The Florists' Review 



Adgdst 3. 1916. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



The conditions in the market are not 

 what the retailers like, as there is not 

 enough stock to meet the demand. 

 Gladioli, though now the principal flow- 

 ers, are only of fair quality and must 

 be cut when only one bud is open, as 

 the dry, hot weather burns them as fast 

 as they come into flower. An increas- 

 ing number of asters are arriving, but 

 they are small and inferior. A large 

 number of lilies reached the market last 

 week and were sold upon arrival. In 

 carnations and roses, small lots of out- 

 of-town stock were available. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Murray had a unique table 

 decoration at the club last week. He 

 placed an electric fountain in the cen- 

 ter of the table, with water lilies in it 

 and with some fancy-leaved caladiums 

 around the edge. Surrounding these 

 were some well-grown greenhouse grapes 

 in pots. The guests were expected to 

 pick the grapes from the plants. 



Arthur Newell had a big run on fu- 

 neral work last week, including two 

 large out-of-town funerals. He says the 

 only trouble is that he cannot get 

 enough stock. 



E. E. Stockdale has a fine lot of car- 

 nations and begonias and of cyclamens 

 in pots. He is building two new green- 

 houses, one of them 22x62 and the other 

 25x62. 



The W, L. Eock Flower Co. is having 

 a lot of trouble at the greenhouses. 

 The park board is constructing boule- 

 vards all around the houses and the 

 dust from the grading settles heavily 

 on the glass. It is necessary to keep 

 spraying the stock all day in order to 

 keep it clean. 



Dan Ackerman, a vegetable grower 

 who has a lot of cucumbers under glass, 

 is also bothered by the dust from the 

 grading. His cucumbers have a heavy 

 coating on them and it would be diffi- 

 cult to tell whether 'his greenhouse roof 

 is made of tin or glass. 



T. J. Noll & Co. have been short on 

 cut stock all the week, but will soon 

 receive some extra large shipments 

 from the north. 



Henry Kusik says that he sold 3,000 

 Easter lilies in two days last week. 

 He has just received a large shipment 

 of supplies. 



H. E. Humiston, of the Chicago Feed 

 & Fertilizer Co., was here last week. 



W. A. Miller, formerly with the 

 W. L. Rock Flower Co., was in the 

 city last week. He is now with F. C. 

 Weber, in St. Louis. W. J. B.
