total 

 rainfall of 3.72 inches, while exceed- 

 ing the normal, fell mostly during the 

 second decade of the month. The sun 

 shone an average of 10.4 hours per day, 

 being seventy-six per cent of the pos- 

 sible number of hours. 



Various Notes. 



Some of the wholesalers who put in 

 the new automatic telephone have dis- 

 covered that, while they now are pay- 

 ing $7 per month, no more than two 

 or three of their customers ever use 

 this phone; that the old Bell phone 

 costs $10 per month and that in pro- 

 portion to service rendered the charge 

 is only" a fraction of the cost of the
