ida and Cuba. Arthur "Weatherwax 

 will be in charge of the store. 



Peter Keinberg has been under the 

 doctor's care for several days, suffering 

 with a severe cold. 



The Schiller north side store was 

 opened two years agb yesterday, Feb- 

 ruary 3, 1913, and has fully justified 

 the undertaking. 



The trade interests on East Sixty- 

 third street are well taken care of by 

 J H. McNeilly and A. F. Keenan, 

 each of whom operates two retail stores 

 within a stretch of four blocks. Mr. 

 McNeilly 's west store, where one of 

 the Fisher brothers is employed, seems 

 to be rapidly increasing the quantity 

 of stock handled. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 

 did not plant Matchless last season, 

 but has received 10,000 rooted cuttings 

 from the Cottage Gardens Co., Queens, 

 N. Y., to go on the benches for 1915-16. 



Out in Eogers Park there are many 

 prosperous, contented growers. Nick 

 Thinnes is one of them. He has five 

 acres of land on which the greenhouses 

 and dwelling stand, for which he re- 



cently was offered $5,000 per acre, but 

 it did not tempt him. Besides the liv- 

 ing for the family, he always cleans 

 up better than interest on $25,000, 

 sometimes $2,500 in a good year. 



J. A. Budlong bought two lots of 

 Ophelia rose plants last March, one 

 lot from the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, 

 and the other from the South Park 

 Floral Co., New Castle, 1,800 plants in 

 all. They have given so good an ac- 

 count of themselves that three full 

 houses will be given to the variety for 

 next season. 



A. Lange has received considerable 

 free advertising in the real estate sec- 

 tions of the daily papers as the result 

 of his lease of space in the new Stev- 

 ens building. The building still is some 

 time from completion, but most of the 

 space is sold to those catering to wom- 

 en's interests. 



The contract for the decorating for 

 the cement show has been given to 

 the George Wittbold Co. Boxwood and 

 bay trees will be used. 



Henry Wittbold had the job of deco- 



rating the Coliseum for the automo- 

 bile show. 



Visitors: I. S. Hendrickson, Floral 

 Park, N. Y.; Ralph M. Ward, New 

 York; G. Van Bochove, of Kalamazoo, 

 Mich., returning from a trip to Florida, 

 where fishing was good; H. C. Eeeser, 

 of Springfield, 0.; C. W. Scott, New 

 York. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Reports from the wholesale and re- 

 tail trade appear to be quite satisfac- 

 tory. Business has been good and 

 prices on cut flowers have advanced 

 over those of last week, except on the 

 better grade of roses, which are plen- 

 tiful. There is a scarcity of short and 

 medium roses and the wholesalers find 

 it hard to fill orflers for these grades. 

 The quality of the roses is better than 

 usual for this time of the year. Fu- 

 neral work is responsible for the short- 

 ago of lower grade roses. Carnations 

 are coming in somewhat heavily, but 

 are well taken care of at fair prices.
