The Market. 



Business is dull except for a few wed- 

 dings. White asters and smilax can not 

 be found in the market, and have to be 

 shipped in. American Beauties seem 

 to be entirely out of the market. Few 

 orders are booked for them, as there is 

 no certainty of filling them. 



Boston ferns are all the go now for 

 plants. As the people return from their 

 summer trips they seem to want plants 

 in their homes. The sale is opening 

 quite early, as September is usually the 

 month for ferns. 



Various Notes. 



The People's Floral Co. has its store 

 in a good location, Twelfth and Main, 

 and has a good trade. Max Filers, one 

 of the proprietors, has leased the White 

 House greenhouses at Twenty-seventh 

 and Holmes streets for growing palms 

 and ferns for their store. Mr. Wise, 

 the owner of these greenhouses, has had 

 very poor health. 



Miller Carter and wife are spending 

 their honeymoon in Colorado. Mr. Car- 

 ter is head decorator for the W. L. 

 Bock Flower Co. We all wish them a 

 pleasant trip. 



Alexander Kerr has returned from his 

 vacation trip. 



A visit to the W. H. Humfeld Floral 

 Co. found Mr. Humfeld busy repairing 

 the roof on one of his houses. A walk 

 through his houses found everything in 

 excellent growing condition. The carna- 

 tions are about all planted, and all stock 

 is looking fine. 



Rain Damages Cemetery. 



August 23, early in the morning, Kan- 

 sas City was deluged by a record-break- 

 ing rain. Six inches fell in three hours. 

 The weather bureau has no record of so 

 much rain in so short a time. Many 

 buildings were flooded. There was great

destruction in the valley aistrict of Elm- 

 wood cemetery. A bursting sewer sent 

 a torrent of water across the cemetery. 

 Graves sunk and tombstones were washed 

 from their bases. Many trees and a lot 

 of shrubbery and flower beds were de- 

 stroyed. 



The path left by the torrent was a 

 scene of destruction. Tombstones lay 

 at full length, water stood in graves 

 which had sunk and everywhere was the 

 debris wnich the flood had carried with 

 It. Superintendent Hyer said that it 

 was impossible to tell the extent of the 

 damage. Bus'y. 



Meriden, Conn. — R. W. Barrow has

 Batten, and will devote all of his time 

 to the new establishment. His son will 

 take charge of the Union street houses. 

 They are rebuilding one house, 18x100, 

 and are giving the property a general 

 overhauling, so as to be ready for the 

 fall season.
