BOSTON. 



In last week's issue read "affright- 

 ed sun" for "soon" aiid refer to the 

 eclipse that took place upon that date. 



A hard week has passed as seen 

 from the salesman's ■^ve. Surely never 

 were goods so plentiful or sold at so 

 low a figure. Not a matter of price but 

 a question to get rid of the goods so 

 as to realize something for a lump 

 figure. 



Sulpho-Naphthol is a grand good 

 article for certain purposes, Mr. Gra- 

 velle, but it is not recommended as a 

 beverage even when taken by mistake 

 for cough medicine. And there is no 

 sport in the administration of divers 

 drugs and concoctions by the nearest 

 druggist who follows them up. or 

 rather down, by a muscular applica- 

 tion of the stomach pump. A man of 

 your age ought to be a better judge 

 of a bottle, anyway! 



And the Twombly Floral Co. has 

 closed its doors. H-m-m-m! 



You may want to know what I mean 

 by a "low figure." Well, best Brides 

 and Maids at 4 cents; best pinks not 

 quite drawing a whole cent and mixed 

 grades of both by the thousand on 

 the street at about $2.00 per 1,000. 

 How is that for an idea? B. T. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



Am glad to be able to report another 

 active week with the florists. All 

 available good stock is sought tor. 

 Roses grown around here have seen 

 their last days for this season, and we 

 have to depend on Chicago for daily 

 shipments. 



■ J. E. Miller, of Lawrence, Kan., is 

 sending us some very fine Beauties, 

 which retail at $4 per dozen. The qual- 

 ity of home grown carnations is phe- 

 nomenal for this time of the year; 

 such varieties as gcott, Alaska and 

 Daybreak showing the same vigorous 

 growth as three months ago and bring- 

 ing 50 cents per dozen at retail. Quan- 

 tities of long stemmed sweet peas are 

 now being picked from the garden and 

 used on all occasions. 



One of the swellest decorations of 

 the season was arranged by 'W. L. 

 Rock for a luncheon last Friday in 

 one of the large rooms at the Midland 

 hotel. The hostess conceived the unique 

 idea of making it a butterfly event. 

 Ribbon and sweet peas were arranged 

 to represent the butterfly and used for 

 center pieces, while one hundred live 

 ones were turned loose and made to 

 flutter about the room with the breeze 

 from the electric fans. The celling 

 and large mirrors were lavishly 

 draped with long sprays of Asparagus 

 Sprengeri, some sweet peas were used 

 on the mirrors, and here it was that 

 Kift's adjustable bouquet holders 

 served their purpose. "Willie" is a 

 man or original ideas and ably acquits 

 himself at anything he undertakes in 

 this line. 



The deaths of a few popular citizens 

 created an unusual demand for funeral 

 work. Never before were so many 

 handsome arrangements used at fu- 

 nerals here as those seen the past 

 week. Large flat bunches of lilies of 

 the valley, bunches of roses, wreaths 

 of sweet peas, of distinct colors, tied 

 with ribbon, were so skillfully ar- 

 ranged that there was no opportunity 

 for criticism. It is pleasing to note 

 an improvement in this particular and
