E. S. OSBOENE, well known nursery- 

 man, is comptroller of the city of Roches- 

 ter, N. Y. 



Some of the evergreen specialists have 

 had a rather unsatisfactory season, for 

 reasons unexplained. 



The Lebanon Nursery Co., Lebanon, 

 O., has leased a store room in Cincinnati, 

 at 213 Fourth avenue, east. 



About the only way to get capable 

 assistants in the nursery and landscape 

 is to catch them young and train them. 



John Bentel has purchased some land 

 at Stuart, Fla., and will establish a 

 nursery there, handling a general line of 

 flowering plants, shrubs and ornamental 

 trees. 



The St. Andrew's Bay Nursery & 

 Orchard Co. has been incorporated at 

 Wilmington, Del., for the purpose of 

 cultivating fruits, vegetables and cereals. 

 The capital stock is $250,000. 



The Connecticut Valley Orchard Co. 

 has been incorporated at Westminster, 

 Vt., to deal in real estate, fruits, farm 

 products, nursery stock and fertilizers. 

 The capital stock is $50,000, divided into 

 500 shares. 



J. F. Cantwell, who for the last 

 twenty years has successfully conducted 

 a nursery business at Belmont, la., has 

 sold his nursery stock and gone to Min- 

 neapolis, Minn., where he has accepted a 

 position in the same line of trade. 



At the annual election of directors of 

 the Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., 

 held recently in the company's oflSce at 

 Louisiana, Mo., the following were 

 elected: Ed. W. Stark, L. C. Stark, 

 Eugene Duncan and W. P. Stark. E. W. 

 Stark was elected president, L. C. Stark 

 vice-president, Eugene Duncan treasurer, 

 Tom W. Stark secretary, and Paul C. 

 Stark assistant secretary and treasurer. 



Those whose business it is to keep in 

 touch with the apple industry predict a 

 record crop this year, probably 50,000,- 

 000 barrels as against 30,000,000 barrels 

 last year. It is said there is no pro- 

 ducing district in the United States that 

 indicates anything like failure. Prom- 

 ises are from good to record breaking 

 everywhere. Any district that does not 

 show up well is in a section that never 

 has been important as apple producing 

 territory.

NAME OF SHBUB. 



We are sending under separate cover 

 a branch of a shrub brought to us. Can 

 you tell us what it is? It looks to us 

 like a variety of the flowering currant.

The foliage was rotten on receipt, 

 but it is evidently a Stephanandra, 

 probably S. flexuosa. C. W.

The Market. 



Business is of the usual summer kind; 

 with the ending of the month of June, 

 the busy days came to an abrupt end. 

 Of course there is some funeral work, 

 but the rush is over for a time and the 

 next two months will flnd the demand 

 rather light. Spring was good this 

 year, better, in fact, than for many 

 years. Bedding work was far above 

 the usual volume and the florists have 

 no chance to kick on the weather that 

 has favored this section during the 

 months since Easter. Everyone has 

 been on the run from morning until 

 night and the present slack conditions 

 should bring forth no objections. Wed- 

 ding business during May and June was 

 excellent, a number of socially promi- 

 nent people being married. Other ac- 

 tivities along social lines brought out 

 other business and all told it was an 

 extraordinarily busy month that closed 

 with the start of the hot weather. 



Stock still is in fair condition and 

 good flowers can be had to supply what 

 demand there is. Roses are plentiful 

 and carnations show up to fair advan- 

 tage, and, while peonies have the call, 

 there are large numbers of carnations
