time iii 1918, Mr. Keid was in the Brit- 

 ish flying service and only a few months 

 ago he returned from London to his old 

 position. The change to peaceful pur- 

 suits lent special inspiration to his work 

 and some of the creations he turned out 

 were wonderfully beautiful. The cheapest 

 plant at Murray's was $3.50. The plant 

 baskets were 'from $10 to $50. One 

 gorgeous basket of heather and cerise 

 cyclamens and Farleyense ferns sold for 

 $100. Koses were from $7.50 to $10 and 

 from $15 to $20, all long stock. There 

 was a limited amount of roses that sold 

 for $6, but this was so small that it lasted 

 but a short time. Murray's force 

 worked from 6 a. m. Wednesday until 

 after noon Christmas day. 



Henry Kusik & Co. had 6,000 mums, 

 which helped out on cut flower orders 

 and went for $3 to $5. They were short 

 on carnations, like everybody else. They 

 had between 15,000 and 17,000 when 

 they should have had 25,000 and they 

 were from 10,000 to 12,000 short on 

 roses. Their fancy Russells and Premiers 

 sold for $60 to $75, the short and me- 

 dinm for $20 and $25. 



"William Wade, Kansas City manager 

 for the Pinehurst Floral Co., could have 

 sold five times the amount of cut flowers 

 that he had. The coal shortage cut the 

 production in the greenhouses at Pleas- 

 ant Hill many thousand in November 

 and December and Mr, Wade turned 

 down order after order, not only once 

 but twice and sometimes three times. 

 Dealers refused to take "no" for an
