Tlie Market. 



Cloudy, murky weather for five or six 

 successive days has shortened the sup- 

 ply of roses and carnations, which were 

 arriving in good shape lately, but chrys- 

 anthemums have been plentiful enough 

 to make up the difference. There is no 

 glut in any line, but just about enough 

 to take care of a demand which is fair 

 and steady. October has been a satis- 

 factory month, from all available re- 

 ports. It was nothing like a year ago, 

 when influenza was raging and everyone 

 in the flower business was working day 

 and night on funeral orders, but not 

 one in the business would welcome a re- 

 turn of the 1918 situation, even with the 

 money it meant. The month just passed 

 closed a little lighter than it would 

 otherwise, on account of the drive. These 

 campaigns aflfect buying in every line, 

 it has been found. This week's prices 

 on chrysanthemums have been from $2 

 to $4, roses $4 to $12, carnations $4 



and $5. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Newell says business is im- 

 proving steadily and he likes his present 

 location better all the time. He has re- 

 ceived flattering compliments on his new 

 store from eastern visitors. 



J. G. Eggleston has been striving to 

 be the first in this market with sweet 

 peas. He cut some fine ones week be- 

 fore last and, had the weather been fa- 

 vorable, he would have had quantities 

 of blooms since. He planted the seed 

 August 18 and has a good stand now. 

 The first bloom appeared October 6, so 

 that Mr. Eggleston believes that he holds 

 the honor this year. 



W. L. Rock is one of the active work- 

 ers in the Liberty Memorial and Local 

 Charities campaign. Mr. Rock has taken 

 part in every campaign since the war 

 started and has given generously of 

 money as well as time. All of the flo- 

 rists have been liberal contributors in 

 every drive and have been among the 

 first called upon for subscriptions. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, 

 Ind., spent October 27 and 28 in the citv 

 on their way home from California. P. 

 A. Manson, of Pleasant Hill, Mo., came 

 up October 28 to meet Mr. Hill. 



The week of October 20 was a busy 

 one for the force of Samuel Murray's 

 shop. Mr. Murray says that one day of 

 that week was the heaviest he ever put 

 in. The funeral of the 4-year-old son of 

 C. S. Keith, one of the wealthy residents

of the city, brought a number of large 

 orders. One was a blanket of baby 

 roses, pale lavender and yellow orchids 

 and maidenhair fern, made on a founTTa- 

 tion of white satin. It was one of the 

 most beautiful things ever made here. 



W. L. Rock returned October 27 from 

 the east. After attending the F. T. D. 

 convention in Buffalo he went on to New 

 York and Philadelphia. Mr. Rock, who 

 is always on the alert for new ideas, 

 brought back several which he means to 

 put to practical use in his business. 



William Hasselman, of Independence, 

 Kan., was in the city several days last 

 week. 



The Pinehurst Floral Co. has bought 

 an Oldsmobile truck to be used for car- 

 rying stock from the greenhouses, at 

 Pleasant Hill, Mo., thirty-two miles 

 from Kansas City, to the salesrooms 

 here. This is the second truck pur- 

 chased in the last few months, the other 

 one being used in Pleasant Hill. They 

 have been using a Ford for transporta- 

 tion purposes and the method was so 

 successful that a larger car was desired. 

 The truck will leave Pleasant Hill each 

 morning at 6 o'clock and arrive in Kan-

Henry Kusik & Co. are receiving be- 

 tween 1,000 and 1,500 carnations daily. 

 They are a little short on white chrysan- 

 themums, but have plenty of yellow and 

 a few pink. J. E. K.
