Miss Elizabeth Sadler and Miss Agnes

 Flower Shop at 1140 Leland avenue, 

 have closed out their stock and dis- 

 solved partnership. 



When the application of G. E. "Whit- 

 ney, trustee for the George M. Garland 

 Co., bankrupt, for permission to sell 

 the property, came up for hearing be- 

 fore Beferee Eastman, May 29, the mat- 

 ter was postponed to June 4, there 

 being no bids. In the meantime the 

 trustee was instructed to consider plans 

 for a sale at auction. When the matter 

 came up June 4 the sale was again 

 postponed until June 12, as a number 

 of prospective bidders desired more 

 time in investigating the property. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Betail business has been exception- 

 ally good, though the weather has been 

 hot all the week. The weather was un- 

 favorable for the wholesalers, however, 

 as it was necessary for the retailers 

 to have only fresh stock. Memorial day 

 exceeded all expectations; everything in 

 the cut flower and plant line sold well. 

 Peonies took the lead, being sold out 

 entirely for the day. Carnations were 

 the next in the race and were cleaned 

 up fast; more of them could have been 

 sold. Boses did not sell as well as ex- 

 pected, though none could be had on 

 Friday at noon. Outdoor Spanish iris 

 just came into bloom for Memorial day 

 and sold well. A great many differ- 

 ent kinds of shrubs were in bloom, but 

 seem to have no effect on the flower- 

 buying public on Memorial day. Made- 

 up wreaths were sold heavily at $1 to 

 $5. Everybody had a large increase 

 over last year's shipping business. Bed- 

 ding stock sold readily, and everyone 

 who planted graves with geraniums got 

 them on Thursday, which made it eas- 

 ier for the general retail florist to get 

 his orders out on Friday. 



Various Notes. 



'The Alpha Floral Co. reports that 

 Memorial day business showed an in- 

 crease over last year. Peonies and car- 

 nations were the best sellers. The firm 

 had thirty-five employees for Memorial 

 day and shipped 498 boxes of cut flow- 

 ers out of town on Thursday.

 harder this year to get orders out in
