JOHNSON & STOKES, 217-219 Market St., PHILADLLPHIA, PA. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



Johu H. Vesey, brother of the popular 

 judge of Fort WajTie, Ind., with 5vhom 

 lie has had nine years of excellent expe- 

 rience, has taken the range of houses 

 lately occupied by Mr. Short, of Kansas 

 City, Kan., and intends to devote the en- 

 tire plant to carnation growing for 

 the local 5vholesale trade. He has al- 

 ready the place in apple-pie order and 

 is cutting some fine roses from the stock 

 left by his predecessor. Next season 

 there will be only carnations, and he in- 

 tends to give a good deal of attention to 

 rooted cuttings of the best varieties. 



Mr. Vesey is a young man, unmarried, 

 of good habits and splendid training, and 

 he gives promise of a successful career. 

 Paul Ducret is a native of Geneva, 

 Switzerland, and like all his people 

 makes an excellent American citizen. Mr. 

 Ducret has been here nearly twenty years 

 and is doing a good retail business. His 

 four greenhouses at Union Cemetery are 

 devoted entirely to his local and cemetery 

 trade, and he grows about everything he 

 needs. 



Vanheinsbergen & Co., near Budd Park, 

 have about 0,000 square feet of glass, 

 where they grow plants largely for the 

 retailers of the city. They contemplate 

 an addition of two houses next year, and 

 the new partner. Mr. Good Kolp, will add 

 considerably to the financial possibilities 

 of the firni. Mr. Van. has had experi- 

 ence in Fairmount and Troost parks and 

 evidenth' knows his business. 



The Humfeld Floral Co., corner of 

 9th street and Highland avenue, has con- 

 ducted a large retail business from that 

 center during the past ten years, having 

 25,000 square feet of glass heavily 

 stocked with everything for the local 

 trade. 



The Humfeld brothers constitute the 

 firm, but on July 1, 1902, Mr. E. A. 

 Humfeld, the junior member, will sever 

 his connection with the company and 

 start a business of his own in one of the 

 best residence sections of the city. He 

 will build four modern houses, 25x100, 

 as a modest beginning, ilr. Humfeld is 

 a young married man of 33 years and a 

 great favorite 5vith the buying public. 



The elder brother will continue the 

 original business at the old stand. 



One of the oldest florists here is John 

 Schneider, who now does a large retail 

 trade on Walnut street, but at one time 

 had the finest range of greenhouses in 

 Missouri, out near the Rock & Heite es- 

 tablishment, of 5vhich I told you in a 

 former letter. Mr. Schneider knows 

 something of the "ups and downs" of 

 this precarious business, but is still "in 

 the ring" and apparently as full of fight 

 as ever. * 



Close to him is a new-comer, Mr. Ross, 

 an Englishman, too, as, in fact, are 25 

 per cent of the citizens and 50 per cent 

 of the florists here. 



1 visited the nucleus of a fine enter- 

 prise lajt week, about seven miles from 

 the city. Ten acres of the finest soil, 

 four fine modern greenhouses and a 

 charming locality are the l>eginning of 

 the Rock & Heite wholesale business. Al- 

 readv from their new houses they are 

 cutting heavily. Next year the range 

 will be doubled. 



In a former letter R. S. Brown & Son 

 were credited with only 25,000 square 

 feet of glass. This should have read 

 55,000 square feet, as the new range 

 of four houses built this year give them 

 the larger space as above. They do quit> 

 a wholesale business here, especially in 

 roses. And their shipments of plants, 

 through catalogues, aggregate a verj- 

 large number yearly. 



Arthur NcwcU has plans completed 

 for a $2,500 improvement in his store 

 on Twelfth street, including a complete 

 change in the front and sides of the 

 place, with an abundance of plate glass, 

 modern styles of ceiling, floors and con- 

 servatory, "and a nOA-el system of electric 

 lighting. 



Samuel Murray contemplates the ad- 

 dition of about " 10,000 square feet of 

 glass to his present growing facilities. 

 He is a practical plant grower and will 

 show grand results in time for the great 

 show of 1902. AtT.STix. 



Malta, 0. — W. C. Scovell reports trade 

 as very good the past year, an increase 

 of 35 per cent over the year previous. He 

 has increased his greenhouse area about 

 50 per cent and thinks the outlook for 

 a good season is better than ever. Prices 

 range about 25 per cent better. 



Columbia City, Ixd.— D. C. Noble and 

 O. H. Diff'endarfer, composing the firm of 

 D. C. Noble & Co., have dissolved part- 

 nership by mutual consent. The busi- 

 ness will "be continued by D. C. Noble 

 under his individual name.
