The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



January 9, 1902. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The New Year's Trade. 



The New Year's trade here has been 

 a very satisfactory one for the florists. 

 While all report a good business, some 

 say their business was better than for 

 Christmas, and think that being able to 

 charge a reasonable price for flowers 

 caused an increase in purchases, while 

 the exorbitant prices they were compelled 

 to ask for their stock at Christmas was 

 a barrier to a large class of people. 

 Perhaps the weather had something to 

 do with it, as it continued warm all the 

 week, and with the thermometer at 58 

 degrees above zero people were able to 

 get out. It was a Happy New Year at 

 any rate for the florists. 



The usual number of holiday recep- 

 tions and balls, the leading event being 

 at Convention Hall, absorbed large quan- 

 tities of stock. Convention Hall, the 

 scene of the New Year's ball, was beau- 

 tifully decorated. It looked like a "glen 

 in the forest," as a daily paper put it. 

 Great quantities of wild smilax and 

 other greens were used, interspersed 

 with carnations for color effect. It was 

 altogether charming and showed the 

 wonderful adaptability of this hall to 

 decorative effects. 



Notes. 



Your correspondent recently stated in 

 his notes that C. S. Short was the only 

 florist in Kansas City, Kan. Mr. Short 

 wishes this corrected, as Mrs. Laundy, 

 at Tenth and Keynolds, has a nice place. 

 Mrs. Laundy, in addition to her cut 

 flower trade, grows a large stock of bed- 

 ding plants and is doing a thriving busi- 

 ness. John H. Vesey. 



KALAMAZOO, MICH. 



Business during New Year week was 

 brisk, prices keeping up to nearly Christ- 

 mas figures. In roses the supply of 

 Brides and Bridesmaids was rather lim- 

 ited. Beauties, Meteors and Golden 

 Gates being more plentiful; demand 

 good. Carnations are plentiful and 

 promise a good cut during the month. 

 The demand is good at $4 and $5 per 

 100; quality fine. 



G. Van Bochove & Bro. are retailing 

 some very select stock at $1 and $1.50 

 per dozen, their Lawson, Bradt, Mar- 

 quis, Prosperity, Lorna and White Cloud 

 being especially fine. They are cutting 

 quantities of very fine violets of the Im- 

 perial and Marie Louise varieties, the de- 

 mand being steady at $2 and $2.50 per 

 100. 



The Dunkley Floral Co. are also cut- 

 ting some very fine roses, their Golden 

 Gates being exceptionally fine in quality. 

 Carnations are also of a high grade. 



Rose and carnation progfigation is now 

 in full swing. 



The final step in the absorption of the 

 Kalamazoo Nursery & Floral Company 

 by the Central Michigan Nursery Com- 

 pany has been taken by the former com- 

 pany surrendering its charter and filing 

 notice of dissolution with the secretary 

 of state at Lansing. — Gazette, Janu- 

 ary 5. 



Weather clear and cold. 



RiBES. 



Bay Ridge, N. Y. — The greenhouses 

 of William Deetzer were damaged to 

 the extent of about $300 by fire the 

 morning of Dec. 22. No insurance.
