The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



June JO, 1004. 



KANSAS QTY. 



Florists in Kansas City have had a 

 good spring business. Greenhouse men 

 have had the best planting and -bedding 

 trade they ever enjoyed, even if we 

 have had lots of rain, which has kepi 

 them back somewha^r-— fi«t they are 

 about caught up and everyone is happy. 

 They are all very nearly sold out of 

 bedding stock. 



A. F. Barbe is building six more 

 greenhouses, adding 10,000 feet of glass 

 " to his place, which will give him the 

 largest plant in town. He will devote 

 it all to cut flowers. He is also put- 

 ting up a first-class two-story office and 

 show room which is to be the best in 

 town. 



The cut flower market is very unsatis- 

 factory. At present the weather is 

 against getting good stock two days in 

 succession. Boses all come in open, es- 

 pecially American Beauties. Carnations 

 are small. 



There is talk that there will not be a 

 flower show this fall in Convention Hall, 

 if there is any at all. 



All the downtown florists are talking 

 about vacation, some to go to the woods 

 and others talk about convention and the 

 World 's Fair. L. M. S. 



Indianapolis, Ind.— H. H. Tall has 

 been appointed florist at Garfield park, 

 vice Henry Stanley. 



West Point, Neb. — On June 7 J. F. 

 Roseufield's peonies were just beginning 

 to bloom, fully two weeks later than usu- 

 al. He has some very choice new sorts 

 and had intended to send some blooms 

 to the Peony Society's show in New York, 

 but the show developed before the blooms 

 did. 



Clinton, Mo. — A. Woerner says this 

 has been a very successful season for him 

 even if the weather has been very bad. 

 He will build a house 20x(55 this season, 

 of the best material and top and side ven- 

 tilation. Mr. Woerner says he has been 

 in the trade forty years and expects to 

 stay in it another forty. 



We are in receipt of the Proceedings 

 of the Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the
