The Market 



Cloudy weather the past week has 

 somewhat injured the prospects for a 

 large holiday cut of roses or carnations. 

 Cut blooms were very scarce on the 

 market the past week and as Christmas 

 draws near are getting scarcer, prices are 

 going up and the demand is for first-class 

 stock. Betail stores are rushed with busi- 

 ness and everyone is looking forward to 

 what promises to be the largest business 

 done in the history of the city. Christ- 

 mas greens are on the market in abund- 

 ance. There is enough lycopodium, but 

 good prices are received. Holly averages 

 unsatisfactorily, only a very small quan- 

 tity coming in that can be called first- 

 class. Cyclamens, azaleas, poinsettias, Be- 

 gonia Gloire de Lorraine and primroses 

 are looking fine and prices are a little in 

 advance of last year. 



Various Notes. 



Atrip through the retail district shows 

 some fine window decorations, among the 

 best being those of Samuel Murray, W. L. 

 Rock, Miss M. Dalley and Miss J. E. Mur- 

 ray. 



Miss Murray had some fine wedding 

 decorations last week and will have a 

 large one this week at the Central Pres- 

 byterian church. Miss Murray also re- 

 ports an unusually large demand for 

 Christmas decorations. 



W. L. Eock has had numerous decora- 

 tions for receptions and weddings this 

 week and reports fine indications for 

 business during the holidays. 



Mr. Freudenthal, of the Union Depot 

 Floral Co., has leased new quarters at 

 Twelfth and Walnut streets to which he 

 will remove January 1. , 



The largest decoration in the past year 

 was the one last Saturday evening in the 

 First Christian church. The occasion was 

 the wedding of Ensign Hayne Ellis, of 

 the Battleship Kentucky, to Miss Sallie 

 Long of this city. The work was done 

 by the W. H. Humfeld Floral Co. The 

 color scheme was in yellow and white, the 

 ship colors. Southern smilax, palms and 

 rosf s were used. Jas. Biggam had charge 

 of the work. 



Arthur Newell is doing art immense 

 business these days and is thoroughly 

 satisfied. 



Miss Dalley has some of the finest 

 Brides and Kaiserins in the city. She 

 buys the entire output of Al. Broman, of 

 Independence, and is doing a fine trade 

 in evergreens. 



A new establishment has been opened 

 in the Masonic building, to be known as 

 the Star Floral Co., with Miss F. M. 

 Shaeffer as manager. The new company 

 has only temporary quartrrs at present, 

 but expects to have permanent quarters 

 by the first of the year. 



The AlRha Floral Co. has an extra 

 force employed making wreaths and rop- 

 ing and reports trade as fine.
