A Wind Storm. 



July was ushered in witli a hot, 

 dry spell, which culminated in a cy- 

 clone on the morning of July 13, doing 

 about $150,000 worth of damage, up- 

 rooting trees, blowing in windows, 

 blowing down chimneys, taking the root 

 off the grand stand of the ball park 

 and carrying it over into the market, 

 400 feet off, smashing and overturn- 

 ing fruit wagons, automobiles, etc. 

 There was a stampede of market wag- 

 ons, and several horses were killed. 

 Seventeen people were hurt and sent 

 to the hospital; two of them may die. 

 The city greenhouses, at John Ball 

 park, were riddled; the large brick 

 chimney was blown down and havoc 

 reigned. No other greenhouses were 

 touched, though they had a narrow 

 escape, as the velocity of the wind was 

 tremendous. 



Since then the weather has been 

 cooler and we have had occasional 

 showers, which have been quite bene- 

 ficial to field crops. Carnations are 

 now growing finely; so are violets, 

 though report has it that some of the 

 florists have not extra good luck with 

 them outdoors; one firmiAibB them in- 

 side in pots, which, after all, is the 

 best and safest way. All are busy 

 benching mums and carnations. As yet, 

 no building is in progress. 

 dub Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held a meeting 

 at Crabb & Hunter's flower store on 

 Thursday evening, July 18, to arrange 

 for a picnic and to talk business. 



Eobert Newcomb, of Chicago, invited 

 the club to hold its picnic in Chicago 

 at the convention. It was decided 

 to go in a body and get together as 

 many outside florists, to join with the 

 club, as possible. 



A committee, consisting of Eli 

 Cross, Geo. F. Crabb and Mr. Frey- 

 ling, was appointed to bring in a re- 

 port on prices as they exist, with what- 

 ever recommendations might be deemed 

 advisable to raise them to a profitable 

 basis. All are agreed that the prices 

 for filling porch boxes, baskets, vases, 

 etc., are so low as to be unprofitable; 

 so a remedy is sought. 



The next club meeting will be held 

 at Henry Smith's, August 15.
