C. S. Clausen says the frost put an 

 end to his gladiolus season October 5, 

 somewhat earlier than usual, but twenty 

 •lays later than last year. The season 

 was late in starting, but has been the 

 most successful Mr. Clausen has had. 



L. R. Bohannon is showing a unique 

 window of fruits and flowers. Real 

 English fruit baskets are used, the ar- 

 rangements shown selling at from $3 up.

 are carried in stock; a separate pur- 

 chase is made to fill each order.

 door stock September 15 last season.

 stores have stopped pushing them. Tlic 

 reason, she believes, lies in unsatisfac- 

 tory keeping quality. Mrs. Samuclson 

 thinks that it is up to the growers to 

 study the keeping quality of their 

 flowers and that a grower who can 

 demonstrate that his flowers will keep
