The WeeMy Florists' Review. 



Mat 22, 1902. 



KANSAS CITY. MO. 



Springtime has taken its departure 

 and real summer weather came upon us 

 ■before we were prepared for it. Stock 

 is beginning to show the effects of the 

 heat and roses now look like two cents. 

 Carnations continue to come in abun- 

 dantly and of excellent quaHty. Out- 

 door flowers have been of little com- 

 mercial value so far this season and 

 there will be nothing of any account for 

 Decoration Day trade unless rain comes 

 soon. Business keeps up satisfactorily 

 and enormous quantities of stock is be- 

 ing sold at moderate prices. Host of the 

 Kjtailers are still buying heavily from 

 Chicago and are well pleased both with 

 the quality and prices. The first pa^onias 

 of the season seen in this market came 

 from Chicago and retailed at $1 per 

 dozen. 



At this season the plant men are work- 

 ing their entire force of help at the sum- 

 mer bedding, and there will be nothing 

 in plants left unsold two weeks from 

 now. R. S. Brown & Son, who do the 

 leading business in this line, report an 

 increase of twenty-five per cent, in sales 

 over last year, and were obliged to buy 

 thousands of plants in order to supply 

 their immense trade. Kansas City is 

 growing and expanding rapidly and this 

 spring saw the opening of several new 

 streets and the erection of some hand- 

 some private residences, which explains 

 the unusually large demand for bedding 

 plants. 



The Humfeld Floral Company will dis- 

 solve partnership in June, and Ed Hum- 

 feld has purchased a lot at sixth and 

 Grove streets where he will soon put up 

 12,000 feet of glass and a store room. 

 The location is a desirable one and he 

 should do well there. William Humfeld 

 will continue the business at the old 

 stand, which was established seven years 

 ago. 



Albert Barbe, who never fails to 

 "catch on" when a good bargain is of- 

 fered him, has recently bought the vacant 

 property adjoining his place, which fjives 

 him sutlicicnt ground for 10.000 feet more 

 glass, a dwelling house and a salesroom. 

 Mr. Barbe is traveling the prosperous 

 route and he will be able to realize hand- 

 somely on his investment at some future 

 time. 



Carl Staech, one of Mr. Newell 's faith- 

 ful employes, has tendered his resigna- 

 tion and will leave town shortly to en- 

 gage in another occupation among the 

 Choctaws in the Indian Territory. 



We have had two visitors the past 

 week, C. L. Knohe, a representative of 

 the Seiton Mfg. Co., and A. L. Vaughan, 

 hustler for E. H. Hunt. H. J. M. 



G.vLVESTON, Tex. — Mrs. Chas. Eickholt, 

 accompanied by her youngest son, started 

 for Europe, May 14. She went by water 

 to New York and sailed from there on 

 May 22 for Hamburg. The trip is made 

 for the benefit of her health, which has 

 been quite poor of late. She hopes to 

 return well and strong in the early fall. 

 During her absence her foreman, Mr. 

 Herman Schwarz, will be in charge of the 

 business and Mr. Eickholt will attend to 

 the correspondence. 



Geemantown. Pa. — Thos. Meehan & 

 Sons will establish an office at Dresher- 

 town. Pa., in connection with their nur- 

 series there, which will be in charge of 

 Thos. B. Meehan, and after July 1st all 

 wholesale business will be transacted at 

 Dreshertown.
