that cost more and are harder to get. 

 If carnations had been 5 and 10 cents 

 apiece, scarcely anyone would have 

 wanted them, but when anyone called 

 attention to the shortage of this crop, 

 especially after the hail storm the Sun- 

 day before, and the consequent higher 

 prices, there was heavy baying. The 

 carnation sentiment was strong and 

 that was the note on which the papers 

 based their charge of profiteering, but 

 it was unfair, because carnations were 

 really the small end of the business 

 this year. This was of necessity, be- 

 cause the local crop was cut to one- 

 fifth of normal by the hail and the 

 shipped stock was a loss to a great 

 extent. 



Some of the florists did not sell a 

 carnation on the floor Saturday, May 

 8. They saved a few from the clean-up 

 Friday for telegraph orders. Spring 

 flowers and plants were heavy sellers. 

 As usual, the day called for medium- 

 priced orders, from $5 to $7 being the 

 average sale. Of course there were 

 many smaller orders and some larger, 

 but these prices told the story for the 

 majority. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Murray had three times the 

 usual number of advance orders for 

 Mothers' day. Mr. Murray sold a large 

 quantity of gloxinias, hydrangeas and 

 begonias along with other stock. 



The Pinehurst Floral Co. had ten 

 times as many orders for carnations as 

 at Easter and one-third the quantity. 

 The Easter cut was 30,000. During th« 

 week of May 3 they cut 10,000 and May 

 7 they had orders for 11,000. 



J. C. Steinhauser, Pittsburg, Kan., 

 and Ealph Ward, Lawrence, Kan., were 

 recent visitors. 



Clifford Pruner and James J. Karins 

 called on the trade last week. 



Miss Nettie Seymour, of Rock's, is 

 ill at her home. 



The T. J. Noll Floral Co. has leased 

 a store, 41x150 feet, at 1117 McGee 

 street and is making improvements. It 

 will have twenty tables for the display 

 of supplies, ample space for storage 

 and surplus stock and a large shipping 

 room. An icebox, 8x30 feet and seven 

 feet high, will be built, with a refrig- 

 erating system.
