David Geddes, manager of Vande- 

 voort's floral aepartment, is back from 

 Pittsburgh, where he attended the fu- 

 neral of his father. He reports that 

 Julius Schaeffer, who helped out during 

 his absence, is now on the regular pay- 

 roll of his department, and that W. S. 

 Wells will oper a nursery department 

 at Vandevoort's March 1, in which 

 everything in this line will be handled. 



Beyer Bros., on South Grand avenue, 

 had a hard time last week to keep 

 from being frozen out. Their boiler, 

 which the Kewanee Boiler Co. installed 

 eight years ago, burst the early part of 

 the week. Their decorative and 

 blooming plants all were removed to 

 the rear houses. A new boiler from the 

 American Eadiator Co. was supplied 

 and installed at once. Two dozen oil 

 stoves kept the "temperature above the 

 freezing point. •). J. B.

Stock has not been plentiful, because 

 of the cloudy weather, and the demand 

 far exceeds the supply. 



S. Bryson Ayres Co. has added a 

 notable improvement in the use of 

 electricity in the sweet pea houses. 

 The wires have been sunk in the soil 

 and thereby make the plants work 

 twenty-four hours per day. Mr. Bry- 

 son states that by this process he has 

 doubled the number of blooms and in- 

 creased his profits materially. Of 

 course this method has been tried in 

 other countries, but this is the first 

 experiment of the kind in this locality, 

 and therefore has created great interest 

 among local florists. 



A. M. Sourdry is cutting a fine crop 

 of lettuce at hi^ large house at Adams 

 Station. 



J. H. Boyd, whose entire greenhouse 

 plant was destroyed by an explosion of 

 dynamite belonging to a rock crushing 

 company, has got all the houses rebuilt 

 and restocked. He has about 10,000 ge- 

 raniums and a large supply of other 

 bedding stock. He is also cutting some 

 fine carnations. 



R. B. Tindail, though one of the old- 

 est florists in the state and well ad- 

 vanced in years, still makes his daily 

 trip to Kansas City for supplies.
