Mums are fairly plentiful now and 

 are in prime condition, but there is de- 

 mand for every one being cut, as there 

 is for all other stock, the variety of 

 which is limited. Carnations are com- 

 iiijr in a little better. Killarney and 

 White Killarney, Ophelia and Ward 

 are from $6 to $10 per hundred. Eus- 

 sell, Premier, Columbia and Milady 

 range from $10 to $20. As usual when 

 mums are at their best, there is a short- 

 age of roses. Growers are getting their 

 crops in shape for Christmas. Pom- 

 pons are the same as last week, 50 and 

 7.") cents a bunch.

Because the wrecking company 

 wanted to begin tearing down the old 

 building, Ed A. Humfeld moved into 

 his new store a few days earlier than 

 he had intended and b?fore the build- 

 ing was cpiite complete in the way of 

 heat and light, but it will be finished 

 in another week. The new store is on 

 Admiral boulevard, opj)osite the Paseo, 

 where Mr. Humfeld has owned property 

 for a number of years. The store is of 

 white stucco with a green roof, unlike 

 an ordinary business building and quite 

 attractive, in keeping with the location.
