We have been having bad weather, good vyeather, all kinds of weather, including a Decoration day trade that was immense. A heavy demand was anticipated and the supply was the largest in years, but sold out clean. Business in cut flowers is now dull, quan- tities of carnations and roses going to w^aste. Lilies are about over and what there are go slowly at $1 50 per dozen. A Chicago Greek has commenced opera- tions at the curbstone in the downtown district and sweet peas are being peddled from house to house at 5 cents per bunch. The bedding out season is now at its height and the trade in hanging baskets and boxes is much larger than last year. Otto Baumann, of Manistee; Frank A. Goecke, of the Petoskey Floral Company, and J. N. Burroughs, of Hastings, Mich , were recent visitors. Mr. Burroughs is building a new greenhouse and was look- ing for a boiler. B. E. Wadsworth, of Toronto, Canada, has taken charge of Crabb & Hunter's establishment as foreman. G. F. C. Wbol^ale flower/arKgfe Cu«oiNNATi, June T.
