The Florists' Review 



Apbil 6, 1916. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Business was steady all week and an 

 improvement over that of the week 

 previous. Stock of all kinds is plenti- 

 ful, but there is no glut as yet in the 

 market, although it has been expected. 

 The supply of roses is increasing and 

 there is a marked improvement in the 

 quality. The demand is mostly for 

 medium length stock and short stock is 

 well cleaned up. There is not a strong 

 demand for the fancy grades. 



Carnations have been plentiful and 

 at present are the finest this market 

 has seen this season, as regards size, 

 length of stem and color. Good sweet 

 peas were short on several occasions 

 last week. These this spring are the 

 best that the growers have ever pro- 

 duced. Easter lilies are plentiful, in 

 fact, almost too plentiful, as some of 

 them are being wasted, and more are 

 expected this week. Violets are about 

 gone and few were received last week. 

 Bulbous stock is not any too plentiful. 

 Jonquils and daffodils were the scarcest 

 last week. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. Elberfield were at 

 the National Flower Show. 



Henry Kusik & Co. have been exceed- 

 ingly busy all winter in the wire de- 

 partment. They are working overtime 

 nearly every day. They now are re- 

 ceiving a nice lot of roses daily from 

 Council Bluffs, la. 



Jacob Hepting is sending in some 

 extra fine Enchantress carnations. He 

 has had a good crop of these all winter. 



The Rosery is displaying a fine line 

 of bulbous stock, both in pots and cut, 

 and good stock is expected for Easter 

 sales. 



A. F. Barbe is cutting large quanti- 

 ties of carnations, lilies and miscel- 

 laneous stock. He has the framework 

 of his new rose house completed. 



Costello Moore had a big run on fu- 

 neral work last week. 



Biedermann & Son had another busy 

 week of decorations, which is unusual 

 during the Lenten season. 



Hayes Bicker, head grower for the 

 Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., 

 was in the city last week and he re- 

 ported that all the Kellogg houses are 

 in fine shape. This company is con- 

 templating the erection of more houses 

 this year. 



C. F. Beinhart is sending in a special 

 lot of Butterfly sweet peas. He is going 

 to build another house this summer. 



Arthur Newell says he believes Easter 

 has already hit him, as he is disposing 

 of a large quantity of pot plants, as 

 well as Tausendschon roses in pots. 



Visitors last week were Morris L#e 

 Vine, of Lion & Co., New York; B. G. 

 Vickery, of Horton, Kan. W. J. B.

DIRT BANDS 



Very aoon every grower will be mak- 

 ing free use of dirt bands for the grow- 

 ing of all plants. Certainly, no florist- 

 can afford to pass them by. They are' 

 time and money savers, producing better 

 plants at less cost and with less labor. 

 It simply is a question of getting th» 

 best band. 



Our new BEADY-USE dirt band tella 

 its own story. Send a postal for free 

 samples and see how it does it. It comea 

 to you ready to set the plant in, whicb^ 

 means saving of very valuable time re- 

 quired to fold the ordinary strips of 

 paper commonly offered for bands. 



We make plain bands, too, from high- 

 grade, hard finish stock. Samples wilk 

 be sent. Compare them with others and 

 put them to any test. It is not how 

 cheap, but how good, is our motto.
