The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



APRIL IT, 1902, 



KANSAS aTY. MO. 



Trade luis sliown remarkable activity 

 since the first of the month. There is a 

 steady deniaud for funeral work. Coun- 

 ter trade is also increasing. This mar- 

 ket is fairly deluged with stock to suit 

 the tastes and pocketbooks of everybody, 

 and it all sells. We now have our regu- 

 lar bargain days, and last Saturday there 

 were no less than 60,000 carnations sold 

 at from 12 to 35 cents per dozen ; 15,000 

 assorted roses at 50 cents per dozen, and 

 3,000 American Beauties at from 25 cents 

 to $3 per dozen. 



Society is apparently sidetracked for 

 awhile. Divorces are being substituted 

 for marriages, and we hear of very few 

 decorations for entertainments of any im- 

 portance. 



The Kansas City spirit has again as- 

 serted itself in a way that will help to 

 educate the young generation in the art 

 of gardening. A brilliant idea, and 

 which originated with the Woman's Aux- 

 iliary of the JIanufacturers' Association, 

 is the distributing of 00,000 small pack- 

 ages of seed among the school children 

 for the purpose of encouraging the grow- 

 ing of flowers. To insure good results 

 premiums will be given to those display- 

 ing the most skill in helping to make our 

 city more beautiful. 



The first automobile ride indulged in 

 by the writer was taken one day last 

 week, when, in company with W. L. 

 Eock, we visited the greenhouses of the 

 Roek-Hcite Co., located on South Troost 

 avenue. This finely constnu-tcd range 

 of houses was built last summer, but ow- 

 ing to the extreme heat and drought was 

 not planted with young stock until late 

 in the fall. Under Charley Heite's effi- 

 cient management everything is in a 

 thrifty condition, especially the carna- 

 tions, and such varieties as Crane, Mar- 

 quis, Scott and Mary Wood are here 

 grown to perfection. A bench of sweet 

 peas and one of Spanish iris have also 

 proved very profitable the last two 

 months, and this enter|)rising young firm 

 is exultant over the success of its ven- 

 ture. It is Mr. Rock's intention to add 

 20,000 feet more glass the coming sum- 

 mer. 



Mr. F. J. Taggart thinks the time 

 rather premature to publish the general 

 plan of next November's show, and re- 

 marked that Kansas City had the only 

 convention hall and would not be out- 

 done by other cities in giving a flower 

 show. The services of the following gen- 

 tlemen have been secured to act as 

 judges: Edwin A. Kanst, of Chicago; 

 John Young, secretary of the New York 

 Florists' Club, and Edwin Lonsdale, of 

 Philadelphia. ' H. J. M. 



THE BEST EVER. 



Your paper is a fine drawer for orders 

 —the best we ever saw; so good that it 

 has forced us to work day and night, 

 not running our stock out, but down so 

 fast we were afraid our overflow of new 

 orders would cramp us. We never allow 

 our stock to get below a certain point.
