Mention The Bevlcw when you write. 



Frank Ganarus, a Greek florist, has 

 caused the arrest of John Lambros, an 

 employee, late of Chicago and lamented 

 by wholesalers, charging him with em- 

 bezzling $32.75. Lambros denies he ever 

 took a penny not his own. 



Stollery Bros, have practically retired 

 from the wholesale line, now that so 

 much stock is required for their new 

 store at 1983 Evanston avenue, where 

 Mrs. Fred Stollery presides. The s'tore 

 is 22x66 and is fine for keeping plants. 

 A large trade rapidly is developing 

 there. Fred Stollery now spends most of 

 his time on the market, buying, and 

 George looks after the greenhouses and 

 trade at the old Edgewater place. 



Visitors. 



Among the week's visitors were Hugo 

 Schroeter and wife, of Detroit, Mr. 

 Schroeter purchasing stock for a big dec- 

 oration they have each autumn; B. Juer- 

 gens, Peoria, 111.; Mrs. Kate Seel and 

 daughter, Benton Harbor, Mich.; Mr. 

 Meyer, of the Meyer Drug Co., Shreve-' 

 port, La., who have a florists' depart- 

 ment; Bobt. Simmons, of Simmons & 

 Larson, Morris, 111., who was accom- 

 panied by a lady who became his wife 

 after their arrival here on Saturday. 



Saratoga, N. Y. — T. J. Totten is 

 erecting a Lord & Burnham house, 30 

 xlOO. 



Tipton, Ia.— A house 20x100 feet, 

 added during the summer, gives Mr. 

 Shiffer, proprietor of the Tipton Green- 

 houses, 4,000 feet of glass for this sea- 

 son. A new heating apparatus is nearly 

 completed. Stock looks well.

The Market 



The market is improving. Boseu and 

 carnations are more plentiful, and of 

 better quality. The stems of carna- 

 tions are short, but the flowers are godd. 

 Asters are nearly out of the market. 

 Fine^spikes of tuberoses are coming in, 

 but the demand is poor. Very few 

 dahlias are on the market. Some of the 

 stores are using golden-rod to decorate 

 their show windows and it looks fine. 

 We are all waiting for mums to help 

 make a show in the stores, but it will be 

 some time, as the buds are yet small on 

 many varieties. 



The sale on palms and ferns is prac- 

 tically at a standstill with florists, as 

 the large department stores have them 

 by the carload and are selling them at 

 extremely low prices. This is done to 

 draw trade, and the florist who is de- 

 pending u|)on the fall sales of his plants 

 has this to contend with. 



Various Notes. 



Ed A. Humfeld has just received a 

 large shipment of decorating palms from 

 Philadelphia. He anticipates doing a 

 lot of decorating this season, and is pre- 

 paring early. He is also installing one 

 more boiler; the present heating system 

 is insu£Scient in severe weather. That 

 new wagon of his is a daisy and there 

 is nothing like it on the boulevard. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. store, 

 which has been remodeled this summer, 

 is now finished. The chief decorations 

 in the large show window were vases of 

 Easter lilies and purple asters. 



Arthur Newell has been taking the 

 world easy. He can be seen often with 

 his fine sorrel horse and buggy. 



The Kansas City Cut Flower Co. has 

 more cut flowers in its window than all 

 the other stores put together. The dis- 

 play is worth seeing. 



Ernest Greschoff, who has charge of 

 the Paseo flower beds, has them up to 

 perfection and is hard at work endeavor- 

 ing to keep them so until October 2. 

 During the first week in October, the 

 city will be crowded with carnival visit- 

 ors from all parts of the neighboring 

 country. 



George M. Kellogg 's large automobile 

 is again in service. 



C. Laundy is doing a prosperous busi- 

 ness. He has built one more greenhouse 

 this summer; also a potting shed, and 

 is improving his place in general. His 

 stock is looking well. 



W. J. Barnes has opened a fine cut- 

 flower store in Westport at 3920 Main 

 street. From all appearances he has 

 started at the right place, as he will 

 have no opposition within three miles, 

 and being close to one of the most popu- 

 lar dancing halls in the city, Mr. Barnes 

 will surely do well. His greenhouses 

 are located at Thirty-eighth and Euclid, 

 where he grows extensively cut flowers 

 and plants for bedding. 



Kansas City, Kan., is coming to the 

 front in the florists' business. Mrs. 

 Moseley has just returned from the east, 

 where she has purchased a large lot 

 of florists' supplies, also decorating 

 plants. She is now busy decorating her 

 new store, which when completed will 

 be one of "the best in Kansas. She is 

 located in the heart of the city, being
