The Florists' Review 



Fbbeuabt 16, 1917. 



DAVENPORT, R. ISLAND, MOLINE. 



The Markets. 



Business was brisk last week. Eoses 

 and lilies are in short supply and carna- 

 tions are none too plentiful for a large 

 demand. Sweet peas are in sufficient 

 supply for requirements, but violet re- 

 ceipts could be larger. Eomans, tulips, 

 daffodils and narcissi are in liberal sup- 

 ply and, as a rule, of good quality. Pot- 

 ted plants are selling well. 



Club Meeting. 



The February meeting of the Tri-City 

 Florists' Club was held at the residence 

 of H. G. Pauli, with a rather light at- 

 tendance. The session was largely taken 

 up witii a discussion of the preliminary 

 work connected with the fall flower 

 show. E. M. C. Eohlf, C. Sorensen and 

 L. Stapp were appointed a committee to 

 nominate the officers for the ensuing 

 year and to report at the next meeting, 

 when the election will be held. The next 

 meeting will be held at Moline, exact 

 location of the club rooms for the meet- 

 ing to be announced later. W. G. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



The rush of business prevailing since 

 the advent of the year is still in opera- 

 tion. Valentine's day business was ex- 

 pected to surpass all previous records 

 and more advertising than ever before 

 was done by the retailers for this day. 



Prices continue satisfactory. More 

 bulbous stock is offered; there is a 

 weakened call for the lower grades of 

 carnations and roses. Eoses continue 

 scarce and high in price in all colors, 

 except the whites, the price of which 

 has declined a little. There is a steady 

 increase in the production of carnations, 

 bulbous stock and sweet peas. Tulips 

 and jonquils seem to take the lead and 

 the crop of these is good. Violets are 

 arriving in inferior condition on account 

 of the cold weather. Green goods are 

 extra scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Newell reported that he was 

 making big preparations for Valen- 

 tine 's day. He is marketing large quan- 

 tities of bulbous stock in pans. 



The W. L. Eock Flower Co. has a fine 

 lot of cyclamens, azaleas and bulbous 

 stock. This concern has roses, carna- 

 tions and sweet peas of uncommonly 

 good quality. 



T. J. Noll & Co. rei)ort that their ship- 

 ping business last week was unusually 

 heavy. They now are handling fine 

 bulbous stock and their supply business 

 is heavy. 



Henry Kusik & Co. still are rushed in 

 the wire department, the out-of-town 

 trade being unusually strong in this line. 

 The cut flower department also has been 

 fc[uite busy. 



The Oakwood Floral & Farm Co. in 

 the near future will devote its entire 

 range to cut flowers. This firm now has 

 several houses of vegetables. 



The management of the Forest Hill 

 cemetery is contemplating the erection 

 of several additional houses, larger than 

 any it now operates. These houses will 

 be devoted to cut flowers for the ceme- 

 tery trade. 



Mr. Eeinhardt is bringing in some of 

 the best sweet peas this market has had 

 for some time.
