but the local growers of these are hop- 

 ing for improvement soon. 



McKinley day fell on Sunday this 

 year, and the local florists made prac- 

 tically no effort to call attention to it. 

 Carnations have not gone begging by 

 any means, and there was no object in 

 attempting to accelerate the demand 

 for them and to lead to Sunday busi- 

 ness, which Wichita florists have shown 

 no tendency to welcome at any time. 



Various Notes. 



The downtown store of Chas. P. 

 Mueller is displaying a window full of 

 splendid plants and jardinieres. 



W. H. Gulp is pleased with the com- 

 pletion of the new municipal dam over 

 the Little Arkansas river, as he uses 

 water from this stream in his green- 

 houses, and the rise in the water head 

 helps in the long pull from the river to 

 his pump. W. Davidson, of the Gulp 

 greenhouses, was out with a "big 

 stick" for a plumber recently. The 

 suction pipe from the houses runs par- 

 allel to a water supply pipe for part of 

 the distance to the river, and, in tap- 

 ping for water to supply a new cottage, 

 a local plumber bored into this suction 

 pipe by mistake. When he found some- 

 thing was wrong, he left the hole open 

 ar.d hunted elsewhere for his pipe. 

 When the pump was started at the 

 greenhouses the result was not exactly 

 a success. It took some time to locate 

 the trouble, and meanwhile enough dirt 

 had got into the pipe to make the par- 

 ties concerned think the trouble is not 

 all over yet. In honor of Kansas day, 

 January 29, Mr. Gulp 's store had a win- 

 dow which attracted some attention. It 

 represented a dry Kansas prairie, across 

 which a prairie schooner was approach- 

 ing a dug-out whose owner stood at the 

 door. The schooner was crudely let- 

 tered, "Kansas or bust," and the at- 

 tention to detail and proportion had 

 been closely observed. At the back, and 

 separate, the Kansas seal was worked 

 out in Immortelles and green moss, 

 backed by the national flag. E. G.

The most profitless occupa- 

 tion in the world is to sit idly 

 thinking of what you would 

 do if you had another chance. 

 Forget what you have done 

 badly and do better in the 

 future. Suppose you have 

 had a bad lot of lily bulbs — 

 that's no reason you can't get 

 better. Perhaps, if you rea- 

 son it out, it was your own 

 fault. Be reasonable. Get the 

 best bulbs you can buy — 

 that's Horseshoe Brand Gi- 

 ganteum — take reasonable 

 care of them and you will 

 have lilies you can depend 

 upon. The reason why Horse- 

 shoe Brand are better than the 

 average is the most simple 

 thing in the world, and that 

 is primarily they cost more 

 money. It takes money to 

 get the best, but, when the 

 first cost of lily bulbs is small 

 compared to the value of a 

 good plant, what's the use in 

 trying to get an eight-cent 

 bulb for six cents? Pay the 

 price and get an article worth 

 while, and you will profit by 

 it. Cold Storage Giganteum 

 of Horseshoe Brand should 

 be ordered now for delivery 

 during 1911 — you need them 

 in your business — there is 

 nothing better for funeral 

 work and nothing more ap- 

 propriate. 



Write for prices, which are 

 reasonable. Catalogue free.
