The loss siiiil about last wook tlio 

 better, liocoipts were lar^'o ami, c-oii 

 sidoriiig tlio time of tlif year, were of 

 a good a\»'ra^:c (jiiality. There was. 

 liowever, alis(!lutel_v no business to take 

 up any consiilerablo part of the stock. 



Roses are the only flow(>rs of imjjor- 

 tanee that are good sellers. an<l they are 

 not realizing anything like a fair jirice. 

 Beauties sell well. Tlie sooner carna- 

 tions are out of the market the better 

 it will be. They come in soft, and 

 when they sell it is only at a sacrifice. 

 Gladioli are moving well and are one 

 of the redeeming features of the week's 

 business. The other blooms, generally, 

 are not moving at all. Green goods 

 business is fair. 



Various Notes.

 Mrs. Olinger's sisters, the Misses Weii- 

 and, of Evanston, 111., leave for home 



this week. The party will stop at New 

 Castle, before going on to Chicago, to 

 see Mr. Olinger's plant. 



Win. .Mur)diy is preparing for his an- 

 imal trip to the northern lakes. He 

 says it lias been an excellent season. 



C. K. Critchell has been finding such 

 a strong <lemand for green galax that 

 he is almost cleaneij out. He has been 

 receiving early asters. 



H. P. Critchell slipped as he was de- 

 scending the steps from his porch and 

 sustained a sprained arm.

The Florists' Club held its annual 

 m(>eting July S. The following were 

 (dect(^d as ofTicers for the ensuing year: 

 PresidtMit, Gus Adrian; vice-president, 

 .las. Allen; s(>cretary, Alex Ostendarp; 

 treasurer, Ed. Porter; trustee, A. C. 

 Hickman. .Ir. Some interesting and in- 



structive papers were read by O. H. 

 Hoffmeister, Herbert Greensmith, A. C. 

 Hickman, Jr., and Ed. Schuman. All 

 pertained to publicity and all showed 

 the writers had analyzed their subject 

 carefully. Strange to relate, there was 

 no criticism or comment by any of the 

 members j)resent. Kesolutions of regret 

 were adopted on the death of Wm. R. 

 Smith, of Washington. C. H. H.

While the temperatures have been 

 lower, fortunately, than a year ago, the 

 last week has been quite hot enough 

 to satisfy the cravings of any who
