KANSAS QTY. 



Assignment of The Shaeffer Co. 



On Monday the Chas. A. Shaeffer 

 Floral Co. made an assignment for the 

 benefit of creditors. The assignee is 

 W. W. Filkin, 510 American Bank build- 

 ing. No statement is made as to the 

 amount of liabilities or assets. 



C. A. Shaeffer 's embarking in the 

 trade was with a blare of trumpets 

 which resounded from Kansas City to 

 New York. He was lauded as the type 

 of wealthy business man who turns to 

 the florists' business as a polite occupa- 

 tion for energies so long successfully 

 active that idleness is irksome. It was 

 asserted that he had ' ' money to burn ; ' ' 

 and people believed it, for he said so 

 himself. He opened a wholesale and 

 a retail store at 805 Walnut street, and 

 built a range of glass with the an- 

 nouncement that it was only the nucleus 

 for a plant which would make Kansas 

 City the cut flower center of the west. 

 The wholesale store was disposed of 

 some weeks ago, to the Western Cut 

 Flower Commission Co., W. A. Bastian, 

 manager, but this was subsequently 

 closed, Mr. Bastian starting for himself 

 at 1303 Baltimore avenue. 



The assignee states that the assets 

 of the company consists of "a very full 

 greenhouse," which is good for an as- 

 signment the morning after Easter. The 

 assignee asserts that if creditors are 

 lenient the assets will be more than 

 enough to meet all liabilities. 



Various Notes. 



L. D. Lane has become manager for 

 the Kansas City Carnation Co., 1303 

 Baltimore avenue, having greenhouses at 

 Pope Station, Kan. 



Princeton, III. — Carl Ericcson is 

 making some extensive improvements at 

 his greenhouses on South street. The 

 old houses are entirely too small 

 for Mr. Ericcson 's large and growing 

 business. He is now erecting a modern 

 and strictly first-class range to cover a 

 ground space of 113x136 feet. He ex- 

 pects as soon as the new building is com- 

 plete to tear down the old houses and 

 move his stock to the new ones.

Evergreen, Ala. — Spring bulbs were

 now there is a fine showing of roses out-
