. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 908 The American Florist, Aov. i6. Kansas City. BUSINESS LIGHT. Trade during- the first part of the week was decidedly slow and transactions were not very numerous. A change for the better came on Saturday and the us- ual amount of business was done. It appears that while prosperity abounded with everyone that flowers were con- sidered an absolute necessity but when conditions became as they are at present it was found that they were one luxury that could be very well done without and consequently the trade suffered. The market is well stocked with every kind of good seasonable material, chrysanthe- mums, of course, being the most im- portant feature. Some splendid Ameri- can Beauty roses were noted during the week as well as an especially good lot of teas. Carnations are better and the demand has increased considerably. Vio- lets are not plentiful and few are satis- factory. Green goods are more plentiful. NOTES. Geo. M. Kellogg attended the flower show in Chicago last week, taking with him two of his most trusted employes at the Pleasant Hill plant. Some fine Minnehaha roses were noted at ills store as well as a nice showing of orchids. The first regular meeting this season of The Missouri Volley Horticultural So- ciety, was held at the Coates House No- vember 16. A paper read by Geo. Hol- singer, Rosedale, Kans., was one item of interest. L. A. Goodman of this city tendered his report of the Horticultural interests noted at the Jamestown Expo- sition. Mrs. Martha D. Chandler of Ran- dolph, also had a paper. The Alpha Floral Co. seems to be hand- ling the chrysanthemum crop of the town, the windows being completely filled with them. The special sales which were conducted each day kept them pretty well cleaned up. The store of the Wm. L. Rock Flower Co. was especially attractive last week. THE BEST Bug Killer and Bloom Saver.
