gusta and America were the leading va- 

 rieties and excellent stock could be had. 

 Sweet peas were also in good supply, 

 but of the good stock there was hardly 

 any surplus and the price held steadv. 

 <Jattleyas came in more freely and while 

 the demand was not especially heavy in 

 these a good price was demanded and 

 obtained by the wholesalers. The sup- 

 ply is on the increase and the blooms 

 appear to be of high grade and should 

 move even more freely during the next 

 week or two. Valley has maintained 

 its usual July pace and, with no strong 

 demand, the supply has moved along in 

 a satisfying manner. Peonies, along 

 with the carnations, have made but lit- 

 tle headway during the last ten days 

 and before long will pass into history 

 for the time. Some excellent stock in 

 Easter and auratum lilies was in evi- 

 dence and the market appeared to pick 

 up on these, but not to any great de- 



gree. Other items were in light request. 



Greens continued to hold firm for the 

 most part. 



Various Notes. 



The Chicago market was shocked this 

 week by the news of the tragic death 

 of Lambert Mann, son of Mathias 

 Mann, of Zech & Mann. It was caused 

 by drinking a nicotine extract used 

 for fumigating. The accident took 

 place the evening of July 29, shortly 

 after the supper hour, when Lambert, 

 a bright little fellow of 8 years, came 

 upon a bottle that had at one time 

 contained root beer but had since been 

 filled with the nicotine extract. Not 

 aware of the contents of the bottle, 

 or the danger that lurked therein, a-nd 

 supposing that it was the usual bev- 

 erage that he had been accustomed to 

 seeing around the house, the lad placed 

 the bottle to his lips and, without 

 waiting to taste or smell of the fiuid. 



swallowed a good portion. Crying out 

 to his mother, he fell into Mrs. Mann's 

 arms and expired before she could 

 either lend or call assistance. The 

 same kind of an accident occurred 

 at the Bassett & Washburn plant last 

 year. The funeral was held July 31 

 from St. Gregory's church and burial 

 took place at St. Henry's cemetery. 



Arthur Newell and wife, of Kansas 

 City, were the guests of A. L. Vaughan 

 July 30, on their way to Europe for a 

 two months' trip. When they took 

 their places in the train for New York 

 they found E. M. Ward, the bulb man, 

 in the next section, on his way to 

 New York from Japan. 



The first car went over Bassett & 

 Washburn's new railroad side track_ 

 July 29, when a flat carrying a new 

 Kewanee boiler was hauled to the site 

 of the new greenhouse plant. Thirty 

 cars of supplies were waiting to be
