arc not members slioiild not miss this oppoitunlty 

 to become a member at once. Come sis our quests 

 and let us demouBtrate to yon. You will surely 

 be convinced by the knowledge you will di'rive 

 therefrom and will be well repaid for the trip. 

 The nicotiiiK of lu-otlier florists from ;ill parts 

 of tlie United States and Canada, and the creat 

 trade exhibition that will surpass any iieretoforc 

 held — all tliis is an opportunity that a llorlst 

 sliould not let go by, as kccpinj; np with the 

 times is as important as any part of our liusiness. 

 Any furtlier information, as well as any mem- 

 bersliii) blanks applied for, will l)e gladly fur- 

 nislied. Jt is hoped tliat we may meet a good 

 sized party, August lit, when our New Yoik Flo- 

 rists' Club special leaves the depot. F. II. 

 Triiendly, who is a past master, and his com- 

 mittee, who liave charge of the iirraiifiemcnts en 

 route, have left nothing ntidone to make this tlie 

 most pleasant of all convention trips from New 

 York city. 



MR. FOLEY AND FRIEND. 



The aceornpaiiyinf> illustration is from 

 :i snapshot by 6. J{. Eckhart, of Min- 

 rioapolis, at the recent Minnesota State 

 Florists' Association's picnic. No doubt 

 a great number will recognize the gen- 

 tleman on the right as Phili{> Foley, 

 president of the Chicago Florists' Club. 

 Mr. Foley looks small beside the other 

 gentleman in the picture, who is Mr. 

 Bush, of Minneapolis, who has green- 

 houses on Lyndale avenue, south. Mr. 

 Bush is about live feet six inches in 

 height and weighs about 120 pounds, 

 against nearly 350 for the Chicago man. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



The Market. 



I 



Trade has been somewhat better in 

 the last week or so, as there have been 

 several funerals that have used up quite 

 a bunch of stock, and at times it was 

 hard to get anything suitable. Carna- 

 tions are scarce, as most of the old stock 

 has been thrown out and little from the 

 new is coming in. Koses have been in 

 fair demand, with the supj)ly about 

 equal to the call. Beauties have been 

 moving slowly, but are not in large 

 supply. 



Gladioli are holding full sway and a 

 great many are disposed of, especially 

 in America and other popular varieties. 

 Valley has been in fair deiMaiid, with 

 the supply limited. There is not much 

 of a variety of stock at present. Asters 

 are coming some better, but are still far 

 from what they should be. However, 

 we are all in hopes the later ones will 

 he of better quality.

DAYTON, O. 



The Market. 



.\(i inipr(p\('ment in trade could be 

 noticed last week. It's the same old 

 story; funeral work is the only thing 

 doing to cr(>ate a demand, which con- 

 sumes the entire supply of roses and 

 carnations, which supply is mighty 

 scarce. (iiganteum and rubrum lilies 

 are more i)lentiful and sell quite well, 

 while prices on them hold u|) well. The 

 demand for smiliix was good last week, 

 but it was hard to get. .Asters are 

 ■ •(inimenciiig to come in more hea\ilv.
