The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBER 26, 1899. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



Carnival week was a very satisfac- 

 tory one with florists in that they dis- 

 posed of a considerable quantity of 

 small palms and ferns to country tradi 

 Upwards of 200.000 visitors were doing 

 Kansas City during the week. Very lit- 

 tle natural material was used in deco- 

 rating Convention Hall. It was given 

 out that the committee would expend 

 $1,500 in green stuff and cut flowers, 

 hut the decorations consisted largely 

 of artificial palms, paper flowers, etc., 

 and only a wagon-load or so of real 

 palms were used. Such is our prog- 

 ress! 



Mr. Friedenthal, formerly in com- 

 pany with Robt. Jarrett & Son, has 

 opened up a flower stand in the new 

 Union depot. 



Among the new florists are Mrs. Day 

 on Walnut street, also Mrs. Edgar on 

 the same street. 



Wanted — A first-class, A No. 1 

 peacemaker, to patch up differences be- 

 tween old members of che Kansas City 

 Florists' Club. 



First violets were on the market this 

 week, both double and California. Very 

 little demand. Beauties have the call 

 at present, and are of good quality. 

 Some few mums have made their ap- 

 pearance. They are not in demand ex- 

 cept for weddings or decorations. W.

The frost which we had, and it was 

 a heavy one, was of considerable bene- 

 fit to the market up to the past week. 

 Cosmos and dahlias have been very 

 plentiful. Cosmos selling as low as 1 

 cent per bunch, with about 50 sprays 

 to the bunch. Dahlias, the finest, 

 brought 25 to 50 cents per 1O0. Out- 

 door mums glutted the market. Violets 

 are very fine and plentiful and are go- 

 ing at from 20 to 40 cents per 100. 

 Roses of all kinds are coming in plen- 

 tifully; are fine and sell well. Brides 

 and Maids bring from 4 to 6 cents; Me- 

 teors and La France, 6 cents. Large 

 mums don't go at all and prices are too 

 low to mention. On account of late 

 planting carnations are very scarce and 

 hard to get: they bring 1% and 2 

 cents. P. J. Berckmans, Augusta, Ca., 

 was a visitor this week.
