the store was out of both plant and cut 

 lilies. 



The W. L. Eock Flower Co. cut 32,000 

 carnations in four days of Easter week 

 and moved them all. The regular price, 

 $2 a dozen, was charged. Long-stemmed 

 roses were the only stock on which 

 prices were advanced above normal for 

 Easter by this firm. Forty per cent of 

 its lilies were not in for Easter. These 

 later plants were in time for weddings 

 which were held March 30 and April 2. 

 In fact, they were held back for these 

 decorations. For the April wedding, 

 700 lilies were used. Between 600 and 

 800 lavender tulips were saved for the 

 same occasion. 



Miss L. E. Boggess sold between 400 

 and 500 plants for Easter. Like all the 

 other florists, she could have sold many 

 more lilies. 



B. Fred Collins died March 30 after 

 a long illness following the influenza. 

 He is survived by his mother and two 

 sisters. Miss' Elizabeth and Miss Ella M. 

 Collins. The latter is bookkeeper for 

 • the Alpha Floral Co. 



A. NewoU found that some customers 

 disliked the advertising of prices. It 

 told too plainly the value of their gifts 

 ' to friends. In some cases where ad- 

 vance orders had been placed for lilies 

 they were changed at the last to other 

 flowers because the newspapers an- 

 nounced how much lilies would be. Mr. 

 Newell believes it is a mistake to quote 

 any prices in retailers' advertising. 



George Papadakos has returned from 

 New York city, whither lie was called 

 by the death of his nephew, George 

 Contas. The young man had been in 

 America only tliree months. He was 

 enij)l()ye(l liy'Panos Bros., New York. 



Cari Hagemeyer, Paola, Kan.; A. N. 

 Nielsen, Pana, "ill., and Mr. Farnham, 

 Carrollton, Mo., were among last week's 

 visitors. 



Nelson Jarrett has 10,000 21/2-inch 

 ferns of different varieties and a num- 

 ber of new and fancy varieties of 

 ])etunias for boxes. He will make a spe- 

 cialty of petunias this season. About 

 100 lilies that were an inch or two above 

 ground were killed by the Easter storm. 

 So were some verbenas, lantanas, lilacs 

 and early cherries. 



Few coiiinuTcial places in the United 

 States have as fine a lot of gloxinias as 

 those Samuel Murray is showing. He 

 had 500 bulbs this season. They are 

 coming in earlier and doing better than 

 in auv jircvious year. 



The Ilumfeld-Orear Floral Co. has 

 been busy with funeral work since 

 Easter.

AGERATUM, Fraserii 



We feel confident in offering Ageratum "Fraserii" to our customers that we are 

 offering what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in 

 recent years, that is a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In 

 our trial grounds last summer "Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other 

 bedding plant. It only grew about eight to ten inches high and was covered the entire 

 season with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of flowers, as many of them 

 were over 254 inches across, while the individual flower would be ?i of an inch in diame- 

 ter. The plant spread about 1£ to IS inches across. It can easily be used with Alternan* 

 theras as a border plant. 



Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant. 

 2-inch, $1.00 per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 3-inch, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
