The Weekly Florists' Review* 



SEPiu'MBBn 14, 1005. 



KANSAS QTY. 



TIic Market 



A '.'onfinuation of cool Heather, with 

 light showers, has caused a brisk de- 

 mand for flowers and prices have an up- 

 ward tendency. Quite a number of large 

 funerals, and some wedding orders, have 

 kept things cleared up. Roses are of 

 better quality, although prices have not 

 changed materially. Some very good 

 Brides, Maids and Gates are on the mar- 

 ket, but as yet Beauties are scarce and 

 what few come in are of poor quality. 

 Carnations are to be seen and, for so 

 early in the season, are good. Prices 

 are a shade better than formerly. 



There are some very fine asters on the 

 market and they are bringing good 

 prices. Tuberoses and other outdoor 

 blooms come in handy these days for 

 work and are being ust'd considerably. 



Various Notes. 



The Bowling Club met in regular ses- 

 sion last Tuesday. Tliore was a good at- 

 tendance, notwithstanding the night was 

 wet, and some good records were made. 



R. S. Brown, we regret to say, is still 

 suffering with varicose veins and is un- 

 able to get around witliout the aid of 

 crutches. The boys arc hoping that it 

 v.ill not be long before he will be with 

 us again. 



W. H. Cuip Co., of Wichita, Kan., re- 

 ports business as increasing very satis- 

 factorily, necessitating an increase in 

 their working force. 



C. A. Doty, 1125 Main street, has 

 rented his flower space to Mr. Ebberfield, 

 of the Alpha Floral Co., and a party 

 from Omaha, who will open, for business 

 about September 14. The Tsusiness will 

 be conducted under Mr. Doty's name. 



Geo. Kessler, landscape architect for 

 the Park Board, has completed his 

 scheme of the floor of Convention hall 

 as it will appear when the different 

 flower show exhibits are placed. Wyatt 

 Robinson, decorator for the Priests of 

 Pallas, will do the work. The idea is 

 imique, as every exhibit can be seen 

 from the main entrance, doing away with 

 the necessity of going to the roof gar- 

 den to see what is on the floor. 



Mr. llarnden, of the Itarnden Seed 

 Co., is c<mipleting arrangements for his 

 cut flower dei)artnient, which he will run 

 in connection with his seed business.
