COUNCIL BLUFFS, lA. 



During a recent visit to Council 

 Bluffs I was mucti attracted by the 

 Ijeautiful stores of J. F. Wilcox and Mc- 

 Pherson & Reed, which are located on 

 the most prominent street of the city. 

 After visiting the stores, which are a 

 pride to the owners as well as to the 

 city, we took a stroll to the green- 

 houses. Both establishments are close 

 together and well situated for green- 

 house purposes. Stopping at Mr. Wil- 

 cox's houses first, I must say his place 

 is a model florist establishment. His 

 range of new houses are all filled with 

 the leading varieties of roses and car- 

 nations, and are in as good a condition 

 as I have ever seen, especially his 

 American Beauties, which are a pride 

 to the owner as well as to his help. 



I next visited the houses of McPher- 

 son & Reed, where I found their ele- 

 gant place in perfect condition. Their 

 stock shows up in excellent shape, 

 their Meteors being especially fine. 

 Also an elegant bunch of Lilium Har- 

 risii and callas. Both parties were very 

 much pleased with their holiday trade, 

 and look for a big increase in business 

 this season on account of the Trans- 

 Mississippi Fair. J. J. H.

Trade iu cut flowers the past two 

 weeks has been very good, especially 

 so in funeral work, all having lots to 

 do. The man with glasses seems to 

 have lost his hold. Stock is very 

 scarce, especially American Beauty. 



Plant trade is exceedingly good, aza- 

 leas, cyclamens and freesia going very 

 nicely with now and then a palm and 

 an araucaria. 



The new license ordinance, taxing 

 greenhouses $25 a year, is going to be 

 defeated If possible. A few of the 

 craft here are well up in politics and 

 those headed by E. F. Brown (who 

 may run for alderman himself in the 

 spring election) are getting an ordi- 

 nance into the council to save us each 

 ?25, and we all live in hopes. 



Geo. M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, in 

 town for the first time in six weeks, re- 

 ports demand far in excess of supply.
