KANSAS QTY. 



The Market 



A week of snow and intense cold has 

 made things look very gloomy here and 

 stock, especially roses, is of very poor 

 quality and prices are weak. Some 

 good stuff is coming in from outside 

 points and prices are averaging good. 

 Carnations are looking well. Some fine 

 Enchantress and Lawson are to be seen. 

 Tulips are more plentiful, while hya- 

 cinths, freesias and valley are coming in 

 and are looking fine. Violets and sweet 

 peas are at their best. An unusually 

 large number of funerals the past week 

 has about cleaned up all stock and 

 there are enough advance orders to take 

 all the stock in sight. 



Various Notes. 



Your correspondent visited the green- 

 houses of A. F. Barbe last week and 

 noted the big improvements that have 

 been added to his extensive establish- 

 ment. A large, two-story building has 

 been erected, with an oifice in the lower 

 part and the upper part used as a 

 dwelling for the night fireman. There 

 are two rose houses 25x147 filled with 

 Bride, Maid, Ivory and Goldsn Gate 

 which are looking fine; four houses for 

 carnations 20x80 each in which there 

 are some excellent Lawson. Enchantress, 

 Flamingo and Jubilee. The other houses 

 are filled with bedding stock, in charge 

 of Sam Willis. 



Ed. Ellsworth, manager for G. M. Kel- 

 logg, is confined to his home by the 

 grippe. His place is ably filled by 

 P. G. Bradbury, assistant manager. 



Ed. Bunyar, of Independence, is send- 

 ing in some of the finest violets seen 

 here for some time, which find a ready 

 Bale. 



It is rumored that a new firm is 

 about to locate here. A lease on an acre 

 of ground has been secured on the south 

 Bide, on which will be erected immediate- 

 ly four houses 30x122, to be devoted to 

 roses. Later other houses will be added 

 as needed. The new firm ^ill be known 

 as the Kansas City Cut Flower Co. 



The W, L. Rock Flower Co. is showing 

 some ver\' good stock. Mr. Rock reports 

 a very large business the past week, prin- 

 cipally funeral work, and has already 

 booked some very large orders for wed- 

 dings and receptions the coming week. 



John Schneider, on Walnut street, re- 

 ports business good. 



The Misses Dalley are still confined to 

 their homo by sickness. Mr. Linquist 

 is in charge of the store. 



Geo. M. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, 

 was a visitor last week. Mr. Kellogg 

 contemplates adding another 100,000 feet 

 of glass to his already extensive estab- 

 lishment. 



The Alpha Floral Co, is well pleased 

 with business. 



Lawrence Schwager reports business 

 as above the average. He has some 

 good stock on exhibition at his store.
