WICHITA, KANS. 



The Easter rush marked the begin- 

 ning of the spring trade in Wichita. 

 While reports of cool weather, etc., 

 came from more northerly places, the 

 Wichita florists were hustling to make 

 up for lost time caused by a late spring. 



Business so far is satisfactory in vol- 

 ume, and will slightly exceed previous 

 years. This is caused, not so much by 

 larger orders but more of them, which 

 indicates a favorable condition. About 

 the only item that shows a decrease is 

 the sale of sweet pea seed, which is 

 much less than last year. 



Mr. Ferdinand Keuchenmeister, the 

 "Riverside Florist," was recently ap- 

 pointed superintendent of the city 

 parks. For the last two years he has 

 been more or less connected with the 

 work, and well knows just where to 

 take hold. Mr. Keuchenmeister moved 

 from his Harry street location last year 

 to a new location near the parks, and 

 rebuilt a much larger and more substan- 

 tial establishment. 



Mr. H. L. Hunt, for a while with W. 

 H. Gulp & Co.. sold his interests last 

 June to W. H. Gulp and started new on 

 his own land near College Hill, asso- 

 ciating with him Mr. A. liT Marsh. They 

 have three houses in good location in a 

 growing part of the city, on the car 

 line to the cemeteries, with a good 

 chance to dispose of their surplus to 

 downtown florists. 



Tlie "Wichita Greenhouse Co." are 

 closing out their business, the manager, 

 Mr. Capps, being obliged to keep away 

 from the greenhouses on account of 

 rheumatism, and Mr. Gonklin, the pres- 

 ident, having other business interests 

 which take all his time. 



C. A. Rose, the veteran florist, re- 

 ports good business, with nothing spe- 

 cially exciting. 



Chas. P. Mueller and W. H. Gulp & 

 Co., who both do a good deal of their 

 own growing, are in their usual rush, 

 in the effort to do their own planting 

 in seasonable time, and at the same 

 time not neglect the demands of their 

 customers in the same line. 



The prospects for Decoration Day 

 trade are good, with promise of plenty 

 of outdoor material to relieve the de- 

 mand for greenhouse stock. X.
