23 



Kaosans ^ho Visited Wichita August 5 to Form State Florists' Association. 



with a paid-up membership of nearly 

 fifty. A number of florists who were 

 unable to be present had signified their 

 desire to become members if an organ- 

 ization was effected, so that the mem- 

 bership was certain to receive further 

 increases. Plans for a winter show and 

 meeting were discussed and the whole 

 matter was referred to the board of 

 directors for consideration and recom- 

 mendations.

evident, causing prices to drop to old- 

 time levels. This does not mean that 

 trade has not held up to expectations. 

 It is reported to be remarkably good in 

 all shops. The low prices are the result 

 of overproduction in outdoor stock. 

 During the last two years prices of out- 

 door stock have been so high and profit- 

 able that they have encouraged in- 

 creased planting and added to the num- 

 ber of growers. 



Stock of all kinds is fine. Even the 

 rose cuts are of unusual quality for the 

 time of year and give promise of good 

 supply of fine quality for the entire 

 summer. 



Various' Notes. 



F. J. Baum, of Kingsley street, has 

 just returned from an automobile trip 

 through the eastern states. Mr. Baum 

 reports that greenhouse stock is none too 

 plentiful at the places he visited and 

 that there is much talk to the effect that 

 if the coal situation does not clear many 

 houses will be closed next winter. 



Frank Wexelimann has left for Cedar 

 Lake, Canada, where he will fish for 

 about two weeks. 



Felton's Flower Shop is being remod- 

 eled to afford more convenience. 



The Buffalo Floral Co. will open a new 

 shop, at Washington and Genesee 

 streets, in a few weeks. F. P. A.

The Market. 



The low level of the market held 

 steady until the latter part of last week, 

 when an oversupplv of asters became 



V 



The Market. 



The first summer slump of the season 

 has made its appearance; business has 

 taken on its usual summer dullness, 

 while production has almost doubled 

 during the last ten days. Great quan- 

 tities of especially fine gladioli are 

 being received daily and many poor 

 spikes are seen at the stores of the 

 various wholesalers; these poor flowers 

 might better have remained at home. 

 Hoses of excellent summer quality are 

 plentiful. Carnations are on the wane. 

 Asters are good and are improving in 

 quality and quantity daily. There are 



large quantities of various outdoor, 

 hardy flowers, which at present find 

 little demand. Prices are low and large 

 buyers have things their own way these 

 days. 



Among the retailers things also look 

 dull and quiet. Vacation time is here 

 and the opportunity for rest and rec- 

 reation which the present season gives 

 us is being taken advantage of. 



However, with the growers conditions 

 are reversed; they are anxious to finish 

 planting. 



Various Notes. 



The outlook for fuel is not at all 

 encouraging. The bituminous coal sit- 

 uation in this territory is just as much 

 strained as in other localities. After 

 the priority orders on the lake ship- 

 ments are completed — about September 

 21 — conditions for local coal move- 

 ments should become more normal. At 

 present coal can be obtained at $10 per 

 net ton from the brokers. 



Henry Meuschke, Mrs. Meuschke and 

 their daughter left Saturday, July 31, 

 on a trip to the coast. They expected to 

 be away for six weeks. Mr. Meuschke, 

 who is the proprietor of the Saxonwald 

 Greenhouses, stated that, while he is in 

 the midst of the largest collieries and 

 also wagon mines, he is unable to obtain 

 coal at a less price than $9.50 per net 

 ton. 



Miss Katherine Drewes, daughter of 

 William Drewes, Homestead, spent her 

 vacation visiting her relatives at Riv- 

 erside, Cal. 



Harry Langhans, of McGrath & Lang- 

 hans, will join the large Pittsburgh 

 party for the Cleveland convention. 



Samuel McClements and his family 

 are enjoying their summer home at 

 Alexandria Bay, N. Y., among the 

 Thousand Islands. 



The outing and field day of the Pitts- 

 burgh Florists' and Gardeners' Club 

 was spent on the beautiful estates of 

 Sewickley Heights. 



The Blind Floral Co., of which Ed- 

 ward Blind is proprietor, has purchased
