March 16, 1916. 



KAirSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



The market was well supplied with 

 stock all week, and, although the de- 

 mand was not as heavy as that of the 

 week previous, everyone was well satis- 

 fied with the quantity of business trans- 

 acted. Eoaes were plentiful through- 

 out the week, but the quotations were 

 unchanged. American Beauties were 

 ofif crop, but some extra fine Bussell 

 roses were received and they practically 

 replaced the Beauties. Killarneys ar- 

 rived in large quantities. The carna- 

 tion supply is short and prices have 

 risen. This is due to an off crop with 

 practically every grower in this vicin- 

 ity. 



Violets and sweet peas were in heavy 

 supply all week, resulting in a drop in 

 prices. The sweet peas were of excel- 

 lent quality and had long stems. Lilies 

 were too plentiful last week and a glut 

 is looked for during several weeks. 

 Bulbous stock is scarce, whereas last 

 year there easily was too much of it. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. Barnes had the decorations at 

 a large dry goods store for its Easter 

 opening. ' He used twenty-two dozen 

 palms and ferns and about twenty doz- 

 en blooming plants of rhododendrons, 

 cinerarias, lilies, deutzias, spirseas and 

 lilacs. Mr. Barnes has had this annual 

 decoration for more than sixteen years. 



Arthur Newell reports that the pot 

 plant business has easily exceeded his 

 expectations and that it is hard to get 

 enough to fill the demand for the plants. 



The W. L. Eock Flower Co. had a 

 unique window display of birds and 

 bird houses last week. The window 

 was a big drawing card. 



William Foith was confined to the 

 sick room all of last week, with the 

 grip. Sunday he was able to take a 

 walk to the greenhouses. 



Miss Lou E. Boggess last week had a 

 large batch of funeral work for Carroll- 

 ton. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co. had another large run of out-of- 

 town funeral work, besides the city 

 work. Stock was rather scarce with 

 this concern. 



Henry Kusik & Co. report that the 

 wire and supply department is working 

 overtime to fill the orders. 



Samuel Murray was exceedingly busy 

 last week, decorations continuing to be 

 a heavy item. W. J. B.
