The Weekly Florists' Review, 



KANSAS QTY, MO. 



V^ous Items. 



At this writing the quest iuii is asked, 

 "Can we hold back the ehrysanthcmum 

 for the great exhibition?" The linger- 

 ing summer weather which prevailed 

 here all through October caused a little 

 uneasiness among the growers, inasmuch 

 as it brought everything on in full crop, 

 and roses were sold in large quantities 

 at very low prices. The sudden drop in 

 the temperature last Saturday night has 

 soothed the troubled mind, stock has im- 

 proved, prices advanced and overcoats 

 can now be worn with comfort. 



The writer was granted two hours' 

 leave from duty last week and he went 

 on a tour of inspection among the grow- 

 ers. 



The Humfeld Floral Co. are having 

 their usual good success with their car- 

 nations, but roses are a part failure same 

 as last year. Too much smoke and gas 

 have proved to them an expensive nui- 

 sance. This firm will dissolve partner- 

 ship shortly. W. H. Humfeld has pur- 

 chased a lot at 10th street and Hyland 

 avenue and is building a $4,000 resi- 

 dence. On the same property he will 

 build greenhouses and a flower store. 

 The location is a good one and only two 

 blocks from his present place of busi- 

 ness. 



E. S. Brown & Son speak with great 

 satisfaction of their fall trade. Their 

 stock is looking wejll, especially the houses 

 of mums. Mr. Brown, Sr., says mums 

 are selling better this year than any year 

 since he has been in business. 



Situated near our beautiful Elmwood 

 cemetery is the model establishment 

 owned by Albert Barbe. We never saw 

 his place looking as fine as it does now. 

 Mr. Barbe went to a big expense last 

 summer in enlarging his plant, giving 

 him twice the capacity of a year ago. 

 Mums, roses, carnations and violets are 

 doing well, and the indications are that 

 Mr. Barbe will get big revenue from his 

 stock this season. 



Interest in the coming flower show is 

 looking upward, and the premium list 

 has reached the sum of $3,500. Paul 

 Ducret gave $25 and W. J. Barnes $15 

 for window decorating prizes. 



Trade is excellent, with stock good 

 and plentiful. The decorations for the 

 October ball given at the Midland hotel 

 and the decorations for the Commercial 

 Club's banquet were arranged bv W. L. 

 Koek. H.'j. M.
