The Florists' Review 



January 11, 1917. 



KA.NSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Business last week was good, espe- 

 cially New Year 's, and an increase over 

 that of last year was reported. Deco- 

 rations for dinner parties and weddings, 

 and orders for corsage bouquets, were 

 numerous. The market is well supplied 

 with stock this week, except roses. Bed 

 roses are in heavy demand and the 

 prices are high. Carnations are plenti- 

 ful, if not a little too much so, and the 

 prices are not so high as they were last 

 year. Paper Whites, lilies and stevias 

 are plentiful and good bulbous stock is 

 arriving. Sweet peas are coming in 

 strongly. These have good flowers and 

 long stems. Plumosus and adiantum are 

 plentiful, but greenhouse-grown smilax 



is scarce. 



Various Notes. 



The Eosery reports business good 

 throughout the week. Bulbous stock is 

 coming along in fine shape and it seems 

 to have been the first to appear in the 

 market. 



The Alpha Floral Co. reports that 

 business has increased seventeen and 

 one-half per cent over last year's. 

 Every month during the year showed 

 an increase over the corresponding 

 month of the year previous. 



Arthur Newell says business has not 

 let up since Christmas and that he has 

 been busy with corsage, wedding and 

 funeral orders. 



Charles Biedermann is using one end 

 of one of his greenhouses as a garage 

 for his car. He considers it a good 

 place for the car, as he then can load 

 it easily and work on it when need be. 

 He reports a big increase of business 

 during the last year. 



Miss Edith Eoberts sold her store on 

 East Eleventh street. The name of the 

 new concern is Central Floral Co. 



T. J. Noll & Co. received their first 

 batch of Roman hyacinths last week. 

 Some extra fine roses are being received. 



W. J. Barnes had the order for deco- 

 rating the store of Emory, Bird & 

 Thayer for the white goods sales. A 

 large supply of carnations. Paper 

 Whites and the red begonias are going 

 fast. 



George M. Kellogg Flower & 

 Co. is receiving large consign- 

 of roses, carnations and sweet 

 The greenhouse department is 

 sending in some fine potted plants of 

 azaleas, cyclamens and begonias. Mr. 

 Lamb, the new manager, looks forward 

 to a larger business than last year. 



Henry Kusik & Co. are receiving 

 some fine home-grown carnations. Busi- 

 ness in the wire department has in- 

 creased wonderfully over last year's. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. now is 

 sending in some fine Ophelia and 

 Shawyer roses to its retail store. A 

 large quantity of carnations and sweet 

 peas is being cut. The Cincinnati be- 

 gonias were the best this concern has 

 ever had. 



James B. Mason was sold out entirely 

 New Year's day. Funeral work has 

 been good. He is cutting some nice 

 sweet peas and violets. The pot plants 

 for Easter are looking fine. 



John Stevens is cutting an unusually 

 large number of carnations at his range, 

 the largest he ever has had. W. J. B.
