NOVBUBBB 30, 1016. 



Frank, at Fairport, N. T., November 

 25 and 26. After' completing business 

 with Harry E. Bates, manager of the 

 local oflSce here, the visitors left for 

 Syracuse. 



Miss Ethel M. Foster, of George B. 

 Hart's office force, left for Binghamton, 

 N. Y., for a few days' vacation. 



Charles W. Curtis, of Irondequoit, is 

 ■cutting some excellent pompons. His 

 collection is large and includes many 

 new varieties. 



Cecil Lester, of George B. Hart's 

 store, left town November 20 on a busi- 

 ness trip. He expects to cover the east- 

 ern part of New York state and will be 

 gone about a month. 



Miss Gladys Bryson, formerly with 

 Fry, the Florist, now is bookkeeper at 

 the East Main street store of H. E. 

 Wilson. 



With the advent of real winter 

 weather the bulb season has been 

 checked and little is being done in 

 that line. The planting of boxwoods 

 and other ornamental winter shrubs is 

 well under way. H. J. H. 



KANSAS CITY. 



-The Market. 



Business last week was good and a 

 heavy Thanksgiving trade is looked 

 for. The glut of mums has receded 

 somewhat. The retailers report business 

 excellent. Social affairs have begun 

 and decorative orders are much in evi- 

 dence. The late-flowering mums, 

 Eaton, Chadwick and Frick, now are 

 in the market and in fine shape. There 

 still are some late pompons in the mar- 

 ket. Carnations are arriving in fine 

 shape and show a big improvement in 

 both stem and flower. White and yel- 

 low narcissi arrive in large quantities, 

 but they are cleaned up daily. Violets 

 and valley are plentiful and of good 

 quality. Violets have improved consid- 

 erably during the last two weeks and 

 better prices are obtained. Eoses 

 slackened up a little in supply last 

 week and those now arriving show an 

 improvement in the quality of flower. 

 Stevia is coming in heavily. Sweet 

 peas still are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Eric Frandscn, of Independence, Mo., 

 last week lost about 35,000 chrysanthe- 

 mum blooms. His mums were growing 

 in an old house and when the tempera- 

 ture dropped suddenly the plants were 

 frozen. It seems that bad luck strikes 

 this place almost every year. 



Jacob Tobler, proprietor of the 

 Bunker Hill Greenhouses, had a misfor- 

 tune last week, when a leak occurred 

 in the boiler. He suffered a loss of all 

 bis ferns and soft-wooded stock by the 

 gas and low temperature. 



E. T>. Ellsworth had the order for a 

 large decoration at the Country Club 

 last week. The decorations were quite 

 unusual, bay trees and boxwoods being 

 used with cut rOses. Over 700 chrys- 

 anthemums and a number of decorative 

 plants also were used. 



Mr. Drummond, of the Kansas City 

 Tobacco Products Co., reports that he 

 now is receiving orders from coast to 

 coast. Business greatly exceeds his ex- 

 pectations. 



A visit to the greenhouses of Adolph 

 Mohr found everything in good shape. 

 He has a fine house of cyclamens in 

 5-inch and 8-inch pots, which will ho 

 just right for the holidays. A batch
