KANSAS CITY, MO. 



Qateway to the West. 



It has been some years since the local 

 people were so well supplied with that 

 valuable summer flower, the gladiolus. 

 The quality is all that can be expected. 

 Asters are improving and arriving in 

 larger quantities, but the demand is 

 keeping them moving at low prices. 



Growers see an unusually bright pros- 

 pect for the fast coming mums, but some 

 are worried that they may come to crop 

 too soon. Everyone is busy now, roses 

 having been benched, in moving the car- 

 nations in from the field. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Newell and wife are in Eu- 

 rope, chiefly to visit the city of Nor- 

 folk, the old home of Mr. Newell. 



James A. Biggam, our progressive 

 decorator, reports he has secured the 

 two largest jobs of the year. For the 

 moose convention he will decorate four- 

 teen city blocks with moose shields, 

 flags, bunting and banners. He also will 

 decorate Convention hall for the con- 

 vention and the banquet, at which will 

 be seated 2,200. Garden theater also is 

 to have a big decoration. 



Electric park bathing beach continues 

 to be the Mecca of Kansas City's flo- 

 rists who are unable to take vacations. 



The W. L. Rock Co. enjoyed an unu-' 

 sually good July business. Within a 

 week two beautiful casket covers were 

 made, together with many handsome de- 

 signs. Mr. Rock is back from Lake 

 View, as are Messrs. Miller, Carter, 

 Clark and Fitchue. 



Geo. Papadakos, of the Owl Floral 

 Co., recently was overcome by the heat. 

 He is under a doctor's care, with pros 

 pects of a speedy recovery. 



A. F. Barbee and wife are in Eu- 

 rope. They expect to return October 1. 



N. J. Flint, of Richmond, Mo., was in 

 town recently, as were Robert Bebt, of 

 the Muskogee Carnation Co., Muskogee, 

 Okla.; J. W. Furrow, of Furrow & Co., 

 Guthrie, Okla., and Mr. Gentemann, of 

 Quincy, HI. 



S. Bryson Ayres Co., of Independence. 

 Mo., has purchased a new tract of land. 

 Bids are being received for a range of 

 houses covering 360x640 feet. The work 

 of building will be rushed, so that stock 

 can be grown for winter trade. 



Kent Atkins, of the Alpha Floral Co., 

 is back from his fishing trip. 



E. H. H.

 using a new motor car for delivery 

 purposes.

He Has His Name Up 

 Who's He? 



Why, Godfrey Aschmann, the Araucaria King of 

 Philadelphia. He and his Araucarias are more popular than 

 pennies are with school children. No arguments needed to 

 sell his goods ; 25 years' experience in importing and ship- 

 ping the Araucaria (his specialty) makes him the Arau- 

 caria King of ali America.
