[Concluded from page 128.] 



Various Notes. 



A. Arnold has four good houses well 

 filled with bedding plants, mostly 

 geraniums in 3-inch pots. Two-year-old 

 roses in pots are grown in fine shape 

 and such stock should find a ready sale, 

 as no other florist seems to grow them 

 here. Mr. Arnold sells all his output in 

 the city market. He runs two wagons 

 in the spring season. No cut flowers 

 are grown, except calla lilies, which are 

 extra large. They are grown on raised 

 benches. Mr. Arnold has been ill for 

 the last five weeks. 



Judging by the lumber and green- 

 house material that are piled up in large 

 stacks, R. S. Brown & Son are going to 

 build more greenhouses this summer at 

 the Independence range. 



Miss Jennie Murray had a nice show 

 window of blooming plants last week. 



D. Freudenthal, who usually believes 

 in maintaining good prices on cut flow- 

 ers, last Saturday decided that he would 

 not be outdone by his neighbors, so he 

 stocked up heavily on carnations and 

 2 cents was the cry. 



The Flower Shop, formerly at 

 Eleventh and Main streets, has opened 

 a large store between the walls of the 

 burned Ridge building. They are mak- 

 ing quite a large display on the out- 

 side. This location is near two of the 

 best banks and on a busy street, so 

 there is no reason why this ought not 

 to be a first-class stand. 



We notice that the Alpha Floral Co. 's 

 show window shows some new and ef- 

 fective artistic touches, since the new 

 decorator has taken things in hand. 



The Rock Flower Co. 's show window 

 is always good to look at, as good taste 

 is displayed here in decorating. 



Samuel Murray never stands back for 

 any of his competitors. His window is 

 always full of rich stock, well arranged.

Chillicothe, Mo. — R. L. Isherwood re- 

 cently shipped a geranium to H. Can- 

 nell & Sons, of Swanley, Kent, Eng- 

 land, which arrived in good condition 

 and will be srrown by the English 

 nurserymen, who promise to notify 

 Mr. Isherwood how it compares with 

 the varieties grown there. 



Charles City, la. — M. H. Wetherbee, 

 on upper Main street, has begun the 

 erection of an addition of two green- 

 houses, each 27x123, and expects that 

 they will be completed by May 1. A 

 new steam boiler will be installed. Mr. 

 Wetherbee's business was founded 

 twenty-two years ago and has been 

 marked by a steady, substantial in- 

 crease.

 and every customer of a square 

 deal, for we intend that every 

 transaction shall be so satisfactory
