 low priced bouquets, 50 cents being as 

 high as many customers wish to pay; 

 Mrs. Opitz says that she has a list of 

 rose customers who buy regularly. She 

 says the reason for her steady rose 

 sales is the good quality stock she 

 secures from J. A. Budlong, which is 

 nice of her, don't you think! 



King* of Plumes, a late yellow pom- 



Son, made big money last season for

 stock. 



Hal Kennicott, secretary of Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co., has returned from 

 Florida. 



Old-timers in the market read the

 special interest because the murder took

 found on the spot where the Bassett 

 & Washburn icebox stood in those days. 



E. H. Montgomery, of Fairfield, la.,
