The Market. 



Stock shows continued improvement, 

 although rosea ^re not yet equal to what 

 florists would like to have them or to 

 what they will be later in the season. 

 More are coming in steadily. Asters 

 and gladioli are almost gone for this sea- 

 son, with just a few late ones coming in. 

 Garden flowers of all kinds are almost 

 a thing of the past for this year. The 

 asters and dahlias in this part of the 

 country were not equal to those of other 

 years, due to the extreme heat and dry- 

 ness. Carnations are coming in a few 

 at a time, but they are short-stemmed 

 and still small. Some of the retailers 

 have been receiving chrysanthemums 

 from California and have been able to 

 use them in one way or another, but 

 are not enthusiastic over the shipments, 

 as the blooms have to be so immature 

 at the time of cutting that they do not 

 come out well at the end of the journey. 



Prices for last week were: Eussell, 

 Columbia and Premier, $8 to $12 per 

 hundred; Ophelia, $4 to $8 per hundred. 

 Carnations were $3 per hundred. The 

 short supply of asters remaining brings 

 $2 per hundred and gladioli $6 per hun- 

 dred. 



Various Notes. 



J. A. Harzfeld, formerly city coun- 

 selor of Kansas City, who held the rank 

 of captain in the military intelligence di- 

 vision of the general staff and acted as 

 one of the military attaches at Arch- 

 angel, has returned to Kansas City. In 

 recounting some of his experiences in 

 Russia, Mr. Harzfeld said that while 

 he was walking down a street in Arch- 

 angel last May a man called out to him, 

 "What are "you doing here, Kansas 

 City?" The man was Captain Oren J. 

 Kose, a British aviator. Captain Rose 

 is a brother-in-law of Fred Fromhold. 

 Captain Rose left here in 1915 to join 

 the British aviation forces and has been 

 in Russia for some time. Mr. Fromhold 

 says that he is still in Archangel. 



Hugo Neff expects to hold the formal 

 opening of his new flower shop, the 

 Muehlebach, September 29. The shop 

 will be one of the most attractive in the 

 city. All of the interior will be white. 

 • Among the visitors in the city last 

 week were: Mrs. J. J. Brady, Frank- 

 fort, Kan.; Mr. and Mrs. R. Moss, Vi- 

 nita, Okla.; W. J. Baker, Fort Worth, 

 Tex.; Mr. Robinson, Emporia, Kan-, 

 and Mr. King, Burlington, Kan.

The Market. 



Each week now sees a larger quantity 

 of flowers coming into the market, and 

 a larger variety for customers to select 

 from. The early yellow chrysanthe- 

 mums have made their appearance. 

 Dahlias are plentiful and of fine qual- 

 ity. Cosmos is coming into the market 

 in larger quantities. Asters are also 

 plentiful. The general run of prices is 

 low compared with the high price level 

 all last season. 



Various Notes. 



H. A. Strobell finds business still a 

 little quiet. The end of the dull season 

 is at hand, however, and most Newark 

 florists look for a fine fall season.

Fred Philips, of Philips Bros., 938 

 Broad street, has returned from his va 

 cation, which was spent at North As- 

 bury Park, on the Jersey coast. He 

 spent considerable time casting for big 

 sea fish and succeeded in catching an 

 8-pound striped bass, besides a number 

 of smaller fish. He reports that the fish- 

 ing season along the coast proved un 

 usually poor, although it started out 

 well. ' B. B. M.
