The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JUXE 5, 1902. 



KANSAS CITY. MO. 



Trade Items. 



There is great rejoicing in Missouri 

 and Kansas. The cause — a preeipita- 

 , tion of five inches of rain. It is four- 

 . teen months since we had such a good 

 soaking or even enough rain to thor- 

 oughly revive vegetation. The country 

 hereabouts now looks flourishing and the 

 Missouri river, which almost lost itself 

 during the drought, is again filled to 

 overflowing, assuring us of a sufficient 

 water supply for the summer. 



The volume of business done here last 

 week was phenomenal and everything 

 that looked like a flower from a potato 

 blossom to the commonest garden rose, 

 was put to some use. We had difficulty 

 in getting enough choice stock for our 

 public school commencement exercises, 

 which were held early in the week, and 

 it is gratifying to the trade that the 

 custom of presenting flowers to the 

 graduates is permitted and gaining in 

 favor here. 



Never was the demand so great for 

 Memorial day as this year. We were 

 expecting it and bought accordingly. 

 To give an idea of the quantity of 

 stock sold, there was no less than sixty 

 big boxes of flowers shipped to this 

 market from Chicago on Wednesday and 

 Thursday, with rose orders only par- 

 tially filled. Brides and Maids were 

 poor and decidedly scarce. We noticed 

 some very good Beauties in Arthur Kew- 

 e'll's store which retailed at $10 a dozen. 

 Arthur says he expressed on Wednesday 

 to his country trade eighty-five boxes 

 of flowers, ranging in price from $1 

 to $5 each. There was the usual call 

 for floral designs, and outdoor material 

 could only be used for such work. From 

 Dallas, Texas, we got several thousand 

 Cape Jasmines which were exceptionally 

 good and helped us out fine. 



Social affairs are disappointing and 

 not what we expect at this season of the 

 year. 



The recent rains have greatly accel- 

 erated the sales on plants, and bedding- 

 out can now be done more expeditiously 

 than it was two weeks ago. The con- 

 tract for planting the parks and the 

 paseo was awarded to W. J. Barnes. 



John Vesey, who leased the old Baker 

 greenhouses last fall, has proved his abil- 

 ity as a grower and is still cutting some 

 fine carnations. His bedding stock com- 

 pares favorably with any in town. Ex- 

 tensive improvements are planned for 

 this summer. John is a hard worker 

 and deserves success. 



The learned Koss, who runs a store 

 at 817 Walnut street, now smiles the 

 full length of his counter and tells us 

 he is in liusiness to stay. Mr. Ross 

 carries a large variety of stock and ad- 

 vertises liberally. 



D. Friedenthall, who for three years 

 has conducted a flower stand in the 

 Union depot, was obliged to vacate ow- 

 ing to lack of room and is now nicely 

 located across from the depot on Union 

 avenue. 



Fred Weber, of St. Louis, has been 

 engaged by Mr. Kellogg to manage his 

 store on Grand avenue. 



George Braikenbury, of Pleasant Hill, 

 Mo., has accepted a position with Arthur 

 Newell. H. J. M. 



Plymouth, O.— Miss Fannie E. Case 

 reports an excellent Decoration Day 

 trade and business good in general.
