The Florists' Review 



November 9, 19J.6. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



The augmented receipts of chrysan- 

 themums are having a telling effect on 

 the sale of all other items of cut stock. 

 There are too many mums at one time. 

 The warm and clear weather seemed to 

 bring all of them into flower last week; 

 varieties scheduled to come on a week 

 or two later are here, and apparently 

 there will be few, if any, yellows for 

 Thanksgiving — even the Fricks are well 

 advanced. 



Stock at the wholesalers' is more than 

 plenteous and prices have taken a tum- 

 ble far down the scale. Extra fine 

 Ophelia, Kussell and Killarney roses ex- 

 change hands at the prices the buyer 

 dictates. Carnations are coming back 

 in larger quantities and show consider- 

 able improvement. They sell at a fair 

 price, when one considers the pressure 

 of the flood of mums. Violets are 

 wanted and therefore move out satis- 

 factorily. Pot plants are requisitioned 

 as soon as they make their appearance. 

 Greens have shifted to the long side of 

 the market. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. Barnes has sold a large num- 

 ber of mum plants in 6 and 8-inch pots. 

 He also is responsible for some top-notch 

 exhibition mums. 



Adolph Mohr has practically sold out 

 all his cut mums — two weeks earlier 

 than usual. 



A visit to C. E. Gray's found the 

 place in fine shape. For cut flowers 

 Mr. Gray has a fine lot of sweet peas 

 and carnations. He has one large house 

 devoted to tomatoes, and they look like 

 prize-winners. 



A. F. Barbe is cutting a good batch 

 of Ophelia roses and his carnations are 

 doing well. His mum crop this year 

 is the best he has ever had. 



The Peterson Floral Co. had one of 

 the largest decorations of the season 

 last week, in which it used twelve large 

 potted mums for one part of the show. 



Samuel Murray last week had one of 

 the best window displays seen for some 

 time. It contained pot and cut mums 

 and baskets of mums so arranged that 

 all the colors blended perfectly. 



Fred Fromhold reports that, for a be- 

 ginner of only two weeks' standing, 

 business was a surprise to him — far bet- 

 ter than he ever expected it to be. 



Arthur Newell says he cannot get 

 enough good pot mums to supply the de- 

 mand. He had a good run of funeral 

 work and decorations last week. 



T. J. Noll says he is overloaded with 

 cut mums, from the smallest sizes to the 

 largest. Valley is coming in heavily. 



Miss Jennie Murray remains confined 

 to her home and will not be able to re- 

 turn to work for another week. 



August Luther is cutting some fine 

 stevias, the first reported this season. 

 He savs business is good.
