August 17, 1905. 



KANSAS OTY. 



The Market 



The market here has taken on a live- 

 lier look the past week. Several func- 

 tions of note and a large number of 

 funerals have kept things going pretty 

 lively. Very little shipped stuff is being 

 handled because of the heat and the in- 

 ability of that class of goods to stand 

 shipping. A small quantity of new roses 

 is coming in and looking well. Asters 

 this year have surpassed in quantity and 

 quality that of previous years and the 

 demand equals the supply. "With asters 

 are antirrhinums, coreopsis and old-fash- 

 ioned flowers which are coming into fa- 

 vor again. Carnations are not coming in 

 in very large quantities and are not yet 

 looking up to their usual form. 



An indication of fall trade is show- 

 ing itself in the increased demand for 

 palms, rubbers and ferns for which good 

 prices are being realized. A number of 

 advance orders for wedding decorations 

 indicate an early social season. 



Various Notes. 



Your correspondent visited Indepen- 

 dence one day last week and was royally 

 entertained by the two florists there. A. 

 Broman's was the first place he visited 

 and was agreeably surprised at the quan- 

 tity of glass and the quality of the 

 stock produced. Mr. Broman came here 

 from Chicago thirteen years ago and en- 

 tered the employ of Geo. Kellogg, at 

 Pleasant Hill, where he stayed five 

 yeaj-s. Eight years ago he purchased 

 ten acres in Independence and started 

 in on his own hook, raising roses for the 

 Kansas City market. He has at present 

 25,000 feet of glass, two-thirds of which 

 is used for roses and the rest for carna- 

 tions and miscellaneous stuff. Miss M. 

 Dalley purchases his entire output undef 

 contract each year for the past six years 

 and that she handles A-1 stuff goes 

 without saying, as Mr. Broman grows 

 nothing but first-class stock. 



The other establishment was that of 

 E. G. Bunyar, on North Main street. 

 Your correspondent has known Mr. 

 Bunyar the past nineteen years and has 

 watched with satisfaction and some sur- 

 prise the rapidity with which he forged 

 ahead among the best here. Mr. Bunyar 

 has at present about 10,000 feet of glass 

 and has in contemplation the erection of 

 10,000 feet more to handle his increas- 

 ing trade and he is erecting at present 

 one palm house 20x50 for decorative 

 plants. His holdings consist of two 

 and one-half acres and he is now on a 

 deal to purchase two and one-half more. 

 He markets three crops of plants in 2%- 

 inch pots each year and his shipping 

 trade has reached such proportions that 

 with his linlited amount of glass at pres- 

 ent he cannot fill nearly all his orders; 

 hence the necessity of building. 



James Hayes, of Topeka, Kan., in a 

 letter to your correspondent, reports that 

 the trade in the past year has eclipsed 

 any former year in his recollection. Mr. 

 Hayes is Topeka 's premier florist and 

 handles the greater part of the trade 

 there. 



Geo. M. Kellogg left here the first of 

 the week for the convention and a visit 

 to his old home in Massachusetts.
