of the past, but it is scarcely the factor 

 that it was a few weelts back. Cars 

 are plentiful on some lines, and while 

 on others the supply is below normal, 

 the eastern roads as a whole are giving 

 improved service. The car situation will 

 naturally become easier as spring ap- 

 proaches, but mine labor is likely to be 

 scarce as long as the country remains 

 prosperous and men can find employ- 

 ment at good wages in other lines. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Business last week was of the usual 

 run. There have been quite a number 

 of society events, which called for a 

 good supply of decorating material. 

 Some stores complained of the tran- 

 sient business, saying that it was not 

 up to the standard. Funeral orders 

 came in as usual. Bulbous stock is be- 

 coming more plentiful and is welcomed, 

 especially the yellow. Carnations are 

 improving steadily in color and size, 

 and the demand seems to be increasing. 

 Pink roses are scarce, while the red 

 and white are coming in faster. 



Various Notes. 



The W. L. Eock Flower Co. reports 

 quite a nice run on funeral work for 

 the last week. This concern is cutting 

 some excellent spring and bulbous 

 flowers. 



Florists across the state line report 

 a good week end business, especially in 

 funeral work. 



Samuel Murray has a fine display of 

 orchids at his greenhouses. It would 

 pay anyone to visit his place. 



The W. H. Sawvel Floral Co. is send- 

 ing in some fine carnations. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & 

 Plant Co. reports business for the week 

 end as good, including a quantity of 

 funeral work. 



W. J. Barnes was busy last week 

 with table decorations. He reports 

 business to be as good as could be ex- 

 pected for this time of year. 



Henry Kusik & Co. say that carna- 

 tions are moving better, but still com- 

 plain of not having enough roses to 

 meet the demand. 



Eoy Wilcox and wife, of Council 

 Bluffs, were in the city last week on 

 their wav to Excelsior Springs.

 installed a No. 34 Giblin standard hot

Read what they say: 



Two No. 16 "Detroit" Return Traps on top of boiler at S. J. Reuter 

 & Son's Greenhouse, Westerly, Rhode Island. 



"They have been working since installed and have 

 given us the best of satisfaction in every way." 



You will say the same after Installing "Detroit" Traps.
