 F. T. D. bv using a tag reading, "This 

 Order Is Executed Under the F. T. D. 

 System. Ask Bailey & Sons Co. About 

 It," for all F. T. D. orders. Numbers 

 of inquiries are bringing fine results. 



The Huddart Floral Co. recently made 

 an elaborate rose casket cover for a no- 

 table funeral. 



The Lambourne Floral Co. is display- 

 ing a fine assortment of artificial bou- 

 quets in its window. 



The B. C. Morris Floral Co. reports 

 out-of-town business is keeping its force 

 busy day and night. 



Bailey & Sons Co. also has been keep- 

 ing its force at work day and night. 

 Among numerous floral pieces the most 

 notable one was a huge broken column 

 made of outdoor chrysanthemums and 

 Countess of Lonsdale dahlias, with gar- 

 lands of cattleyas entwined. It was 

 one of the finest floral pieces ever exe- 

 cuted in this citj'. 



G. K. Uno, of Bailey & Sons Co., has 

 bought a 6-acre farm in a suburb, where 

 he and his brothers intend to grow nurs- 

 ery stock and cut flowers. G. K. U.

The Market. 



Weather conditions during the last 

 week favored the florists greatly. The 

 demand for funeral flowers has been 

 the heaviest on record. 



Dahlias have been exceptionally fine. 

 Funeral wreaths have been made of 

 nothing but dahlias and garden flowers. 

 If there had been no garden flowers, 

 many orders could not have been 

 handled. Prices arc now more normal 

 and stock more plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Carnations are backward tliis year. 

 Last year a big crop was cut at this 

 time by the Summerfiold Floral Co., but 

 this year this concern has none to offer 

 yet. Mums are just coming, however, 

 and soon will be in large supply. 



The J. W. Stokes Floral Co. last weok 

 made two casket covers in one day, with 

 over 100 other jtieces. It had a large 

 force of extra help to handle the work. 



J. W. S. 



Kansas City, Mo. — The first success- 

 fully field-grown hybrid tea roses pro- 

 duced in Missouri are said to have been 

 grown in the nursery of James S. Pep- 

 per, known as Pepper's Roses, during 

 the season just past. These roses came 

 through in splendid condition in spite 

 of the fact that there was a severe 

 drought. Thirty-three varieties were 

 grown, for the most part cut flower 

 sorts, and, while the stems were not 

 long, they sold readily by the thou- 

 sand to the trade.
