The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Dlvl-KJIBER 20. 1900. 



KANSAS QTY. MO. 



The Market. 



A visit to several of the leading estab- 

 lishments revealed the fact that there is 

 going to be a decided scarcity in most 

 all kin-ds of flowers for Cliristiiias and 

 wholesale prices have already advanced 

 20 per cent more than a year ago. The 

 retailers are wondering where the supply 

 is coming from and consequently a lit- 

 tle cautious about booking large orders. 



We have had no signs of winter here 

 yet and the weather during the past two 

 weeks has been anything but favorable 

 for the growers. 'Albert Barbce is on 

 good terms with himself as all his stock 

 with the exfe|)tion of earirations is com- 

 ing on in full crop for the holidays. 

 His Brides and Maids are grand — cannot 

 be beat. All florists visiting his place 

 can now smoke at Mv. Barbee's expense. 

 He has also a bunch of tine azaleas. 



Trade in the past two weeks has been 

 a little disappointing and not nearly 

 enough funeral stock to please Arthur 

 Xewell. 



Notes. 



Timothy Noll has left the city and en- 

 gaged in business for himself at Joplin. 

 Mo., a thriving mining town wiiere he 

 ought to do well. Percy Beachenburg, 

 an aristocratic looking young man ire the 

 employ of Mr. Geo. M. Kellogg, was in 

 town last week telling us how to grow 

 eight-foot Beauties. Mr. Beachenburg 

 says the houses built last summer are 

 all right, and when he becomes thorough- 

 ly familiar with our climatic changes, 

 thinks he has a remedy that will preven' 

 a shortage of stock at this important 

 time of the year. 



W. C. Ijodder, of Hamilton, Ohio, bound 

 for the Pacific coast, was a visitor las 

 week. Mr. Loddcr is in search of goor' 

 health and recuperated so rapidly while 

 here and was so well impressed with 

 Karesas City, that he promised to return 

 this way. and tell us of things horticul- 

 tural of California. H. .7. M.
