person will be at liberty to pack his 

 fruit in the old way, or as he may de- 

 sire, 80 long as he does not brand or 

 mark it 'U. S, standard,' etc. 



"A salient feature of the bill is the 

 following proviso concerning the grade 

 of the apples: 



" 'Apples of one variety, which are 

 well-grown specimens, hand-picked, of 

 good color for the variety, normal 

 shape, practically free from insect and 

 fungus injury, bruises and other de- 

 fects, except such as are necessarily 

 caused in the operation of packing, or 

 apples of one variety which are not 

 more than ten percentum below the 

 foregoing specifications, shall be " U. S. 

 standard size A," if the minimum size 

 of the apples is two and one-half inches 

 in transverse diameter; or "U. S. 

 standard size B," if the minimum size 

 of the apples is two and one-fourth 

 inches in transverse diameter; or "U. 

 S. standard size C," if the minimum 

 size of the apples is two inches in 

 transverse diameter.' " 



DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



Flowers for weddings and funerals 

 are still in splendid demand. Perhaps 

 the demand is felt more, as stock in 

 the rose and carnation line is becoming 

 scarce, due to replanting operations. 



Much of the demand for the June 

 weddings runs to lily of the valley and 

 sweet peas, on which the supply is good, 

 and quality fine. Longiflorums are 

 somewhat scarce just now, but gladioli 

 are plentiful and fine in quality and 

 help to fill the bill in many places 

 when lilies are wanted. Auratum 

 lilies are in good crop, and are easily 

 disposed of for funeral work. 



Carnation plants in the field look 

 promising, as the weather conditions 

 have been quite favorable for their 



progress. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Elizabeth Young reports that 

 the coming week will be a busy wed- 

 ding week for her. 



Mr. and Mrs. George Bartholomew 

 and daughter, Bessie, enjoyed chicken 

 dinner at the home of Mr. land Mrs. 

 J, I. Schaefer June 23. Mr. Schaefer is 

 the proprietor of the Mad Eiver 

 Greenhouses, which are situated about 

 four miles north of Dayton on the Troy 

 pike. While Mr. Schaefer embarked 

 in the florist business at a mature age, 

 he is making a great success of it and 

 has quite an extensive plant, with all 

 modern improvements. His principal 

 crops at the present time are sweet peas 

 and cucumbers. R. A. L.
