The Weekly Florists' Review* 



AcauBT 4, 1004. 



WICHITA, KANS. 



Wichita was visited hj a flood, early 

 in July, such as was never heard of here 

 before. At least seventy-uve per cent of 

 the city was under water, all the way 

 from six inches to four feet deep. Wa- 

 ter covered the parks, killing all bloom- 

 ing plants except the cannas and at least 

 thirty per cent of the shrubs are killed. 

 F. Kuechenmeister, whose greenhouses 

 are located near the park, suffered the 

 loss of his whole stock, water being three 

 feet deep in his houses and field. His 

 loss is heavy, as he did not save any- 

 thing. He lost 10,000 fine carnations 

 ready to be benched, 2,500 young roses, 

 and shrubs of all kinds. He has had 

 fine success with carnations. His soil 

 seems to be just suited for them, but 

 in some places the top soil is all washed 

 off. C. A. Eose lost all his stock, prin- 

 cipally chrysanthemums and summer 

 blooming plants. W. H. Gulp suffered 

 the least, although the street was like a 

 river in front of his place. A. T. Buck- 

 ridge, in the north part of the city, lost 

 roses and carnations. 



In the eastern part of the city, Chas. 

 P. Mueller had just purchased a fine 

 piece of land, expecting to move his 

 buildings, and had planted all his sum- 

 mer and winter blooming plants, some 

 25,000 or 30,000, with the best prospect 

 he has ever had, yet all were taken in 

 forty-eight hours ' time. He has given up 

 building for this year and possibly long- 

 er, as it will take from one to two 

 years to make up his loss. He was en- 

 joying a splendid local as well as ship- 

 ping business. M. 



TORONTO. 



The Market 



The cut flower market has picked up 

 considerably during the last week and 

 the supply has correspondingly decreased. 

 Hoses and carnations are very short, 

 while asters are only in fair supply as 

 yet. Sweet peas are good and the sup- 

 ply about equal to demand. Lilies of all 

 kinds are scarce. 



Varioos Notes. 



The Toronto delegation to the Ottawa 

 convention will be large unless present 

 indications are astray. The Toronto flor- 

 ists should make as good a showing as the 

 east did at the Toronto convention. Every- 

 body go, and make a success of our an- 

 nual Canadian Horticultural Association 

 convention. Nothing is more needed to 

 make the convention a success than your 

 presence at Ottawa. D. J.
