DES MOINES, lA. 



The Market. 



Thanksgiving day brought a large 

 'demand for cut flowers. Ghrysanthe- 

 «nums were eagerly sought for. The 

 football game created a big demand 

 for yellow mums and every florist's 

 -stock was cleaned up. 



Various Notes. 



Poinsettias at the Iowa Seed Co. 

 ^eenhouses are opening their bracts, 

 «ome reaching fifteen to sixteen inches 

 in diameter. They are unusually tall 

 this season, but give promise of a great 

 •*rop. 



The J. Wilson Floral Co. cleaned 

 cp pretty well on their chrysanthe- 

 mums, Jeanne Nonin, their late white, 

 coming well behind the Timothy Eaton 

 family. There is a big demand for 

 baby pompons, Zehobia leading. 



O. It. Kurtzweil, of the Iowa Seed 

 -Co., was in an automobile accident and 

 sustained a broken nose and severe 

 bruises. He was returning from town 

 with relatives, and as they crossed the 

 -ear tracks to- turn in to his home, an- 

 other automobile hit the car amidships, 

 ■completely wrecking it and pitching 

 ■out the occupants. Mr. Keeyes, owner, 

 had a badly cut hand, Mrs. Keeyes a 

 broken rib, and Sonny Keeyes a cut 

 ■chin. Grandma Keeyes was rushed to 

 the hospital, but her condition was 

 :grave and she died November 26. 



The Alpha Floral Co. displayed a fine 

 flhow of mums, cyclamens, azaleas, val- 

 ley and violets, and everything helped 

 toward an excellent Thanksgiving 

 trade. W. D.
