Various Notes. 



Dr. H. W. Miu'idiy, St. .losepli, Mo., 

 was ill tlie cit.v Friday, May 19, on his 

 way home from St. Louis. He rejiortiMl 

 good business all uu>nth and sales for 

 Mothers' day that exceeded all previous 

 years. 



A. Newell cleaned n\) on stock for 

 Mothers' day and could have sold more 

 could he have obtained it. He asked $1 

 less per dozen for carnations than last 

 year, handling only a little fancy stock 

 that retailed for more than ^'A.- This 

 reasonable price eliminated complaints 

 on the i)art of buyers. 



Mrs. Earl Lacey and children are vis- 

 iting relatives in Leavenworth, Kan. 



Mr. (iiiggs, of the Kingman Floral 

 Co., Kingman, Kan., was in the city last 

 week, buying stock from the T. J. Noll 

 Floral Co. Mr. Griggs is jireparing to 

 build another greenhouse. 



Report of the death of Mrs. Louise C. 

 Fields, long in the business at Tenth 

 street and Splitlog avenue, Kansas City, 

 Kan., api>e8rs in the obituary column 

 this week. 



A. X. Nielsen has jdanted 7.'j,000 car- 

 nations in the field. This is about l.l.don 



more than he planteil last vear. His cut 

 for Mothers' day was 27,(100. He will 

 have nearlv as numv for Memorial day. 



The William L. Rock Flower Co.« had 

 almost as many incoming telegraph or- 

 ders as were sent out for Mothers' day; 

 this was unusual. M. E. Carter, man- 

 ager, said he was glad to see that florists 

 everywhere are making more of this 

 branch of the Imsiuess. 



R. S. Bi-()vvn & Son said that Mothers* 

 day surjiassed all j)revious holidays, in- 

 cluding Christmas and Easter. This 

 season's business throughout is the best 

 in six years. Good stock, in plentiful 

 ([uantity, has been handled and cleaned 

 up. R. S. Brown is again at active work 

 after four months' illness. 



(). C. Longnickel has leased his green- 

 houses to Mr. L;i Pata, a grower, and 

 now has a retail store at \:VMi South 

 Twenty-sixth street, Argentine, Kan. 

 This location is near the Santa Fe depot, 

 on a good business street. He says he 

 feels fifteen years younger since making 

 the change. 



Joseph .\ustin's business for Mothers' 

 day was thirty per cent better than that 

 of a year ago. Many more baskets were 

 sold this year than before, (ieraniums 

 and ageratums combined with other 

 plants were used. These baskets will be 

 good in the home or for jiorch decora- 

 tion all summer. Carnations, sweet peas 

 and snapdragons, from the Austin green- 

 houses, sold well. 



The Stuppy Supply Co. will handle 

 80,000 peonies for Memorial day. 



Mothers' day business with H. Kusik 

 & Co. was better than that of Christmas. 

 Heavy shi])nients of wreaths and sup- 

 Iilies for Memorial day are going out.
