Various Notes. 



While New York and Chicago are 

 sweltering in 90 degrees of heat, we, 

 here in this prohiijition state, can go 

 them 10 degrees better. The mercury 

 registered 100 degrees in the shade for 

 three days last weelv and the dispens- 

 ers of soft drinl;s were the busiest peo- 

 ple in town. With this high tempera- 

 ture the rate of mortality usually in- 

 creases, and, as Mr. .James Hayes, our 

 leading florist, remarked, that during 

 his fifteen years' • residence here he 

 never rememljered so many funerals 

 and weddings in one month as oc- 

 curred in the past month; everything 

 from a sprig of smilax to a sunflower 

 found a ready sale. 



Mr. Hayes owns about 8,000 feet of 

 glass and his young rose stock looks 

 very promising. He is thinking of 

 adding another house this summer. 

 Calling in at his down-town store, we 

 found Mrs. Hayes arranging some 

 swell bouquets for a wedding, to be 

 finished off with fancy ribbons. Mr. 

 Hayes admits that he is a lucky man 

 in having such an able assistant, and 

 Mrs. Hayes is as affable as she is 

 talented. 



Another good business woman is 

 Mrs. M. E. Hollcraft, who runs a store 

 on West Sixth street, and is gradually 

 building up a good trade. Otie day last 

 week she had orders for five large de- 

 signs, and says that hunting up good 

 flowers is more tiring than the arrang- 

 ing of the work. 



Two months ago J. E. Rodman 

 dumped some calla plants on an old 

 smilax bed, which soon commenced to 

 make new growth, and he is now cut- 

 ting some fine blooms, with prospects 

 good for an all-summer crop. He has 

 promised us all particulars on final re- 

 sults. Judging from the quality of 

 stock shipped into Topeka, he says 

 there are some growers who must have 

 a poor estimation of the business abil- 

 ity of the florists here. 



Hiram Hulse: Yes, my boy, we have 

 had a good season, and 1 tell you some 

 of us needed it, too. .H. J. M.
