and sell them through the grocery and 

 department stores for what they will 

 bring. Easter the Joy Floral Co. at- 

 tempted to clean up on Emperors and 

 had a man on the public market with a 

 large supply of exceptionally good 

 stock. While he moved much of the 

 stock before becoming disgusted and 

 quitting, the prices were so low as to 

 barely meet the expenses. At the height 

 of the peony season really excellent 

 stock sold from the department stores 

 as low as from 25 cents to 50 cents 

 per dozen. The cut was unusual both in 

 quantity and quality. Geny Bros., the 

 Joy Floral Co. and Mclntyre all shipped 

 most of their stock, for which they 

 report receiving fair prices. 



The demand for bedding stock and 

 hardy shrubs was never so good as this 

 year, and long before the season was 

 over it was next to impossible to find 

 anyone who was not sold out of the 

 best bedders. Haury & Sons had nearly 

 20,000 geraniums and other bedders in 

 proportion a'nd^ feeveral/ of our other 

 firms had almost as many, yet no one 

 had enough. 



Geny Bros, report business good last 

 week, with plenty of first-class stock 

 coming in. They have a large supply 

 of both white and>irQbrum lilies, roses 

 and gladioli. They are cutting both 

 purple and white afiters liberally and 

 their pink asters have been coming in 

 the last few days. Stock cleaned up 

 nicely at the last of the week. 



Joy & Sons report business good last 



week, although a little dull for a few 

 days previously. They are getting a 

 large cut of Kaiserin and Maryland 

 roses, with an abundance of asters and 

 gladioli. Mr. Joy is growing a larger 

 quantity of gladioli this year than ever 

 before, with a view to producing his 

 own bulbs for forcing. He is making 

 shipments of cut flowers regularly now. 



Haury & Sons report business a little 

 dull the last few days, with just enough 

 funeral work to keep things moving. 

 They have had a good supply of pot 

 plants of all kinds and the demand for 

 them to use in decorations is constantly 

 growing here. 



What has been said of these firms is 

 in the main true of all the others, and 

 with a rapidly growing city the outlook 

 is bright for the business. F. B. 



NORTHERN INDIANIANS MEET.

KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Business is extremely dull, of course, 

 as it always is in July, but occasion- 

 ally there is a run of funeral work to 

 relieve the monotony. Gladioli are 

 plentiful and of good quality. Amer- 

 ica still is the leading variety, with 

 Augusta a close second. Asters are im- 

 proving in quality and are more plenti- 

 ful than they were, selling fairly well- 

 There are few roses.
