The Florists^ Review 



August 17, 1916. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 

 There is little change in market con- 

 ditions. Home-grown stock has short- 

 ened considerably, but shipments from 

 out of town have been heavier than 

 usual. The hot, dry weather continues. 

 Gladioli, lilies and asters are of fair 

 quality. These are the only flowers at 

 present, except a few open roses. Busi- 

 ness has been better than is expected 

 for this time of year, consisting chiefly 

 of funeral work. 



Various Notes. 



Adolph Mohr was married August 2 

 to Miss Ellen Heslip. The couple left 

 for Chicago for a short visit. 



Frank L. Barnes, son of W. J. Barnes, 

 was married last week to Miss Stella 

 M. Sheppard. 



T. J. Noll & Co. are installing a ^new 

 refrigerator. It is sixteen feet long, 

 seven and one-half feet high and seven 

 feet deep. 



The Alpha Floral Co. was busy last 

 week. Howard Bartlow and Miss Ellen 

 Collins, of this concern, now are on va- 

 cation trips. 



Arthur Newell says that business is 

 good and that the elm canoes for plants 

 are ready sellers. Miss Kline, book- 

 keeper, is on her vacation. 



The Rosery had another week of good 

 funeral work. It was the best week of 

 funeral work the store ever had dur- 

 ing the summer months. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co. has been busy with a number of 

 out-of-town funeral orders. Stock was 

 scarce. Glen Parker and his family 

 left August 12 for an extended auto- 

 mobile trip through Missouri, Iowa and 

 Illinois. They intend going on to Chi- 

 cago and returning by way of St. Louis. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. is receiv- 

 ing cut stock from Colorado, as the 

 outdoor stock here is short of all de- 

 mands. 



Fred Fromholdt, ^formerly with the 

 W. L. Rock Flower Co., was here on a 

 visit last week. 



George Hampton,' of the Joseph G. 

 Neidinger Co., Philadelphia, Pa.; A. F. 

 Longren, representing the Burlington 

 Willow Ware Shops, of Burlington, la.; 

 J. J. Hess, of Hess & Swoboda, Omaha, 

 Neb.; Frank Stuppy, of St. Joseph, Mo., 

 were visitors to this market last week. 



W. J. B. 



Mineral Point, Va.— S. H. Foster is 

 known for his bedding plants, in which 

 he specializes, but this year he will 

 try his hand at cut flowers as an ex- 

 periment, in addition to his specialty.

BVEBYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of 

 everlaatingr Virg^inia White Cedar will 

 best resist rot or decay. The "Eeystoue" brand

 brated wood, and these goods are painted inside 

 and out with best oil paints, a rich green. 



They are bound with heayy steel hoops for the large 

 size, and electric-welded wire hoops (galvanized) 

 on the small size. The large sizes are trimmea 

 with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and 

 have perforated, removable bottoms. 



These Cedar Tubs are made in all sizes, from 24^ 

 inches top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large 

 for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth. 

 Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with 

 prices, furnished upon request.
