KANSAS CITY. 



With all the vast area of space in 

 Convention Hall it seems from the great 

 number of entries in the different classes 

 that its capacity is going to be taxed 

 to hold them all. Unc-le John Thorpe an- 

 nounced today that it was no longer a 

 question of getting the flowers, but 

 rather a question of getting room for 

 them all. Especial attention is being 

 devoted to a pyramid of salvia. This 

 will be twenty-four feet high and capped 

 by a revolving electrical ball. A thou- 

 sand lineal feet of boxes 10x12 inches is 

 required to make the pyramid, the salvia 

 plants standing about twenty-four inches 

 high. At Director General Taggart's 

 request flowers from the Wliite House 

 greenhouses will be used in the fac- 

 simile WTiite House at the show. 



jMention of a swindler was made in 

 your St. Louis notes last week. The 

 same swindle was perpetrated here. The 

 man, who is very smooth, would enter 

 a flower store and order a funeral piece, 

 presenting a cheek for more than the 

 price. In this way Arthur Newell, who 

 is usually hard to beat, was taken in 

 for $10 and John Schneider contributed 

 $4 to the cause. The swindler was 

 caught, however, and his photo will ap- 

 pear next week. 



John Schneider says he lias bought a. 

 ten-acre farm and is going into a sum- 

 mer resort business. He thinks it \vi\\ 

 pay as well as the florists business, and 

 a fellow don't have to keep such a sharp 

 lookout for those bogus check fellows, 

 you know. f 



This market is a glut on cheap mums 

 and early in the week plenty of them 

 were sold at $3 per hundred. A few 

 dozen choice Appleton, grown by Vesey, 

 brought .$.3 per dozen, but they are not 

 far enough advanced to have much quan- 

 tity. 



The closer it gets to show week the 

 more apparent it becomes that chrysan- 

 themums in this locality will not be in 

 on time. While this will not cut much 

 figure as far as the show is concerned, 

 yet as a matter of local pride, we would 

 like to keep a few of those premiums in 

 Kansas City. 



This glorious weather is bringing them 

 along and we will have to be content 

 with hojjing for the best. 



John H. Vesey. 



Cleburne, Tex. — J. S. Boyd has 

 bought the Chas. Andrews greenhouses 

 and has added them to his own. Trade 

 is much better than last year.
