Euclid avenue establishment of Smith & 

 Fetters. The big display room was a 

 bower of roses, artistically distributed 

 over the walls and ceiling in honor of 

 the reorganization of the company, which 

 was enlarged to take in some of the em- 

 ployees. 



Between 3 and 4 o'clock a reception 

 for the patrons of the company and the 

 general public was held, and the ladies 

 were given favors of large bouquets of 

 violets. 



The officers of the concern are Frank 

 Monroe Smith, ^^esident and treasurer, 

 who will also continue as supervisor of 

 contract work; William S. Krusen, vice- 

 president; Louis A. Koons, Jr., secre- 

 tary; Clarence A. Myers, decorator, and 

 Timothy Smith, manager. 



DES MOINES, lA. 



The Market. 



The sudden change from summer to 

 winter weather here has shortened up the 

 supply in m'ost flowers, besides killing 

 all outdoor stock, such as lilacs, tulips, 

 daffodils, etc. Carnations, that were 

 planted in the field a week ago, are look- 

 ing bad and some fear they are ruined. 

 Betail trade last week was exceptionally 

 good with all the downtown stores. 



Various Notes. 



The Des Moines Floral Co. closed up 

 April 22. There was not enough busi- 

 ness to make it go. We understand that 

 William Trillow has taken over the store 

 of the Des Moines Floral Co. and will 

 remodel things in general for a first- 

 class store, which he intends to run in 

 conjunction with his greenhouses on 

 W^oodland avenue. 



The J. S. Wilson Floral Co. is setting 

 posts for a now greenhouse, 18x200 feet, 

 expecting to have it finishetl in time to 

 plant to chrysanthemums. Booster. 



West Shakon, Mass. — The green-

 poag street, barely mis.sed destruction by

 borhood, April 14.
