A counter refrigerator is something that you ought 

 to have. In it stock can be displayed to the best 

 advantage, and yet the most delicate blooms are kept in perfect condi- 

 tion. It is a decoration as well as a necessity. The cut is only one of 

 several desigas, and we arc prepared to make special drawings if required. Write for f»btalog^e.

week. There was a particularly large 

 quantity of work for the funeral of 

 W, B. Nelson, the editor of the Kansas 

 City Star. For this there were flow- 

 ers from all over the United States, 

 including designs from President 

 Wilson and other prominent people. 

 Only setpieces went to the cemetery; 

 all the sprays and baskets were taken 

 to the hospitals. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held a banquet 

 at the Coates House April 19. It was 

 well attended, as good speakers had 

 been obtained. The club is progressing 

 well, as is shown by the good at- 

 tendance. Subjects of interest are dis- 

 cussed at each meeting. It will be 

 only a short time until the florists out- 

 pide the club will realize the work that 

 is being done. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co. has commenced to tear down five 

 old greenhouses and will cover the 

 same space with three houses of greater 

 width. Business is all that could be 

 erpeeted. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. received 

 a large number of out-of-town orders 

 for W. R. Nelson's funeral. A great 

 many baskets and other arrangements 

 of flowers were also sent by this firm. 



Samuel Murray had a large share of 

 the work for the funeral of W. R. 

 Nelson, supplying more flowers than 

 for any previous funeral. Miss Haden, 

 who had charge of all the flowers at 

 this funeral, had a big ^ob on her 

 hands, sending all the setpieces to the 

 cemetery and all the sprays and baskets 

 to the hospitals. There were enough 

 cut flowers for every hospital in 

 Greater Elansas City. 



Arthur Newell reports good businefss. 

 He has had plenty of decorating, with 

 many orders booked ahead.

The Market. 



For some unknown reason, business 

 was much depressed in the first half of 

 last week. Heavy consignments ar- 

 rived daily, but there were few custom- 

 ers. There was so much stock on hand 

 that it was procural|le at the buyers*
