The Florists' Review

KANSAS OITY. 



The Market. 



Market conditions last week were 

 stronger. Though a large quantity of 

 stock was received, the demand ex- 

 ceeded the supply. An unusual lot of 

 funeral work saved the market from an 

 oversupply. The receipts of bulbous 

 stock have about doubled and the roses 

 in all colors have increased consider- 

 ably. Carnations also are more plenti- 

 ful, but are not of such good quality; 

 a large proportion of them are splits. 

 Sweet peas and lilies are overabundant. 



Various Notes. 



T. J. Noll & Co. have been working 

 overtime all the week, getting out or- 

 ders. This firm has one steady con- 

 signment of 3,000 carnations and 1,500 

 roses daily, and reports that last week 

 not one flower was put away in the ice- 

 box, as all were sold as soon as they 

 were unpacked. 



Arthur Newell had three large fu- 

 nerals last week, which made it neces- 

 sary to work late in the evenings. He 

 says the sale of pot plants was above 

 the average last week. 



All the downtown florists report that 

 funeral work for the week was the 

 heaviest it ever has been at this time 

 of the year. 



Business across the state line is satis- 

 factory. Funeral work was heavy. A 

 ,good many pot plants were sent to the 

 hospitals last week. 



Adolph Mohr has practically all of 

 his greenhouses now filled with bedding 

 plants, except one house which is de- 

 voted to Easter stock, and his place is 

 looking fine. 



W. J. Barnes has practically sold out 

 his pot plants, except some reserved for 

 use on a large decoration next week.

Your Plants i 



Your customers buy potted plants. Often 

 they wither and die and you are blamed 

 for the failure. It's simply because plant 

 food is lacking. Your customers don't

 the fragrance of the flowers. Just the material

 You can sell several cans of Odorless Fertllo 

 to each customer who buys potted plants and 

 several bags to those with gardens. Make them 

 more successful and they will become flower 

 enthusiasts.

 bines air the essential elements required by 

 p ant life: Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid. Bone, 

 Phosphate of Lime and Potash. Makes the 

 necessary Humus for enriching the soil and is
