A VISIT TO THE BUSY ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EVENDEN BEOTHEHS.—GOOD STOCK THE EULE. The consensus of opinion is that despite the adverse conditions, generally conceded to have a detrimental eiifect on business, namely the presidential cam- paign and the strike in the Pennsylvania coal regions, business will go on undis- turbed. This is most gratifying, indeed, and goes to prove that the florists as a body are optimists. If further proof be required as to the roseate views held by the florists, one need only point to the numerous improvements and additional buildings to be seen almost everywhere. Evenden Bros, have just completed an additional house covering 50x155, tvro of the same dimensions having been built last summer. It is needless to add that with improved facilities their carnations, of which they make a specialty, will be of an improved order. Their field plants are alt that could possibly be desired, clean, vigorous and healthy. It is note- worthy that none of the novelties, such as Mrs. Lawson, The Marquis, Ethel Crocker or Peru has suffered a setback of any kind. They seem to have taken hold of the Williamsport soil fiom the start and made the most of it. Evenden Bros, are having good success with roses, their Brides, Bridesmaids, Perles and Meteors showing up splendidly even at this early season. Nor do they take second place in violets, while their bulbous stock, as a rule, compares most favorably with the best grown any- where. W. J. Evenden, who left on August 8 for Paris, gives glowing descriptions of the great lair, and especially of the horti- cultural and floricultural departments. He intends visiting England, Germany and Belgium before his return home. NOMIS. FINE, FIELD-CROWN Lizzie McOowan <^^"S Plants Cash With G. W. WBATHBBBT, Chillicotlie, Missouri.
