RUTHERFORD, N. J» 



KANSAS CITY. 



The week following the flower show 

 proved a very dvUl one, but it might 

 have been worse. Chrysanthemums were 

 being held back for Thanksgiving day, 

 and this helped the sales in other lines. 

 Funeral work used many flowers, Newell 

 having had a heavy run of this, and 

 turned out some beautiful pieces. Rock 

 had the decorations for the Schley ban- 

 quet, giving by the Commercial Club to 

 Admiral Schley, which was a very elab- 

 orate affair. 



The Missouri-Kansans football game 

 cut a big swath in the Thanksgiving 

 business, especially yellow (Missouri's 

 colors), and thousands of these were 

 sold. The general business, as reported 

 by the leading florists, is as follows: 

 Newell did a heavy business in mums, 

 having sold to exceed 800 Thanksgiving 

 day, with a big increase over former 

 years in regular lines. Rock's sales in- 

 creased 25 per cent over last year in 

 regular lines, but not quite so good on 

 mums, the quality not being up to last 

 year. Murray reports about 25 per cent 

 increase, with few mums handled, while 

 Barbe says 50 per cent. Barbe has been 

 building this year. 



Lawrence Schwager, who had charge 

 of Mr. Newell's Walnut street store for 

 several years, has opened for business on 

 his own account at 120" Grand avenue, 

 with a neat store; and has been doing 

 a good business from the start. Law- 

 rence has plenty of ability and will 

 make his new venture a success. 



The Alpha Floral Co. have opened at 

 802 Walnut street. 



Fred Weber has resigned as manager 

 for Geo. JI. Kellogg at their Kansas 

 Citv house. John H. Veset. 



KALAMAZOO, MICH. 



During the last month cloudy weather 

 prevailed, which considerably shortened 

 the cuts of both roses and carnations 

 and helped to sustain prices. Mums 

 were practically over with a week be- 

 fore Thanksgiving and only the dregs 

 remained to grace that festival. 



The demand for roses and carnations 

 at Thanksgiving was large and good 

 prices were obtained. Most of the grow- 

 ers are just entering on their winter cut, 

 and though the cut was big it is nothing 

 to what they anticipate three weeks 

 from now. Green, such as smilax, as- 

 paragus and adiantum was abundant and 

 had a fair demand. 



Comparing it with last year the vol- 

 ume of trade was greater and the de- 

 mand more lively. Reports of prospects 

 from all around are good, and we are all 

 thankful as we ought to be. R.

 Dear Sir : I have used your Wire 

 Carnation Supports for the last two 

 years, in all about 13,U0U. They fill 

 the bill in every particular. Nothing 

 could be more satisfactory, and it 

 would give me a great deal of pleas- 

 ure if I can bespeak a good word for 

 you to the trade, and you are at lib- 

 erty to refer to me at any time. 

 Yours very truly, 



A. L. Thorne.

 Dear Sir— After using your Model 

 carnation support in two of our 

 houses the past winter we have come 

 to the conclusion that it is perfectly 

 adapted to supporting camatioD 

 plants and shall use thera on all our 

 plants the coming season. We were 

 much pleased with the simplicity, strength and neat ap- 

 pearance of the support. Yours truly,
