KANSAS CITY. MO. 



We are gradually emerging from a 

 -most prosperous season into the inevita- 

 ble summer dullness, and after the 

 Glorious Fourth early closing and vaca- 

 tions will be in order. While we ex- 

 perienced a few veiy quiet days in June, 

 _yet the amount of business was equal to 

 that of a year ago for the same month. 

 In the absence of decorative work we 

 were able to dispose of all good salable 

 stock over the counter and for the ever 

 ■constant demand for funeral designs. 

 Young people are still "pairing off" and 

 evidently doing so without the services 

 of the florist. 



We are having regular Colorado weath- 

 er and there is quite a contrast between 

 the atmospheric conditions of the pres- 

 ent and those of a year ago. Last sum- 

 mer at this time we slept on the lawn, 

 but at this writing it is cool enough for 

 a light fire. Bain has fallen here every 

 day for a month and vegetation is mak- 

 ing wonderful growth. Plenty of good 

 outdoor material is to be had. Sweet 

 peas are picked with 12-inch stems and 

 retail at $1 per 100. The drop in the 

 temperature seems to have favored the 

 growers, who are still sending us a pret- 

 ty good supply of roses and carnations. 



We notice that some necessary changes 

 have been made at Mr. Kellogg 's store 

 on Grand avenue since Fred Weber as- 

 sumed the management. The store front 

 has been newly painted and the large 

 Avindow is banked with finely grown Bos- 

 ton ferns and vases of long-stemmed 

 Beauty roses iu an -attractive manner 

 which cannot fail to draw trade. Mr. 

 Kellogg is supplying the market with a 

 select grade of roses, and we never be- 

 fore saw his stock so good at this sea- 

 son of the year. 



W. L. Eock believes that every florist 

 should make some improvements in his 

 place every year and next month will 

 renovate his Walnut street store, build a 

 conservatory in the rear for palms and 

 ferns and also an office for himself and 

 stenographer. Mr. Eock is making a 

 novel window display of garden flowers 

 and the Auratum lily. 



W. J. Barnes, of Euclid avenue, has 

 purchased the vacant property adjoining 

 iis place and will soon tear down his 

 old greenhouses and cover the entire 

 space with a modern range of glass. 



Billy Bastian, Mr. Kellogg 's right- 

 hand man at Pleasant Hill, spent a few 

 days in the city last week. He was wear- 

 ing his best smile and a new dress suit 

 and looked tine. While passing around 

 the cigars Billy told us that he believed 

 le could travel through life best in 

 double harness, and he left for his home 

 with our best wishes and a beautiful 

 Kansas City bride. H. J. M. 



Denver, Colo. — Geo. C. Brenkert has 

 found business so good that he will put 

 up 3,000 feet of glass this summer. He 

 is planting 5,000 mums. Mr. Brenkert 

 now controls the establishment formerly 

 •conducted by Brenkert & Young on South 

 University Ave.
