THE SOIL CARRIER IN USE. 



SAVES TIME, LABOR \ MONEY 



We call your attention to our Gravity Carriers for conveyiugr soil into and out of 

 grreenhouses. You are aware of the grreat amount of labor necessary for chansring the 

 loam in your benches. It requires but a few feet of our Gravity Carriers to reduce 

 this expense. 



Carriers are made in eight and four foot sections, which can be instantly joined ; 

 the rollers are of the best seamless steel tubing, ball bearing, and are 14 Inches in length 

 by '2H inches in diameter. Cut shows how they operate. 



A run of carrier is set up with one end projecting through a window and a cart 

 containing the loam is placed at this end. The loam is shoveled into the boxes, which 

 are pushed or conveyed by gravity into the house and dumped into tiie benches. Empty 

 boxes are pushed back to cart over same run of carrier. When the beds within a con- 

 venient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the work contin- 

 ues until all benches are filled. For removing soil the process is, of course, similar. 



We shall be pleased to furnish further details relative to construction and dura- 

 bility of the carriers; also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your green- 

 houses, furnish an estimate of the cost of a system for your requirements.

The Market. 



The weather for Easter week was 

 beautiful, with plenty of bright sun- 

 shine, which brought every plant into 

 bloom on time, and there was an abun- 

 dant supply of everything needed. Or- 

 ders were placed four to five days be- 

 forehand; hence a heavy trade was ex- 

 pected, and the expectation was not 

 disappointed. The supply in roses was 

 extra heavy and of good quality. In 

 carnations there was almost a glut; 

 never before was there such a supply. 

 Lilies were short-stemmed, but the sup- 

 ply was large. Dutch hyacinths were 

 extra fine and in good shape. Azaleas 

 were plentiful and fine. Daffodils were 

 plentiful and in good demand. 



Bock's New Store. 



At its opening April 1 the new store 

 of W. L. Rock and associates was be- 

 yond doubt the grandest sight ever seen 

 in a Kansas City flower shop. In the 

 front windows on both sides were hung 

 large specimen plants of orchids in 

 many varieties, in full bloom. In the 

 center stood a large fount of growing 

 lycopodium filled with Easter lilies and 

 white schizanthus. On either side were 

 Rhododendron Pink Pearl and rambler 

 roses, in four varieties, grown in basket 

 shape, in full bloom. Large specimens 

 of Cibotium Schiedei were tilted over 

 on the sides of the long refrigerator, in- 

 termingled with bougainvillea in full 

 bloom. Baskets three feet in diameter 

 with growing red coleus were hung on 

 the wall in great quantities, making a 

 most striking effect. A large display of 

 genistas in pots and planted in com- 

 bination with baby primroses was one 

 of the main features in the center of 

 the shop. A large group of yellow cal- 

 las in full bloom was one of the main 

 attractions near the black marble-top- 

 ped cashier's counter. All the lower 

 part of the walls of the shop is mir- 

 rors; even the refrigerators are lined 

 with them. A splendid lot of cut flow- 

 ers included the new rose, Sunburst, 

 supplied by the E. G. Hill Co. Large 

 quantities of Easter plants, too nu- 

 merous to mention, were on exhibition. 

 The baskets hung from the ceiling, in 

 which are concealed the electric lamps, 

 were trimmed with trailing asparagus. 

 The indirect lighting system gives a 

 beautiful effect on the fine ceiling. 



The average attendance for the three 

 days of the opening was about 6,500 

 each day, by actual count.
