The Market. 



So far, this month has been a sur- 

 prise in the amount of business done, be- 

 ing ahead of July for a corresponding 

 number of days. If it keeps up at this 

 r:.te, August will stand out different 

 from other years. The long drought 

 was broken August 15, when a heavy 

 downpour of rain continued for several 

 hours all over Kansas City and vicinity. 

 A general rain from Great Bend, Kan., 

 west to the Colorado line and local rains 

 in other parts of the state have been re- 

 ported. Growers are not the only ones 

 who will be benefited by the rain. All 

 through this section the ground has been 

 so dry that farmers could not plow. 

 Some seed has already been put in and 

 other crops will be sown immediately. 



Stock is getting a little better now 

 and will show improvement right along. 

 Home-grown asters are here, but are 

 rather small on account of the heat. 

 They are $2 and $3 per hundred. Gla- 

 dioli are $8 and $10 per hundred and 

 Eussells, exceedingly good, are from $6 

 to $10 per hundred. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Noll visited the 

 state fair at Sedalia, Mo., several days 

 last week. 



The South Side Floral Co. has been 

 bringing in some unusually good gla- 

 dioli. All through the hot spell T. J. 

 Noll worked all day and a good part of 

 each night to keep his plants from dry- 

 ing up and his efforts have been re- 

 warded with a fine crop of blooms when 

 most needed. Mr. Noll also has some 

 good asters. He says that prospects 

 were never better for fall flowers than 

 at this time. He has a fine crop of car- 

 nations and mums now on the way and 

 expects to show some choice specimens 

 when they are matured. 



P. A. Manson, of the Pinehurst Floral 

 Co., is going to Detroit. He will make 

 the trip by motor. 



J. E. Morichard, of S. S. Pennock Co., 

 Philadelphia, called on the trade last 

 week. J. £• K.

The Market. 



Production is just about equal to the 

 demand. With conservative use of stock 

 the retailers are able to sell at a good 

 margin of profit, undoubtedly better 

 than they have been able to do for some 

 months. The growers are also reaping

a good revenue from their crops, their 

 stock wholesaling from fifty to 100 per 

 cent over the prices of last year. The 

 failure of the aster crop has had much 

 to do in keeping up prices. The crop 

 is less than fifty per cent, but the cut 

 sells for fifty to seventy-five per cent 

 over last year's prices. 



Gladioli are the ruling flowers. The 

 cut during the week has been of good 

 variety and quality, most of them sell- 

 ing at $4 and $5 per hundred, while the 

 same grades of stock sold a year ago for 

 as low as $1 per hundred. 



Roses are plentiful, most of them 

 showing improvement in the size of 

 flower. Locally grown white Killarney 

 is all that could be expected. American 

 Beauties are also fine.
