KANSAS QTY. 



A Splendid Year. 



The year 1905 has been a memorable 

 one in many ways. The flower trade 

 has kept pace with all other lines of 

 business in this city and has shown a 

 wonderful increase over any former 

 year. The past year has seen the estab- 

 lishment of a new wholesale house, one 

 of the largest and most complete west 

 of Chicago, and eight new retail estab- 

 lishments. Yet, despite this increase in 

 the number of concerns, the older estab- 

 lishments report nearly double the vol- 

 ume of business transacted in 1904. 

 Probably no other city in the country 

 can show such a remarkable gain in the 

 flower trade. Better prices were real- 

 ized than ever before and buyers gen- 

 erally made no objection to paying good 

 prices for high grade stuff. The year 

 1905 is one that will be long remem- 

 bered in Kansas City by the trade. 



There has been no let up in business 

 since Christmas. The demand for good 

 stock has exceeded the supply. New 

 Year's day was another big day, the 

 amount of business done being remark- 

 able. Below we give the comments of 

 some of the leading dealers on the Christ- 

 mas business: 



Arthur Newell. — Our business was the 

 best we ever had; sales 60 per cent 

 greater than last year, and they aver- 

 aged 30 per cent for the entire week. 

 People wanted good stuff and were will- 

 ing to pay the price. 



Samuel Murray. — The best business 

 we ever did; away ahead of anything 

 we expected. Our plant trade was fine. 

 We disposed of almost our entire stock. 



Ed. A. Humfeld. — We did a splendid 

 business, fully double that of last year. 



Wm. L. Rock. — Our business shows 25 

 per cent increase over last year. 



A. F. Barbe. — The best business we 

 ever had, and the best prices. 



Harnden Seed Co.— We did a good 

 business, much better than we expected 

 to. 



Miss M. Dalley. — My business was 

 much better than ever before, 50 per 

 cent increase over last year. 



Kay-See. 



Unadilla, N. Y.— N. H. Padgett was 

 burned out last February, sustaining a 

 total loss, with no insurance. As he had 

 not the means to continue in business the 

 people of the town and surrounding coun- 

 try raised a subscription sufficient to en- 

 able him to build a small greenhouse 

 and workroom. A number of florists have 

 contributed surplus plants to enable 

 him to restock and all such contributions 

 were very welcome.
