KANSAS QTY. 



The Market 



Stock haa been scarce and there has 

 not been near enough to supply the de- 

 mand. Trade on Valentine's day waa 

 good. Plants in pots and pans found 

 ready sale. Narcissi and daffodils were 

 in the lead. Azaleas went slowly and 

 seemed out of date; people are getting 

 tired of tjiem. This market does not 

 seem to be good on azaleas after Janu- 

 ary. 



There was a great demand for red 

 flowers. Any one having red carnations 

 had no trouble in disposing of them; 

 in fact the market was cleaned up the 

 day before, as orders were booked in 

 advs^nce. The man who can produce a 

 red carnation that will bloom as freely 

 as the Lawson would have a little gold 

 mine of his own. 



Violets were plentiful and prices re- 

 mained high, but the flowers were good. 

 There was quite a -call for violets, also 

 several calls for violets in pots on Val- 

 entine's day. 



Various Notes. 



George M. Kellogg is shipping in 

 some good Enchantress carnations. 



Anderson & Hammarlund are cutting 

 some choice Flamingo carnations. They 

 claim that The Queen carnation is the 

 best for white, and it shows up good 

 on their benches. Their bench of Law- 

 sons is a fine sight. 



Charles Laundy's carnations are look- 

 ing fine considering the cloudy weather 

 this city has had to contend with the 

 last five or six weeks. 



W. H. Humfeld is out again after 

 three weeks of sickness with the grip. 



Visitors for the last two weeks were: 

 A. r. Longren, of the Chicago Carna- 

 tion Co.; E. C. Pruner, with the E. F. 

 Winterson Co.; Martin Reukauf, of H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., and F. J. Farney, 

 of the A. L. Bandall Co., and all report 

 business as good all over the country. 



W. H. H. 



The erection of a ten-story building be- 

 tween Ninth and Tenth streets on Wal- 

 nut street has been delayed by a florist 

 named James Papadakos, who rents a 

 small building on the site of the pro- 

 posed new building. He refuses to move 

 and the matter is now in the courts. 



Heading, Pa. — Fir© from an over- 

 heated furnace did a slight damage at 

 the greenhouse of I. H. Anderson Feb- 

 ruary 10.

CACTUS GERANIUMS 



A very unique and strikingly beautiful distinct type which, oriKinatinff in England 

 but a few years ago, at once wun a place in great popular favor as a pot plant, for the 

 conservatory and window boxes, for which they are unusually pleasing and attractive, on 

 account of their remarkably handsome and thrifty but dwarf growth, small foliage, and 

 marvelous profusion of bloom. 



The Cactus has by common consent been recognized as a distinctive term applied to 

 certain type of Dahlias, Cinerarias, etc., but none deserve the appellation more so than the 

 Cactus Geranium, with its admirable elegance of form, exquisite, graceful, narrow pttals, 

 similar to those of the Cactus Dahlia. 



We offer a collection of four varieties, and to introduce them Into every collection, we 

 will for a short time send one dozen by mail postpaid for $1.60. 



PELARGONIUM PELTATO ZONAL 



Alliance, (Ijcmolne 1808) 



An exquisitely beautiful novelty of the highest order. A hybrid between an Ivy and 

 a Zonal, and which has re'ained all the good points of both parents, including the beautiful 

 soft flnish of the Ivy and the hardy constitution of the Zonal. 



It is therefore, not an ordinary variety but an extraordinary variety in all the good 

 points that go to make up an attractive Geranium. Its color is the most exquisite shade 

 of delicate lilac white, upper petals feathered and blotched beautiful bright crimson rose. 

 Floweis semi-double, abundantly produced in fine large trusses on long stems. 



Habit is excellent, robust, strong, close jointed; for vases or as a pot plant it is 

 unequalled. 



26c each; $2.50 per doz.; to introduce we will send postpaid for a short time. 



IVY-LEAVED GERANIUM 



Oaesar Franok, (Iiemoine 1905) 



This is unquestionably destined to become the most popular Ivy Geranium yet intro- 

 duced; the color is the most magnificent shade of soft crimson, with an exquisite shading 

 of tender rose at the base of the petals. The flowers are about as double as the Crimson 

 Rambler Rose, which they resemhie, only much richer in color and finish, produced on long 

 stems in enormous trusses. Habit, vigorous, quick growing and pleasing with a strong 

 constitution. For baskets and vases it is all that could be desired. 



Considering its general good behavior, being in keeping with its other good points, 

 we are convinced that it is a most desirable sort. 



25c each; $2.50 per doz.; to introduce it everywhere we will send postpaid for a short time.
