KANSAS QTY. MO. 



Various Items. 



The last week of October was one of 

 •■reat activity among tlie florists and, in- 

 deed, flie entire month lias been a very 

 satisfactory one to all. Weddings and 

 other social events have been numerons 

 and lavish were some of the decorations 

 put xij) for the occasions. The Hunifeld 

 Floral Co. and Samuel JInrray bandied 

 two of the principal ones, which called 

 for a large amount of choice material. 



The annual meeting of the Street Kail- 

 way association, a horse show and a fat 

 cattle show also created quite a demand 

 for flowers, several banquets being given 

 in honor of visitors and owners of prize- 

 takers. The spacious dining room at the 

 Midland Hotel was skilfully decorated 

 by Miss Jennie Murray, on Oct. 2.)tli. 

 for the banquet given the visiting stock 

 men. 



For the tirst time in the history ni tlie 

 (lower trade here we are now luiviiig an 

 (iverjiroduction of roses, which may be 

 attributed to two causes, the superior 

 growth of the plants and the bright sum- 

 mer-like weather. 



The best stock can be bought for J 

 and :i cents: other grades go at any old 

 price. The American Bea\ity is the fa- 

 vorite rose here at present and is being 

 sold in great quantities. Carnations are 

 still scarce and retail at oO cents per 

 doz. ; fancy varieties bring To cents. 

 Mums ai-e grown more extensively this 

 year than formerly. The best and earli- 

 est of home production were grown by 

 R. S. Brown & Son and retail at $2. .50 

 per doz. This firm is now cutting a splen- 

 did crop of Jlaids, Brides and Woottonsi 

 and are better able now than lieretoforo 

 to supply their increasing trade. With 

 roses and mums plenty, the florists are 

 able to make their windows attractive 

 and at very little expense.

 Mr. Theron Parker. 



Brooklyn. N. Y. 

 Dear Sir:— Your Model Carna- 

 tion Support is all right in every 

 way. and will no doubt be con- 

 sidered as necessary as good 

 plants with growers when better 

 Known. I consider it the best in 

 the market, and if your other 

 Specialties are as good, they 

 should make another addition to 

 the money makers of 1900. 

 Very respectfully, 



Albert M. Herr.
