KANSAS CITY NOTES. 



[Concluded from page 89.] 



T. J. Cane is able to be out after two 

 weeks' illness. 



Charles Thomas left for Chicago Sun- 

 day uight, October 19. 



Mrs. T. A. Moseley, Kansas City, 

 Kan., has had a number of weddings 

 lately. This neighboring city is boom- 

 ing in a business way. Property values 

 arc increasing and it is impossible to 

 find a store for rent or lease on Minne- 

 Bota avenue. 



Mrs. Maud Everett, of Pawhuska, 

 Okla., bought a new Buick while in 

 Kansas City, a few days ago, and drove 

 the car home. She was accompanied 

 by Mrs. T. J. Noll, who will spend a 

 few days in Pawhuska. 



The greenhouses of the Longview 

 Floral Co. are cutting some good chrys- 

 anthemums. T. J. Noll began cutting 

 chrysanthemums October 17. 



Henry Kusik & Co. will have the en- 

 tire output of John Stevens' green- 

 . houses this season. Mr. Stevens special- 

 izes in carnations and chrysanthemums. 



Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thomas motored 

 to Pleasant Hill Sunday, October 12. 



Samuel Murray had the decorations 

 for the fiftieth anniversary of Eural 

 Lodge at Shrine Hall, October 11. The 

 occasion was observed with an enter- 

 tainment and dance. The decorations 

 were on an elaborate scale. Quantities 

 of smilax, palms and bay trees were 

 used, as well as cut flowers. Each of the 

 women guests was presented with a 

 corsage of Bussell roses. 



The Pinehurst Floral Co. is cutting 

 mums every day, but has not half 

 enough to supply the demand. This 

 firm is arranging to add 2,500 feet of 

 glass to the pot plant section of the 

 greenhouses at Pleasant Hill. William 

 Day, who was put in charge of this 

 section several months ago, is one of 

 the best in his line in the country. 



In addition to considerable other out- 

 side stock, the Rosery had about 1,000 

 gladiolus bulbs this summer, from which 

 good results were obtained. Augusta 

 proved an especially satisfactory flower 

 for funeral orders and was much used. 

 J. E. K. 



Manitowoc, Wis.— The range which 

 the Madson Send Co. is building will be 

 managed by 8. H. Long, formerly of 

 Sycamore, III.

CHARCOAL 



should be in all 



Potted Plants 



A small amount of charcoal (size 1 nut) placed 

 in the bottom of all pots provides a superior 

 drainage and eoualization of soil moisture; for 

 charcoal has the double duality of absorbing 

 moisture and of yielding it up to plants. 



Charcoal is further a fertilizing agent in that 

 it promotes chemical action in the soil and 

 supplies various essentials for plant nourish- 

 ment. 



In the preparation of beds one bushel of char- 

 coal (extra fine, size 20) should be mixed with 

 sixteen bushels of earth. This same mixture 

 will be found of considerable value in pot soil. 



Prices: F. O. B. I ronton — 100 lbs. $2.50; 

 HOG lbs. S1 1.00; 1000 lbs. $21.00; Ton $40.00; 

 In baars, by freight only.
