The Market. 



Extremely warm weather the first 

 three days of last week caused much 

 uneasiness on the part of chrysanthe- 

 mum growers, but they say no harm 

 was done, as the heat did not continue 

 long enough. 



Each week sees a more plentiful sup- 

 ply of stock and an improvement in 

 roses. Eussells are now selling from $8 

 to $14 per hundred, Ophelias from $4 

 to $6 per hundred, and other varieties 

 from $4 to $10 per hundred. A few 

 gladioli remain on the market and they 

 bring $5 and $6 per hundred. Asters 

 are $2.50 and $3 per hundred. The de- 

 mand for all kinds of flowers was strong 

 enough last week to use up everything 

 that was offered. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Elizabeth Hayden, of Samuel 

 Murray's, had the honor of making a 

 corsage for Mrs. Wilson when the Presi- 

 dent and Mrs. Wilson were in Kansas 

 City September 6. The bouquet was 

 composed of lilies of the valley and 

 orchids, one especially fine orchid be- 

 ing a choice specimen grown in Mr. 

 Murray's own greenhouse. The order 

 for the corsage was given by the re- 

 ception committee of the Chamber of 

 Commerce. Samuel Murray also had an 

 order for a large hand bouquet for Mrs. 

 Wilson when she visited Kansas City 

 about three years ago. 



W. O. Hultse, of the W. L. Rock Flow- 

 er Co., has returned from overseas after 

 more than a year 's service in the army. 



E. H. Frandsen is consigning some 

 fine Russell roses to T. J. Noll & Co. 



W. E. Tredup, of A. L. Randall Co., 

 Chicago, has completed a successful trip 

 through the southwest. He says that 

 the feeling is general that business will 

 be especially heavy this fall and florists 

 are buying accordingly. 



Mr. and Mrs. John F. Murray have 

 gone to California on their postponed 

 wedding trip. They were married Au- 

 gust 14 and intended to go to the coast, 

 but as travel in that direction was un- 

 certain, owing to the railroad situation,
