The local trade improved somewhat last week and a steady increase is ex- pected from now on, as most of the flower-buying people are back from their summer trips. Funeral Work has been heavy all the week. Cut flowers are more plentiful. Gladioli and asters are the leaders. • Asters have improved since last week and have increased in quantity. Lilies of different kinds are still in the market. Roses are more plentiful. Some nice Russell roses ap- peared and were bought as soon as un- packed. Little has been seen of dahlias so far this summer, but a fair cut is expected late this month. Out- door snapdragons are available but are of inferior grade. The stock of greens has improved since last week. Various Notes. Peter Martin has finished the build- ing of another greenhouse, 31x103. He has one large house devoted to gera- nium stock plants, which are looking fine. He also has made such changes that he will have no more trouble with water in the boiler pit. The range of the Linwood Floral Co. was leased lately by Weber Bros, for ten years. They have been remodeling the place and have added a new green- house, 20x50. They~ will devote the place entirely to pot plants. Reinhardt & Son, at Shawnee Mis- sion, have one house in chrysanthe- mums and one in carnations aiid the stock is excellent. They are contem- plating' the building of several new houses in the near future. The houses will all be detached. Their outdoor perennials this year have fiot equaled last year's showing. They have about two acres of perennials. W. J. Barnes has begun his regular fall decorations for the Emory, Bird & Thayer Dry Goods Co., using over 150 ferns and palms this week. E. Humfeld is back from his lOO-acre farm in the Ozark mountains. He gained nineteen pounds while away. He says that he got plenty of fish and that the hunting also is good on his place. R. S. B
