KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



BuBiuess for the mouth of August 

 was an improvement over that of a 

 year ago. One reason for it is that 

 stock has been more plentiful and far 

 better than it was last year. Roses 

 are plentiful and good, and hold up 

 well. Asters are coming in of finer 

 quality and larger, and have com- 

 menced to bring the sale of roses down. 

 Gladioli are still plentiful and good. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Kane, of the Peterson Floral Co., 

 is able to be about and can use his eye, 

 which was injured several months ago. 



Henry Knsik has been on the sick 

 list for several days, but is improving. 

 He reports business good, and always 

 has a large stock of roses, lilies, gla- 

 dioli a«€l ast^ on ha^d. \ 



T. J. Noll %ent toitttt. Loui* for a 

 business trip of a few days. He reports 

 that business is increasing every month, 

 with more customers on his list. 



The Alpha Floral Co. had an attrac- 

 tive window last week, consisting of u 

 globe map of the world moving around 

 by electricity and telegrams strewn all 

 over the window. Little flower stores 

 dotted the map of Europe and this con- 

 tinent, and on them was "We ship 

 flowers to all parts of the world." 



A. F. Barbe is installing a new heat- 

 ing plant at his range and has done 

 away with the old system, making a 

 big improvement. 



Chas. Laundy is busy repairing his 

 range. He has a fine lot of pot plants 

 at present. 



An account of the outing of the Kan- 

 sas City Florists' Club will be found 

 on page 17 of this issue. W. J. B. 



BABABOO, WIS. 



W. A. Toole, who grows hardy per- 

 ei^nial plants for the wholesale trade, 

 has assumed the management of Will- 

 iam Toole & Son, well known as pansy 

 specialists, and the two businesses will 

 be combined after January 1 and con- 

 tinued under the name of William Toole 

 & Son. The senior member of the firm, 

 William Toole, will continue his work 

 in the breeding and improving of pan- 

 sies. 



Present indications are that the fall 

 crop of pansy seeds will be heavy, but 

 every ounce will be needed to meet the 

 rapidly increasing demand for seed. 



E. H. Toole, who has been manager 

 of the William Toole & Son business 

 for the last two years, has returned to 

 professional work at the University of 

 Wisconsin, where he will make a spe- 

 cial study of the germination and 

 growth of seeds. 



E. T. Ross and William Toole & Son 

 are making considerable additions to 

 their greenhouses to keep pace with the 

 growth of business. 



Carl Hoffman, who makes a specialty 

 of Dutch bulbs, has issued a neat illus- 

 trated catalogue of twenty pages, de- 

 scribing his bulbs and hardy plants.
