The Market. 



Much to the delight of everyone, busi- 

 ness is holding up well through the hot 

 weather and every bit of available 

 stock is being used. The weather has 

 been so extremely warm and dry that 

 much of the garden stock has suffered. 

 A heavy rain and about thirty-six hours 

 of moderate temperature, with the ad- 

 vent of August, gave outdoor plants a 

 new lease on life. Gladioli from Colo- 

 rado are being shipped in, as there is not 

 half enough of the home-grown. Whole- 

 sale prices on gladioli are $6, $8 and $10 

 per hundred, according to quality. 

 Eoses, which are not plentiful, range 

 from $4 to $10 per hundred. California 

 asters are being received by some of 

 the retailers, but the long journey 

 makes them uncertain as to quality, 

 though it can be said that some of the 

 shipments have been remarkably good, 

 considering the distance. Some tube- 

 roses have been received from Texas 

 and these have been in excellent condi- 

 tion. 



Various Notes. 



The wholesalers are busily engaged 

 right now in house-cleaning. Noll, Pine- 

 hurst and Kusik are having their offices 

 and workrooms painted and renovated 

 throughout. 



Ed Humfeld has begun to excavate 

 for three greenhouses, near Independ- 

 ence, Mo. This was to have started 

 July 1, but it was impossible to secure 

 workmen and material for the buildings. 



Among the recent visitors were Mrs. 

 E. C. Hinz, Leavenworth, Kan., and Eoy 

 Murray, of Olathe, Kan. 



The Pinehurst Floral Co. has been of- 

 fering some excellent sweet peas, which 

 have sold as fast as they were received. 



J. G. Eggleston has bought three 

 small houses from E. G. Cheesman, of 

 Eosedale, Kan., who sold out and is pre- 

 paring to go to California. Mr. Eggles- 

 ton intended to build some additions to 

 his property at 4314 Pearl street, but 

 when he found these houses for sale he 

 decided to move them and make them 

 into two houses, one of which will be 

 about 13x73 feet and the other 20x90 

 feet. 



Mr. and Mrs. Harry W. Blake, of 

 Pleasant Hill, Mo., were in the city re- 

 cently on their way homo from Monc- 

 gaw Springs, Mo., where they had been 

 spending a vacation. 



Leon H. Archias, Jr., of Sedalia, Mo., 

 was in the city two days last week in 

 the interest of an exhibit he will have

William Day, who has had many years ' 

 experience in his line, is now in charge 

 of the pot plant section of the Pine- 

 hurst Floral Co., at Pleasant Hill, Mo. 

 This will be one of the important de- 

 partments of the business from now on. 

 About 2,500 feet of glass will be added 

 this fall. New employees are being 

 added in all departments and prepara- 

 tions are being made for a big fall busi- 

 ness. J. E. K. 



Newton, Kan. — Cliarles J. Reeves, 

 who has been in the market gardening 

 business on a small scale, is erecting 

 a greenhouse 20x100 feet. 



Beatrice, Neb.— The Dole Floral Co. 

 will increase the capacity of its range 

 about twenty-five per cent. Two new 

 greenhouses, each 36x100 feet, are to be 

 erected and an extension, fifty-four feet 

 long, is to be added to one of the pres- 

 ent houses. The new work will be 

 rushed to completion as rapidly as pos- 

 sible.
