The weather last week, except Fri- day, was ideal; garden flowers every- where were at their best and, although business was quiet, there was not the "absolutely nothing doing" atmos- phere of the extremely warm week preceding. There was a large amount of funeral work and some little enter- taining. Various Notes. Friday's terrific storm raised" havoc all over the city, doing about $50,000 damage. An immense plate glass, win- dow in front of the flower department in the new store of the E. M. Chap- man-Basting Co. blew out, as well as several others in the downtown dis- trict. The Hiawatha Gardens Co. had 200 lights broken at their University and Bedford avenue place. The Minne- apolis Floral Co. had 1,000 lights broken by hail, but stock was not at all damaged. The Lakewood Cemetery Greenhouses did not suffer to any ex- tent from the storm, but great harm was done throughout the cemetery, es- peciallv near Lake Harriet, about 150 trees being blown down in that section. At O. H. Carlson's 400 lights were broken and outside stock was badly damaged, the storm seeming to strike this vicinity with great force. Mr Carlson's troubles came in bunches last week. Wednesday night, July 10, one of his barns burned, together with two horses, one cow, robes, blankets, har- ness, etc.; in fact, nothing was saved. This news is all awaiting Mr. Carlson on his arrival from abroad, where, with his family, he has been visiting for a couple of months. As he will sail soon, it was decided not to spoil his return trip with unpleasant news. Hans Eosacker, in the same vicinity as the Carlson greenhouses, had about 200 lights broken in Friday's storm, and some little damage to outside stock. Miss Scanlon, bookkeeper for the Minneapolis Floral Co., is on her vaca- ^^Thornas Hall has left for Portland, Ore., to visit his sister. William Desmond, of the L. b. Donald
