has averaged only sixty-nine per cent 

 of the possible sunshine in the last 

 forty-two years. The rainfall was only 

 1.78 inches, or less than half the nor- 

 mal. The temperature was normal. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 

 The local market is good, both retail 

 and wholesale. All good stock that 

 materializes sells rapidly and at good 

 prices. Carnations in the first part of 

 last week were poor on the average, 

 selling at $7.50 per thousand. The lat- 

 ter part of the week told a different 

 story; they were scarce, and quality 

 was good, $2 per hundred being obtain- 

 able. The. roses are creditable, con- 

 sidering the season, except Maids and 

 Brides. A few Melody are seen and 

 bring $4 to $6, as does Maryland. 

 Beauties continue to be the most popu- 

 lar of roses, the quality good. 



Mention The Review when you write. 



Valley is scarce and many orders 

 have been sent to Chicago, but local 

 growers hope shortly to be able to 

 supply the demand. Sweet peas are 

 much in evidence and sell rapidly. 

 Dahlias are becoming more plentiful 

 and popular, but only 3 cents can be 

 obtained for the best. Some peonies 

 are still to be had, but are poor. 

 Tamarix has made its appearance and 

 sells well. Much garden stock is seen, 

 but has no real value. 



Various Notes. 



S. Bryson Ayres Co., of Independ- 

 ence, Mo., are cutting fine Christmas 

 Pink and Thanksgiving White sweet 

 peas. This firm has an improvement 

 on the Christmas Pink variety, to be 

 known as Delight. 



Edw. H. Frandsen, of Independence, 

 is cutting some fine dahlias. 



Arthur Newell reports business last 

 week to have been good. He bought 

 heavily of Beauties. 



The Stiles Co., of Oklahoma City, 

 Okla., was a heavy buyer on the local 

 market last week, owing to much 

 funeral work in that city. 



Miss Klein, bookkeeper and stenog- 

 rapher for Henry Kusik & Co., has 

 taken a position with like duties with 

 the Geo. M. Kellogg Co. 



The damage done by the storm of 

 June 15 and 16 will amount to about 

 $12,000 to $14,000. A few firms escaped 

 without loss. 



The names of Chas. Thomas, of the 

 Geo. M. Kellogg Co., and William 

 Miller, of Eock's, appeared on the sick 

 list last week. 



The window boxes on the three floors 

 of the W. L. Eock Flower Co. store, at 

 1106 Grand avenue, are excellent. Mr. 

 Eock personally superintended the 

 planting of these. 



The window of Samuel Murray is 

 pretty, hydrangeas being the attraction, 

 with background of cibotiums and pine- 

 apple plants.
