The Florists' Review 



^v:-.i 



Jdlt 27, 1916. 



nata, or cucumber tree, attaining forty 

 to fifty feet in height, and M. tripetala, 

 or umbrella catalpa, thirty to forty 

 feet, are beautifully formed trees, with 

 large, glossy leaves. Though the flow- 

 ers are less showy, they are still desir- 

 able trees. 



Magniolia grandiflora, the "glorious 

 magnolia of the south," the most beau- 

 tiftU of all magnolias, is not hardy as 

 far north as the other native sorts or 

 the Chinese varieties are. The northern 

 limit of its successful growth is about 

 the latitude of Louisville, Ky., to 

 southern Missouri. E. Y. Teas. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Business last week was more brisk 

 than that of the week previous, a condi- 

 tion attributed to a large number of 

 funeral orders. The hot weather still 

 is with us. Gladioli are the main out- 

 door flowers, but their quality is not 

 up to the average. Gypsophila is off 

 the market. Early dahlias are not good, 

 as the weather has been too dry, and 

 now the hot sun affects the flowers. 

 Good quality roses are scarce; the in- 

 ferior grades, too, are diminishing in 

 quantity. Lilies are plentiful and are 

 being used freely in funeral work. Car- 

 nations are off the market, excepting a 

 few coming from Colorado. 



Various Note& 



James Payne is putting in a new Lord 

 & Burnham boiler at his range. He 

 may have to give up his present place 

 in another year, as the city plans to 

 run a street through the grounds on 

 which his greenhouses are located. Sid- 

 ney Cotgreave, with Mr. Payne, moved 

 to EigWy-second street and Garfield 

 avenue, where he has more ground for 

 his rabbits. Mr. Cotgreave now has 

 more than 200 pedigree rabbits, some of 

 which are highly valued Belgian stock. 



W. J. Barnes is getting his green- 

 houses in shape for the fall trade. He 

 BOW has a nice lot of chrysanthemums 

 in 6-inch and 8-inch pots. His carna- 

 tions are all planted. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co. did a big business. Stock here 

 seems scarce. Mr. Blackberry is at 

 Pleasant Hill. He will stay at the green- 

 houses all summer. Charles Thomas left 

 for a two weeks' vacation. 



Bay Sturgeon has leased the green- 

 house of Mr. Mohr for three years. He 

 will grow chrysanthemums, carnations 

 and sweet peas. Mr. Sturgeon formerly 

 was with Mr. Mohr. 



Henry Kusik & Co. have received a 

 carload of moss from the north. Bay 

 Blessing left for his vacation this week. 



T. J. Noll & Co. still are receiving 

 fine, large carnations from Colorado, 

 and they sell as fast as they come in. 



Arthur Newell is back from his east- 

 em trip, which he enjoyed immensely. 

 He reports that funeral work has been 

 quite heavy. 



Miss Jennie Murray leaves for Michi- 

 gan August 4 and will stay there for 

 several weeks. 



Hugo Neff, of the W. L. Bock Flower 

 Co., left for a several weeks' stay in 

 Denver, Colo. Lloyd Monson went to 

 Pittsburg, Kan., and Miss Schmeding- 

 hoss, too, has gone on a vacation. Miss 

 Bichards is confined to her home with 

 vome sort of poisoning. W. J. B.
