The Florists' Review 



January 18. 1917. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Keal winter weather prevailed last 

 week, but business was as good as could 

 be expected. Funeral work was more 

 abundant than during the previous week. 

 There was a large supply of some cut 

 flowers; other items were scarce. There 

 was a shortage of roses of all colors, but 

 especially reds. The roses obtainable, 

 however, were of fine quality. More 

 bulbous stock is arriving. Lilies are 

 short of the demand. Carnations of good 

 quality are a strong factor in the mar- 

 ket. Sweet peas and California violets 

 are plentiful, and if the bright weather 

 continues for another week, they will be 

 too plentiful, as more are being grown 

 this year than in previous years. Greens 

 are plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Murray had many decorations 

 for the implement houses, which put on 

 their exhibit this week. 



W. J. Barnes executed a large decora- 

 tion for the International Harvester Co. 

 for its implement display. Mr. Barnes 

 last week received a large shipment of 

 rhododendrons, lilacs and other flower- 

 ing shrubs, which were badly frozen in 

 transit. 



Fred Froniholdt was busy during the 

 week Avith funeral work, turning out 

 some of the largest pieces he has worked 

 on since starting the business. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co. reports its' rose crop as being short 

 of the demand, but that there are plenty 

 of other flowers to help out. This con- 

 cern is selling extra fine cyclamens and 

 ferns in all sizes. 



Adolph Mohr will have about 750 

 rose plants and 2,000 Easter lily plants 

 in pots for Eas-ter. His bedding stock 

 is looking well. He has about 25,000 

 geraniums of good size for the spring 

 trade. 



The management of the Forest Hill 

 cemetery is going to build another house 

 in the near future, larger than any of 

 the other houses. It will be devoted to 

 carnations and the older houses will be 

 planted to chrysanthemums and bedding 

 stock. 



The W. L. Eock Flower Co. reports 

 that stock has shortened in supply, but 

 that this will not last long, as a large 

 crop is coming on. 



T. J. Noll & Co. say that roses are not 

 coming in fast enough, but that there is 

 plenty of other stock. W. J. B. 



NEWABK, N. J. 



The Market. 



While there has been a drop in prices 

 of flowers since the holidays, it has not 

 been much. The prices of carnations 

 and sweet peas are about the same as 

 during the holidays. Roses are fairly 

 plentiful and of good quality. More 

 sweet peas are coming in and carnations 

 are more abundant. Ferns continue to 

 sell well and there is a demand for potted 

 plants. Baskets of small potted plants 

 sell readily. 



Various Notes. 



Philips Bros, report business good, 

 with considerable funeral work at 

 present. 



The January number of the house jour- 

 nal issued by Henry A. Strobell is off the 

 press. R. B. M. 



Do It Now! 



Go over your Rose Houses carefully and estimate the plants you need 

 for replanting this Spring, and place your order. Roses are going to be 

 scarce. The Manetti situation is such that those who get it are fortunate, and the 

 demand is far greater than the limited supply. We have sold over lOO.OCO grafted 

 Roses in the last two weeks. We have 200.000 more to sell. There is considerable 

 building contemplated. "Changing from Carnations to Roses" is a frequent expla- 

 nation made when placing an order. If you are short at planting time it will be 

 your fault and not ours. The growing of grafted Roses is an industry in itself. At 

 Cromwell the large quantity of Roses grown for cut flowers makes it possible to get 

 scions that are first-class. We want your Rose Plant order, and we want to be able 

 to say "yes" to your inauiry. Estimate your requirements and write us.
