During the last week the "star span- gled centennial" celebration was the chit'i attraction, to the utter disruption of Die local flower market. Little busi- ness outside of funeral work is being don-, although plenty of stock of all kini!s is available. Eoses of all varieties are ;ibundant and are becoming of bet- ter ijuality, but the demand is poor, ex- cept for whites, which sell fairly well.

Graham's car was artistically ar- ranged with red gladioli and asters and he received a valuable touring outfit for his efforts. Charles Hochstedt had his ear entirely covered with plumosus and outlined with red, white and blue asters, with a dove, composed of white asters, over the hood. George Lurssen also had a machine in line, well decorated with hydrangeas, asters and gladioli. Chris. Gregorius, of Pimlico, is sending some excellent asters to the
