mums that we have seen for some time. 

 He reports business good in his new 

 store. His old customers stayed with 

 him and he is getting quite a few new 

 ■ones. 



Joseph Austin reports a good busi- 

 ness. A visit to his greenhouses shows 

 that he is making quite large prepara- 

 tions for the holiday business. He heats 

 with steam, using natural gas for fuel, 

 which works perfectly. He is now plan- 

 ning to build two new houses next sum- 

 mer, each 30x108 feet, and also a fine 



conservatory and office on the corner of 

 his vacant ground. Mr. Austin is lo- 

 cated in one of the best districts in the 

 south part of the city and he has a 

 bright future before him. 



The Alpha Floral Co. hlas been dis- 

 playing more art in its show window for 

 the last few weeks than heretofore, keep- 

 ing the bulk of the stock in the inside 

 cooler. They say that they are well 

 stocked up on greens, such as holly and 

 wild smilax, in cold storage. 



Mr. Smith, proprietor of the Monroe 



Greenhouses, has everything neat and 

 clean. His carnations are fine and large. 

 His large collection of cyclamens is look- 

 ing fine, but will not be in on time for 

 Christmas. His Primula obconica are 

 fine, but late in blooming. Mr. Smith, 

 being cramped for room, will probably 

 build in the near future a range of houses 

 out in some suburb of the city, 



S. B. Ayres, of Independence, Mo., 

 has opened a store in the arcade of the 

 Scarritt building. It is called the Arcade 

 Flower Shop. W. H. H.
