WICHITA, KAN. 



The Market. 



Just at this time the chrysanthemum 

 has the place of honor everywhere 

 flowers are disposed of, but the showing 

 of potted mums is nothing striking, al- 

 though good. Cut blooms, however, are 

 magnificent. The price"remains at rea- 

 sonable figures, as the stock is all local 

 grown. 



The demand seems about the same as . 

 last year, as general business conditions 

 are similar. Paper White narcissi are 

 coming in, and both local grown and 

 shipped stock are showing the improve- 

 ment that would be expected at this 

 season. Taken altogether there is lit- 

 tle, either iii supply or demand, to ex- 

 cite much comment. This autumn had 

 its quota of good weddings and the 

 usual afternoon functions, while the 

 local funeral demand has been. rather 

 quiet, with two or three exceptions. 



The azaleas made their long trip in 

 much better shape than last year and 

 the indications are that they will bring 

 better satisfaction in consequence. 



Trade conditions incline toward the 

 normal, but this certainly cannot be 

 said of that which has passed for. 

 weather in Kansas since the first week 

 of November. About the worst ex- 

 ample of its behavior was one day 

 which started in peacefully at 7:00 

 a. m. with a temperature of 64 degrees 

 (the previous day reached 72 degrees 

 in the shade), slid down to 24 degrees 

 at 11:00 a. m. and fell to 14 degrees 

 at 7:00 p. m., with a 40-mile wind to 

 help it through the thin places in the 

 greenhouse defenses. By 7:00 a, m. 

 the next morning, it had found the 10 

 •degree mark, with the wind still help- 

 ing. Since that time the weather man 

 has dipped up tempest and sunshine 

 with a happy irregularity that has 

 -caused the greenhouse man to oscillate 

 between ventilators and boilers much 

 more than was good for his peace of 

 mind. In spite of the weather pecu- 

 liarities, however, the various green- 

 house establishments show the autumn 

 wqrk well in hand, with prospects ex- 

 cellent for fine Christmas stock, includ- 

 ing^ a good crop of carnations. 



Various Notes. 



A. Goldenberg was here recently with 

 his smile and order book. . He reports 

 nice conditions in the south, ' and tather 

 favors the opinion that bulb buying is 

 more sensible than last year. 



The Bixby Greenhouses have installed 

 a new boiler and changed from hot 

 Mi[ater to steam heat. They report re- 

 snlts highly satisfactory. 



Nerval Kline, of Hutchinson, Kan., 

 was in the city on business recently. 



; The Blake Co. is trying out a Honey- 

 Well generator on the hot water sys- 

 tem, and it promises to be of marked 

 assistance. 



Mr. Brackenberry, recently with Kel- 

 logg, of Kansas Qity, Mo.,^ is now in 

 the store of Chas. P. Mueller. 



The Culp Co. has installed new oil

burners in its greenhouses, barely get- 

 ting them attached in time for the re- 

 cent severe cold snap, which put them 

 through a pretty severe test. They 

 demonstrated the fact that their capac- 

 ity was only limited by what the boiler 

 would stand, and as the oil is cheaper 

 and easier handled than any other fuel 

 that can be secured here, the experi- 

 ment will be watched with some in- 

 terest. 



Mr. Bidleman is installing burners of 

 a slightly different design, which 

 promise to render efficient service.
