The Weekly Florists' Review. 



UEiEMiiEU ■-':! isit: 



KANSAS CITY. 



The first issia- of the RKViiiw was a 

 genuine surjjrise, and the one just to 

 hand is even better than the first. The 

 general introduction is all right. It makes 

 us acquainted with men we read about 

 but seldom see, especially we poor fellows 

 in the West that are too poor to travel. 

 It is truly gratifyini; to receive what you 

 are giving us, something good and sub- 

 stantial—articles on orchids, hardy stuff, 

 and a hundred and one good things that 

 can be used in our business profitably. 



Trade is very quiet, very little doing in 

 societv, and, worse still, no funeral work 

 of any account. Roses are offered from 

 50 cents to #1.50 per dozen. 



Arthur Newell has just issued his first 

 cut flower list, and the towns in Missouri, 

 Kansas, and Nebraska are flooded with 

 them. Arthur says his stamp bill is 

 awful, and when his orders come in will 

 have to get him a shipping clerk. 



The chrysanthemum is gone. Some 

 report they were (). K., and many more 

 say not like former years. The large 

 blooms were most in demand. Things 

 look like Chri.stmas now with green and 

 holly in all the stores. S. 



DES MOINES, lA. 



The annual meeting of the Des Moines 

 I'lorists' Club was held Monday evening, 

 Dec. 13th, when the following officers 

 were elected: Peter Lambert, president; 

 John Lorenz, vice-president; Julius 

 Liedig, treasurer; J. T. D. Fulmer, secre- 

 tary. The club will most likely attend 

 the convention at Omaha in a body and 

 from present talk there will be no lack of 

 enthnsia.sni. 



The State Horticultural Societv met in 

 our city Dec. 14th. J. T.' D. K.

Mr. Washburn, of Bassett iV: Washburn, 

 Chicago, notes less call for cut fronds of 

 adiantum ferns and expresses the opinion 

 that the large use of the foliage of the 

 plant upon which the flower grew is re- 

 ducing the demand for other foliage. The 

 call for asparagus is good, however, and 

 this is probably also taking the place of 

 ferns to some extent.
