The Weekly Florists' Review. 



November 3, 1910. 



WICHITA, KA.N. 



The Market. 



Business is good. The calamity howl 

 «rs who have been predicting panics, 

 hard times, etc., for this western coun- 

 try, have not been able to collect a 

 large enough following to seriously 

 affect trade conditions so far. The de- 

 mand for flowers seems to be picking 

 up in a satisfactory manner, showing 

 a nice increase over last year. Tran- 

 sient trade is improving, while an oc- 

 casional wedding helps out. There is a 

 steady demand for funeral work, both 

 local and out-of-town, and the season 

 for parties and luncheons is beginning 

 to open. 



Local roses are hardly up to expecta- 

 tions, but chrj'santhemums are of splen- 

 did quality and quantity. Carnations 

 are increasing in number, and in spite 

 of their hard time in the latter part of 

 the summer, flowers are better than for 

 several years at this season. There is 

 a slight shortage in good lily of the 

 vallej'. A few short-stemmed violets 

 are showing up, and serve to trim an 

 occasional design, and to create a de- 

 mand which cannot be supplied. The 

 early mum plants are coming into 

 flower rapidly, and are finding a ready 

 sale. 



Various Notes. 



The city has combed the confetti out 

 of its hair, and is recovering from the 

 Peerless Prophet's jubilee. This event 

 brought many visitors into the city, who 

 did some little shopping between cele- 

 brations. Chas. P. Mueller was the only 

 florist to enter the civic parade. His 

 first float carried a miniature green- 

 house, containing blooming plants. Fol- 

 lowing tliis came another, decorated 

 for a wedding, with altar and kneeling 

 cushion. The third wagon was a top 

 delivery wagon, decorated with carnival 

 colors and yellow mums. He received 

 first prize for novel features. 



The Bixby Greenhouses have added 

 two connected houses, each 34x72, 

 which will be devoted to lettuce. Mr. 

 Bixby will also experiment with a crop 

 of mushrooms under one of the benches 

 in his plant house. 



Mr. Bidleman is starting the con- 

 struction of a house, 28x105. The build- 

 ing will have 7-foot gutters, and will ex- 

 tend east from his present boiler shed, 

 across the ends of the remainder of the 

 range. 



C. A. Kose has added a stock of gold- 

 fish and accessories. He reports a satis- 

 factory demand for them. 



The killing frost landed on its aver- 

 age date this year, October 19. It was 

 in the middle of jubilee week, and some 

 of the visitors without wraps experi- 

 enced a cool reception. The weather 

 warmed up for a few days, and was 

 then followed by a more determined 

 freeze, wliich sent the temperature down 

 to 22 degrees. 



W. H. Culp ic Co. have finished two 

 benches of early mums and are bench- 

 ing pot-grown carnations in their place. 



Christmas sweet peas are showing up 

 well at several places. Chas. P. Mueller 

 is growing his on in pots until one of 

 his houses, now devoted to chrysan- 

 themums, can be cleared for them. 



E. C. 



Hampton, la. — The Curtis Floral Co. 

 has added to the greenhouse equipment 

 a large storage room, with a basement.
