 outfit.

 to set up. You will get just what you need and there will be 

 no experiments. No trouble. No extra expense of any kind.

The Market. 



The month of June was an exception- 

 ally good one, and everyone seems much 

 pleased with the business done. The 

 general conditions at present are only 

 fair, as the market is glutted with poor 

 stock. Some good stock is seen and 

 sells- readily. Carnations are a disap- 

 pointment to all, but roses are some- 

 what better. Beauties still reign su- 

 preme. Valley has -gone, but sweet peas 

 are here in multitudes. 



The weather here is becoming almost 

 unbearable, but frequent rains help 

 some. It is to be hoped that we will 

 be spared the unmerciful drouth of last 

 summer. So far the rains have made 

 outdoor stock decidedly plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The Alpha Floral Co. is receiving 

 many inquiries regarding the new de- 

 sign book that is now in the hands of 

 Daniel Long & Co., publishers, of Buf- 

 falo, N. Y. The book was made up by 

 Mr. Elberfield, with the assistance of 

 Kent Atkin. 



The W, L. Kock Flower Co. has just 

 completed its permanent summer win- 

 dow, which is indeed a beautiful one. 

 An old weather-beaten water mill forms 

 the central point of interest, backed by 

 an arrangement of cocos palms, varie- 

 gated japonicas, Kentucky blue grass, 

 bays, and boxwoods, the whole giving 

 an appearance of a deep setting, with a 

 mountain in the distance. In front of 

 the mill are two large tanks which form 

 twin lakes. Upon the surface float 

 beautiful water lilies, of night and day 

 blooming varieties, and to give a real- 

 istic appearance, newly hatched duck- 

 lings run over a broad stretch of moss 

 between the window and the lakes. 

 This window covers an area of 560 

 square feet, and the largy seamless 

 plate mirrors that are on the side wall 

 double the effect. Last but not least 

 is the indirect lighting system, that 

 illuminates the window at night. This 

 is arranged to resemble a moonlit land- 

 scape. This decoration was designed 

 and executed by Miller Carter, assisted 

 by William Miller.
