Earl Lacey, of H. Kusik & Co., says 

 that he finds business so far just as good 

 as it was last year before holiday time. 

 He expects to have plenty of roses, but 

 not more than half enough carnations. 



Samuel Murray's Melior begonias are 

 better t^is year than ever. Prices arc 

 more reasonable, although the price of 

 coal is higher than it was even in war 

 time, with one exception. Mr. Murray 

 paid $15 a ton for coal only once during 

 the war. He has paid that for all his 

 coal this winter and has burned $600 



worth so far. He uses the best semi- 

 anthracite coal, because it is cleaner 

 and gives better results in every way. 

 Frank X. Stuppy and Thomas Best, 

 of St. Joseph, Mo., were in the city De- 

 cember 14. Mr. Stuppy says he is firmly 

 convinced that there must be a reduc- 

 tion in flower prices or the business will 

 suffer. Mr. Stuppy recently returned 

 from the south, where he found the re- 

 tail market rather quiet on account of 

 high prices. "Florists expect too much 

 profit, because they have become accus- 



tomed to high prices," Mr. Stuppy said. 

 "We must all take a reduction in prices 

 or suffer the consequences in the long 

 run." 



Mrs. Boy Sansom is back in A. New- 

 ell 's shop for a month to help through 

 the rush. 



Advance orders have been good in the 

 Midland Flower Shop. Business is 

 steadily improving and the location is 

 considered one of the best. 



The Stuppy Supply Co. will receive a 

 good lot of stock from all of its con-
