Growers of Cut Flowers of 

 Cook County 



ATTENTION! 



DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR PRESENT WAY OF 

 MARKETING YOUR CUT AN IDEAL ONE? 



If not send your address to JLock Box 202, Chieafjo, and learn of a plan supported tiy some of Cook County's 

 best growers, whereby your entire cut can be handled at the actual cost of selling, without paying aiiy protit 

 to the middleuiau. The arrangement proposed is a mutual one, benefiting everybody alike. Good growers 



only are wanted, owning from 5,000 to 50,000 feet of glass. If you are such, .joiu u.s. 150,000 feel of glass was 

 tually pledged within a day. We want this tripled. 



KANSAS CITY. MO. 



The Exhibition. 



'•I'Jverything pertaining to the prog- 

 ress of the coming great flower .show is 

 working to the satisfaction of those in 

 charge of the arrangements," .said Di- 

 rector General Taggart last Monday. 

 The various committees have been ap- 

 point.ed and are made up of the lead- 

 ing business men of the city, who have 

 assumed their respective duties with the 

 enthusiasm and determination so char- 

 acteristic of the western man. The 

 premium list will be issued in a few 

 days and is to be absolutely free of 

 advertisements. The yellow mum will 

 be the official flower of the show. Sev- 

 eral hundred badges designed in the 

 shape of the chrysanthemum flower will 

 be worn as a novelty for advertising 

 the show and "Mum's the word" will 

 appear on the badges. 



An interesting feature of the show 

 will be a carnation contest. The red 

 carnation was the favorite flower of 

 the late President McKinley. In order 

 to perpetuate that fact in the floral an- 

 nals of the country, a special prize of 

 $100 has been ofl'ered by Mr. F. D. 

 Crabbs for the best red carnation plant 

 exhibited at the show, provided that it 

 be a new bloom and that it be named 

 the McKinley carnation. 



An effective way of keeping the mat- 

 ter before the public is the offering of 

 premiums to the downtown merchants 

 for the best decorated windows in floral 

 and electric displays, during the week 

 preceding the show. This plan is a 

 happy idea originating with Mr. Tag- 

 gart and the merchants are responding 

 enthusiastically. Premiums for the 

 window displays were solicited from the 

 flori.sts, and Arthur Newell, Samuel 

 Murray, W. L. Rock and G. M. Kellogg 

 each gave $50, Alfred Bronian $25, Miss 

 Dniley $25, and Mrs. E. Edgar $10. 



Business. 



Business is coming on very nicely. 

 Weather is quite Indian summer-like, 

 which is hastening the supply of roses. 

 No good violets in this market yet. 

 Mums are coming right along and are 

 quite popular with the patrons of the 

 horse show this week. 



E. S. Brown & Son are cutting some 

 fine five-foot stemmed Yellow Monarch. 

 Asparagus, smilax, and, in fact, all 

 green stock is decidedly scarce here this 

 fall. With the use of autumn foliage, 

 and flowers plentiful, the storekeepers 

 are able to make attractive window dis- 

 plays. H. J. M. 



Falmouth, Mass. — H. V. Lawrence 

 has added a new carnation house 21x100.
