Flowers and Giving 



"Consider the lilies of 

 the field." How bounti- 

 fully they bloom, how 

 freely and fully they give 

 of their loveliness and 

 sweetness. 



Brother Florists, we 

 give to you our kindly 

 thoughts and best wishes. 

 Let us make this Spring- 

 time very beautiful. "He 

 that soweth bountifully, 

 shall reap also bounti- 

 fully."

KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



Business was fine all last week. The 

 wave of buying, started at Easter, has 

 kept on. The freedom with which 

 money has been spent indicates that 

 there is a great amount in circulation, 

 notwithstanding the economy manifested 

 in some lines of business. Easter Mon- 

 day was a banner day. The new city 

 executive, Mayor Cromwell, and the 

 other Democratic officials who were re- 

 cently elected, took their oaths of office 

 that day. They were the recipients of 

 floral tributes worth approximately 

 $6,000. More money was spent for flow- 

 ers than in any former city administra- 

 tion. Huge baskets of cut flowers, 

 plants and designs formed a mass of 

 color in the council chambers and of- 

 fices of the various members. Two 

 women were elected to the upper house 

 of the council, which added to the in- 

 terest of the occasion. In addition to 

 the municipal celebration, there were 

 numerous funerals Easter Monday and 

 many orders for hospitals and sick 

 rooms. Stock was cut freely all the 

 week, but everything was used. 



Various Notes. 



Glenn K. Parker, manager of the 

 Stuppy Supply Co., spent Friday, April 

 21, at Pleasant Hill, Mo. He went down 

 to look over stock in the greenhouses. 

 Incidentally, he spent a few hours fish- 

 ing and caught twenty-one bass.
