The Market 



Bright, warm weather the past week 

 has started things going again. There 

 is a large amount of stock to choose 

 from. Roses, carnations, sweet peas, 

 violets and lilac are plentiful and of 

 •choice quality. Tulips and other bul- 

 bous stock are coming in and are selling 

 well. Prices are about the same. There 

 is very little sale for anything but choice 

 stock. The implement dealers having 

 left, the lumber dealers have come, 

 thereby giving us more work. Collec- 

 tions are easier this year than for a 

 oumber of years. Good prices are asked 

 and cheerfully paid for good stuff, while 

 poor stuff is either given away or thrown 

 ■on the trash pile. 



Various Notes. 



W. H. Humfeld, who has been con- 

 fined to his home by sickness, is able to 

 be at his greenhouses again. 

 _ The foreign bulb growers' representa- 

 tives have been among the growers here

 quick succession. 



The Alpha Floral Co. is doing an im- 

 mense business lately. Their store is al- 

 ways full and it is rumored that they 

 intend to move shortly into a much 

 Jarger place. 



Simon Humfeld, of Muncie, Ind., has 

 been visiting relatives here and inciden- 

 tally looking up a location, with the 

 view of establishing a wholesale plant 

 in this vicinity. Mr. Humfeld expressed 

 liimself as well pleased with the outlook 

 here and claims to have fallen in love 

 ■with our Missouri climate and people. 



Miss J. E. Murray reports business 

 as brisk the past week and has had some 

 large funeral orders. 



W. L. Rock filled an order for fun- 

 eral work from our neighboring city, 

 Leavenworth, last week, which footed up 

 a couple of hundred dollars. 



Miss Dalley reports business better 

 than a week ago, collections good and 

 the outlook encouraging. 



Geo. M. Kellogg, of Pleasant HiU, is 

 sending in some fine stock these days, 

 principally roses, and has some very fine 

 cyclamens on exhibition at his store 

 here.
