The Weekly Rdrists' Reviewf 



September 14, 1911. 



WICHITA, KAN. 



The Market. 



Busutess through the summer held up 

 qui la dfecently for the dull season and 

 is pieking up nicely as the fall ad- 

 vances, showing a good increase over 

 last year, with the demand pretty even- 

 ly balanced in the different classes of 

 work. Vacationists are back in their 

 places and everything is beginning to 

 shape up for a good season 's business. 



Shipments of supplies and accessories 

 are showing up, accompanied by their 

 usual bills, and the bulb eases drop in 

 pretty regularly. 



The Hail Storm. 



"Well, what did the hail do to you?" 

 Everyone connected with the florists' 

 busioessi is tired of hearing this ques- 

 tion. At 5 p. m., September 6, this city 

 was visited by one of the most vicious 

 storms it has entertained for some time. 

 Between 5 and 7, indeed, there were 

 three hail storms. During these storms, 

 and through the night, enough plain 

 water fell to make the rainfall for the 

 twelve hours nearly eight inches. 



The loss of glass was not So heavy 

 as that of last year, but some growers 

 lost nearly all their roofs and all houses 

 were damaged at least twenty per cent. 

 The loss of stock is the worst pill to 

 take. Mum plants and other stock in 

 the houses were cut and broken by hail 

 and falling glass. The outdoor crops 

 for the season had been doing splendid- 

 ly, as a general thing. Some exception- 

 ally good asters, dahlias and gladioli 

 had been cut. The hail has absolutely 

 ruined the asters, while dahlias and 

 gladioli are an exceedingly doubtful 

 proposition for future flowers. The 

 stoYes, which "had been having all the 

 stock they could handle, suddenly 

 found themselves without anything to 

 fall back on. All the greenhouse men 

 are taking immediate steps to replace 

 their roofs, and orders for about five 

 cars of glass have already gone in. 



Various Notes. 



The night of the hail storm was the 

 night of the formal opening of one of 

 the principal clothing houses. The 

 decorations downstairs were by C. P. 

 Mueller; upstairs, by W. H. Gulp & Co. 

 Several nice floral offerings were sent, 

 principally American beauties. The 

 Gulp company also decorated for an un- 

 usually elaborate home wedding last 

 week. 



Elwood Kline, manager of the Kline 

 OO., at Lawrence, spent Saturday and 

 Sunday in this city. His friends smile 

 when he says he is visiting his parents 

 and the greenhouses here. L.
