The Market. 



"Everything sold but the linoleum, 

 and that could have been sold had there 

 been flowers on it," is an apt descrip- 

 tion of this year's Easter trade, given 

 in the words of a local florist. 



Everybody cleaned up, retailers as 

 well as wholesalers. There never was 

 such an Easter as this. It was unusual 

 in a number of ways. Lilies were not 

 plentiful, except in one section of the 

 city, but instead of losing sales be- 

 cause they had no lilies, florists sold 

 anything and everything in plants and 

 cut flowers. The sale of corsages was 

 extraordinarily good. 



The few lilies that were in evidence 

 sold at retail prices, bringing 50 to 75 

 cents a bloom. Azaleas were few, but 

 of good quality. There was a wealth of 

 hydrangeas, ramblers, white and yellow 

 callas, and a variety of other plants. 



The downtown stores were cleaned 

 up on stock Saturday afternoon. 



Prices were moderate, compared with 

 Christmas, and this gave persons in 

 moderate circumstances a chance to buy. 



Various Notes. 



All this week the trucks of the W. L. 

 Koek Flower Co. bore big white ban- 

 ners with the words, "Finish the Job — 

 Buy Bonds," in red letters. W. L. 

 Bock is one of the active workers in 

 the Victory loan campaign. Alpha El- 

 berfield also is an enthusiastic worker. 



Albert Edward Austin, 30 years old, 

 son of J. Austin, florist, died of pneu- 

 monia Saturday evening, April 19. The 

 young man had been ill, but seemed to 

 be getting better, and was up and around 

 when he suffered a relapse. Funeral 

 services were held April 23. Besides 

 his father, Mr. Austin is survived by 

 a brother, Arthur, who is now on his 

 way home from France. 



Among the visitors in the city this 

 week were: H. T. Smith, of the Pine- 

 hurst Gardens Co., Pleasant Hill, 

 Mo.; Leonard Coen, Lexington, Mo., 

 and J. C. Steinhauser, Pittsburg, Kan. 



W. Tredup, of the A. L. Bandall Co., 

 Chicago, called on the local trade last 

 week. 



Eussell P. Hardy, who was a lieu- 

 tenant in the 27th Division, 104th Field 

 Artillery, and who was in France a year, 

 has returned home, having been re- 

 leased from service. He is a son of Mrs. 

 K. Hardy, of the Hardy & Bernard Flo- 

 ral Co., Kansas City, Kan. J. E. K.
