KANSAS CITY, 



The Market 



Trade for Decoration day was good 

 and everyone seems to be satisfied. 

 Peonies took the lead, retailing from $1 

 to $1.50 per dozen. Carnations were 

 scarce, seeming to be off crop; prices 

 ranged from 50 cents to $1 per dozen. 

 Boses were not plentiful and were of 

 poor quality. There were no jasmine to 

 be had this year, as they were in too 

 early and were all brown by Decoration 

 day. In former years they were plenti- 

 ful and went a long way in helping out. 

 Sweet-williams were plentiful and sold 

 readily at 75 cents per dozen. Not so 

 much was done in plants on that day, as 

 .,..they were bought three or four days 

 previous and all graves planted. 



Vaiiottt Notes. . 



Geo. M, Kellogg 's store rAwrts a fine 

 trade, having sdld everything to be had. 

 Large quantities of peonies of their own 

 growing, mostly white, were placed in 

 cold storage and were all disposed of at 

 a fair price. 



R. S. Brown has improved much in 

 health and has been in the spring rush of 

 business, which has been one of the best 

 for many years. 



Nelson Jarrett is doing a rushing busi- 

 ness this spring in bed^ng plants. He 

 now runs two covered wagons to the mar- 

 ket, where he disposes of most of his 

 stock. 



W. H. Hum'feld reports that he is just 

 finishing one of the most successful bed- 

 ding seasons since he has been in busi- 

 ness, which is sixteen years. The Deco- 

 ration day trade was especially good. 



The heavy rains in the west are caus- 

 ing the two rivers to overflow, and it 

 looks as if all railroads would have to 

 stop. H. E. Rathjen, head grower at W. 

 H. Humfeld's, fearing a delay of rail- 

 road, left early Monday evening for 

 Trenton, Mo., where he met his 

 bride, Miss Marie Witten. The cere-

mony took place Wednesday noon. Mr. 

 and Mrs. Rathjen will make their wed- 

 ding tour to points in Illinois. The 

 craft congratulate them. 



Outdoor roses are almost a failure 

 this season, partly due to the late frosts 

 and partly to insects, which are destroy- 

 ing the foliage on some lawns where 

 they were not sprayed. The bushes look 

 as though a fire had been near them. 

 We noticed one of our nurserymen hav- 

 ing two barrels in his wagon, peddling 

 some kind of red liquid bug destroyer. 

 Peach trees are loaded with green aphis 

 and the leaves curl up. In fact, this 

 insect seems to be on nearly everything.
