KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



Conditions of the inarl\et last week 

 improved over those of the previous 

 week. Stock cleaned up better than was 

 expected. The quality of roses and car- 

 nations is improving, and bulbous stock 

 is the finest this city has seen for a 

 number of years. Roses now are more 

 plentiful in all colors, but carnation re- 

 ceipts have decreased in number. Cut 

 bulbous stock is also shortening in sup- 

 ply. Lilies are more prominent, but are 

 only of fair quality. Sweet peas are 

 too plentiful in all grades. 



Various Notes. 



W. .T. Barnes had his usual spring 

 decorative work at one of the large dry 

 goods stores. He used a large number 

 of palms, ferns, rhododendrons, azaleas, 

 lilacs and other plants. 



A. ElberfieM is building a residence 

 on his farm one mile west of Overland. 

 Later on he e.vpects to build some green- 

 houses. 



Henry Kusik has purchased a new car, 

 which he will use for pleasure as well 

 as for business. He is receiving heavy 

 consignments of rubinin and Easter 

 lilies from the east. 



Fred Fromholdt reports that funeral 

 work has been unusually heavy. He has 

 added to his force a Mr. Fisher, who 

 formerly was associated with the Alpha 

 Floral Co. 



T. .T. Noll & <'o. are receiving extra 

 fine Rainbow freesias. They are carry- 

 ing a large line of baskets and florists' 

 supplies. 



Roy Sturgeon is sending in fine butter- 

 fly sweet peas. His greenhouses are 

 filled with spring bedtling stock. Xext 

 year he will devote a large part of his 

 range to pot plants. 



Arthur Newell says it is remarkable 

 how pot plants continue to sell so well. 

 He had a week of heavy funeral work, 

 both in and out of town. 



.Tacob Hepting is cutting some prize- 

 winning carnations, which bring prices 

 above the average. 



The nurserymen will have a late start 

 planting nut stock this spring, as the 

 grniind has been frozen solid. 



The city department is starting to cut 

 a street through the TTnion cemetery 

 itist back of .Tames Payne's greenhouses. 

 The dust will make it difficult to keep 

 the glass clean. 



The W. Ti. Rock Flower Co. is sending 

 a nice lot of azaleas, lilacs and bloom- 

 ing plants to the store. W. .T. B.
