as to take good care of the demand. 

 Last Saturday there was a surplus of 

 them. Narcissi are coming more freely, 

 and Bomans are to be had. Stevia is a 

 good Selling article at this time of the 

 year. ""Mums are scarcely to be con- 

 sider«d now. There are a good many 

 of them coming in yet, but they are now 

 a side issue and there is not so much 

 call for them. 



The Christmas green goods men are 

 now right in it. Holly seems to be 

 good this year and there is no indica- 

 tion of its being at all scarce. Other 

 greens are in equally good supply. 



Various Notes* 



A meeting of the Florists' Society 

 will be held Saturday, December 12. 

 The meetings are full of interest now, 

 owing to the coming convention of the 

 S. A. F. There are many subjects to be 

 talked over, and the greater the number 

 of members present, the more ideas are 

 brought forward. Those members who 

 do not attend the meetings are simply 

 missing something which they have a 

 right to have. It is their loss, so they 

 are urged to make the effort to be 

 present. 



The death of Mrs. H. A, Kresken re- 

 moved from our midst one of the oldest 

 of the lady florists in our city. She 

 had been engaged in the retail business 

 for years at 803 Vine street, and was 

 well known and respected among the 

 craft. Her death occurred December 2, 

 and December 5 her body was converted 

 to ashes at the Cincinnati crematory. 

 Her funeral was attended by many in the 

 trade, and the number and beauty of the 

 floral tributes sent gave one an idea 

 of her many friends, both in and out 

 of the trade. 



Orders are already being booked for 

 Christmas, which, by the way, is but 

 two weeks away. It seems to be coming 

 down upon us with a rush this year. 

 We ought to be able to do a good busi- 

 ness then, if we can only get the stock 

 to do it with.

Voices of Experience 



Every claim we make for 6apltol Boilers is founded on fact. The Florist 

 who Is using Capitol Hollars is the best witness to their special and superior 

 merit we can give. You are privileged to write to* the gentlemen who testify 

 below: 



S. D. Brant. Clay Center, Kan.:— The Oapltol Boiler we bought of you 

 last fall gives perfect satisfaction— an easy steamer and nice to handle. 



Bernard Katzwinkel. Mendota. 111. (ResUand Floral Oo.):-The Capitol 

 Boiler has given me complete satisfaotion. I find it a fine, clean Boiler to Are, 

 no coal waste, and a first-class heat producer. I can only speak highly of the 

 Capitol Boiler, and fully recommend it.

 all right. 



O. Fred Bauerle. Lansing, tllch. :— The Capitol Boiler has been satisfactory

 perfect satisfaction in every way, and we are well pleased with it. 



Any of our Branches or Sales Agencies will show you hundreds

 is better to be safe than sorry. Put in a Capitol Boiler.
