WICHITA, KAN. 



The toinperatiuv lias been more like 

 sprinjx tlian winter, no cold, stormy 

 weather of any kind. Business has been 

 somewliat better than last year. There 

 is not so much larj^e decoratnig this win- 

 ter but more funeral work. 



At the banquet during our Freight 

 Rate Convention, there were 600 plates. 

 Boqnets of roses and carnations were 

 used on all but one table and on that 

 table, in the center, was a freight depot. 

 Bronze galax leaves were used for The 

 roof to represent shingles. A track was 

 made of No. 9 galvanized wire for rails, 

 with baby ribbon for ties. At the door 

 at either end of the depot was a small 

 engine and tender, with freight ears 

 laden with cigars and matches. Just 

 as the toastmaster began, the engine 

 started and each one helped himself to 

 a smoke. It was quite a card for the 

 occasion. 



Chas. P ]\Iueller is making a success 

 in growing roses at his new greenhouses, 

 showing some very good fancy varieties. 

 He has just installed feeding tanks. 

 There is one large tank, 10x14 feet, 

 three feet deep. When manure is to be 

 put in. this tank is connected with a 

 steam pipe. When ready, the gate is 

 opened; llie liquid passes through three 

 screens of different sizes into a large 

 cistern and is there pumped up to a tank 

 by a windniill, using the regular water 

 pipe to conduct the liquid manure when 

 needed. Everything is doing fine. Tie 

 has a fine bed of violets and is cutting 

 good carnations. Business in his down- 

 town store is on the increase and it is 

 thought it will pay. 



Mrs. C. A. Rose was called to her old 

 home in Aurora. 111., on account of the 

 death of her mother, Mrs. Stevens. 



W. H. Culp & Co. reports business 

 good. 



There was a shortage of flowers last 

 week but they are coming in again. Car- 

 nation day for the first time increased 



the call for that popular flower, es 

 jiecially by the school children. All are 

 looking for a good spring and Easter 

 trade. M. P. C.

The European sources of supply all 

 report a very strong demand for spinach, 

 which is cleaned out in most growing lo- 

 calities. 



Mrs. Cuelf, wife of Chas. Guelf, of 

 the Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge,

 Chicago hospital, is now improving. 



The quotations of cloverseed at New 

 York are nominally .$13 for No. 1 and 

 $12.50 for No. 2. Chicago timothy was 

 $3.40 for :\Iarch, n7id cloverseed $13.25

J. W. Ratekix. Shenandoah, la., says 

 they began shipping car lots of seed 

 corn December 2S, and that since that 

 date the business, including catalogue 

 trade, has been niucli heavier than usual. 



At some of the jirincipal onion seed 

 centers there is a feeling that the Cali- 

 fornia growers should confine their ef- 

 forts in :)iaking onion seed sales to seeds- 

 men only, or at least to growers who buy 

 in larger quantities than fifty-pound lots. 



It is reported that a considerable 

 (juantity of onion seed of the red and yel- 

 low flat varieties is available. Investi- 

 gation fails to locate it, however, and 

 it is thought that the same lot has been 

 inventoried several times over and cred- 

 ited up to different individuals. 



There is considerable activity in 

 onion sets. February shipments are go- 

 ing out in good shape. The quality of 

 the stock is all that could be desired. 

 The bulk of the quantity put into storage 

 last fall iuis carried well. The even tem- 

 perature of the winter has made it easier 

 than usual to winter the sets. 



The demand for onion seed is in no 

 way lessened by the present drop in the 

 l)rice of onions. As reported in the Re- 

 view a week or two ago. there is a feel- 

 ing among the onion growers that the 

 next month will show a sharp advance in 

 the price of good sound bulbs and that 

 conditions warrant a firm holding of 

 such onions for the advance. 



Reports in general indicate a healthy 

 condition of trade. Tfie wholesalers are 

 feeling good over the outlook, fill-in or- 

 ders are expected to be of good volume 

 and bookings for the coming year con- 

 tinue to come in in a satisfactory man- 

 ner. The houses which eater to the mar- 

 ket garden trade are busy and the mail 

 order houses report good returns from
