KANSAS CITY NOTES. 



• [Concluded from page 64. ] 

 J. Austin is cutting some fine carna- 

 tions and a few sweet peas. 



The Eosery has been busy with cor- 

 sage orders all the week. 



Mrs. Hedges had the order for the 

 golden jubilee of the Rev. W. J. Dalton, 

 a pioneer priest of Kansas City, Decem- 

 ber 30. The celebration took place in 

 Annunciation church in the morning, 

 with about sixty-five priests and the 

 bishop of the diocese in attendance. The 

 altars were decorated with white roses 

 and on either side were huge baskets 

 of white roses tied with yellow tulle. 



Ed A. Humf eld's December business 

 was far ahead of the same month a 

 year age, although that was a busy 

 time. Prices were much higher this 

 year. 



J. 6. Eggleston is now getting his 

 bedding plants ready for spring. He 

 has one house devoted entirely to pe- 

 tunias. 



The Peterson Floral Co. was one of 

 the few florists who handled Christmas 

 trees and greens. They did not care 

 to be bothered with this line, but aa 

 they had supplied their customers for 

 several years, they decided to continue 

 and they disposed of a large stock of 

 trees. 



Miss J. E. Murray and Miss Grace 

 Murray, with the assistance of several 

 friends, found time amid their Christ- 

 mas rush to furnish a Christmas tree 

 for the fifty-eight children in the 

 Spofford Home. They raised about $100 

 in cast, with which they bought mate- 

 rial and, with their friends, made gar- 

 ments for the children. They also sup- 

 plied each inmate with mittens, stock- 

 ings, gloves, toys and candy. 



A. Newell had a $100 blanket for a 

 funeral December 30. It was made of 

 Ophelia roses, stevia and smilax. 



Ed A. Humfeld foimd cyclamens the 

 favorite Christmas plants this year, with 

 poinsettias and begonias next in popu- 

 larity. 



Three girls were kept busy continually 

 three days before Christmas at the store 

 of the W. L. Bock Flower Co., relaying 

 orders by mail and telegraph. Mr. Bock 

 says he considers the F. T. D. the big- 

 gest customer that any florist has. 



James Hayes, of Topeka, Kan., and 

 Frank Stuppy, St. Joseph, Mo., were 

 visitors this week. 



Samuel Murray had a dinner at the 

 Country Club December 31, for which 

 the decorations were Peterson begonias, 

 Premier and Ophelia roses and purple 

 heather. J. E. K.

The Market. 



The market was kept clean last week. 

 Stock dropped in price a little and at 

 times it was a question, not of "I 

 want," but of "what have you gott" 

 A large number of artificial flowers were 

 in use. There was a noticeable decrease 

 in the amount of corsage bouquets and 

 table decorations called for this season 

 as compared with previous years. 



Eoses were of ^ood quality, especially 

 Ophelia, Columbia, Premier, Killarney 

 and Hadley, and brought from $12 to $25 

 per hundred. Carnations were short of 

 the demand and brought $8 per hundred 

 for shorts and $12 for the better grades. 

 Violets, both single and double, were 

 scarce. Narcissi cleaned up readily at I 



/^UR Business has the 

 pleasant trait of making 

 others Happy, so it is more 

 fitting that we should wish 

 you the fullest measure of 

 Happiness and Prosperity, 

 not for the just passed Holi- 

 day season alone, but for the 

 entire year 1920 and years 

 to come. Always at your 



service.
