HUNT'S PURE BONE FLOUR

 Meal, except it is ground to a very 

 fine dust or flour, making it especially 

 valuable for use in liquid form or for 

 mixing with other fertilizers when 

 quick ' action is required.

BLOOD AND BONE 



Preferred by many of our best and largest growers owing to 

 its great percentage of ammonia and available phosphate, which 

 makes it quick acting. 



It is a mixture of pure tankage or blood and the best grade of 



Bone Meal in proportions to stimulate root action and bring out 

 the best color in the blooms.

PULVERIZED SHEEP 

 MANURE 



One of the most effective of ferti- 

 lizers and largely used by the best 

 growers, both as a top dressing and 

 in the manure tanks. A trial order 

 will convince the most skeptical of 

 the supeiiority of our brand. It is the 

 Pure Sheep Manure. No dirt, no 

 weed seeds, nothing but what will 

 give results. Sheep manure is a per- 

 fect fertilizer, containing all the nec- 

 essary plant foods which are lacking 

 in most soils.

has been adorned with a large sign bear- 

 ing this inscription, * ' The Eosary Con- 

 servatory will occupy this lot." Dili- 

 gent inquiry failed to elicit any informa- 

 tion as -to who was back of this new con- 

 cern, but the secret has at last leaked 

 out, and we have the information from 

 a very reliable source that Ed. Ellsworth 

 is to be the head of the project. We 

 understand that a wealthy citizen of this 

 place, at present unknown, is the silent 

 partner and is furnishing the capital, 

 while Mr. Ellsworth will be the active 

 manager and furnish the experience. 

 The location is without exception one 

 of the best in the city for a business 

 of this kind, as it is in the heart of the 

 most aristocratic residence section of the 

 city. Mr. Ellsworth has been the man- 

 ager of Geo. M. Kellogg 's store foi 

 some time and is well known here. He 

 possesses both the ability and experience 

 to make a success at his new venture. 



Samuel Murray handled one of the 

 most elaborate decorations of the sea- 

 son last Saturday, at Leavenworth, Kan., 

 for the wedding of Miss Angell to Lieut. 

 Mimus. The parlor was decorated with 

 pillars of Easter lilies, over 300 lilies 

 being used in this room. One hundred 

 long-stemmed American o^eauties and a 

 large amount of ferns and smilax were 

 used. The rest of the house was deco- 

 rated with spring flowers. The bride's 

 bouquet was a handsome creation of 

 white lilacs and forget-me-nots and was 

 a tribute to Miss Hayden's artistic abil- 



W. J. Barnes will put in the decora- 

 tions for the Emory, Bird, Thayer de- 

 partment store's spring opening next 

 week. This is an annual event with Mr. 

 Barnes. 



This section is in the grasp of another 

 cold wave, which may have a tendency 

 to curtail the supply of stock anu boost 

 prices a little. 



Mrs. J. E. Lord, of Topeka, and J. P. 

 Cohen, of Lexington, Mo., were visitors 

 last week. Kay See.

The Market. 



As forecasted in last week's notes, 

 business has improved. There is con- 

 siderable entertaining in a quiet way 

 and several large decorations were fur- 

 nished during the week. Several events 

 are planned for the near future that 

 promise to equal, if not excel, anything 

 this season has brought forth. The sup- 

 ply of good stock is almost unlimited, 

 fine roses and carnations being promi- 

 nent. Carnations are being much useu 

 for table work but tulips and jonquils 

 are also in demand. All spring flowers 

 move freely. Hydrangeas and smaller 

 stock in pots and pans continue to be in 

 demand. 



Qub Meeting. 



By a unanimous vote in each instance 

 the following officers were elected at 

 the meeting of the i-lorists' Club March 

 6: President, Peter Bisset; vice-presi- 

 dent, Louis Freeman; secretary, Charles 

 itlcCauley; treasurer, W. H. Ernest, re- 

 elected. 



President Bisset, since the reorganiza- 

 tion of the club, two years ago, has 

 served faithfully and well as secretary. 

 His unanimous election was but just 

 recognition of the faithful and efficient 

 service he has rendered the club. 



Eetiring President W. F. Gude was 



tendered a vote of thanks for his efforts 

 for the club's welfare and presented 

 with a silver mounted gavel, the wood 

 being sent from historic Mount Vernon 

 by Superintendent of Horticulture 

 Franklin Whalen. The head of the 

 gavel was made from the wood of a tree 

 planted by Gen. Washington, the han- 

 dle from a tree planted by Lafayette. 

 Mr. Gude, in response, spoke feeimgly 

 of the progress made by the club and 

 expressed his determination to work for 

 the erection of a permanent home for 

 the club. 



The carnations John E. Haines, Glen- 

 dale and Eed Sport, were exhibited at 

 the meeting. Jolm E. Haines, which, as 

 is well known, was originated by the 

 grower of that name of Bethlehem, Pa., 

 having been exhibited three times at 

 the club's shows, was awarded a certifi- 

 cate. Glendale, a fine variegated bloom, 

 is by the Veseys, of Ft. Wayne, Ind. 

 Red Sport was disseminated last year 

 by A. B. Davis & Son, Purcellville, Va. 

 Though not as large as some of the new 

 scarlets, it has established an enviable 

 reputation as a good commercial bloom. 



The Banquet. 



The club banquet at Fruend's was 

 an enjoyable event and furnished a feast 

 of reason and other things and a flow 

 of soul. As toastmaster, Pres. Gude 

 called on George Field to responu to the 

 toast, "American Beauty Rose." As 

 Mr. Field discovered and disseminated 

 American Beauty, he was literally at 

 home with his subject. 



Fred H. Kramer responded for Queen 

 Beatrice and President-elect Bisset, E. 

 A. Moseley, N. S. Hammer, Chas. Hen- 

 lock and others spoke entertainingly.
