The Rorists' Review 



July 17, 1919. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



Quantities of gladioli are in the mar- 

 ket and are lending themselves admir- 

 ably to a variety of uses. If it were not 

 for this flower, dealers would be in a 

 bad fix. There is not much of anything 

 else that can be used in such a variety 

 of floral work in midsummer. There 

 are a few roses and a few home-grown 

 carnations coming in. Prices are rea- 

 sonable, wholesale quotations being as 

 follows: Roses, $2 to $8; carnations, 

 $2; gladioli, $4 to $8; gypsophila, 50 

 cents per bunch. Business is fairty 

 good. 



Various Notes. 



July 13 all wholesale florists began to 

 close their stores on Sunday. This 

 movement has been under consideration 

 for some time and will be tried out dur- 

 ing the summer months at least. 



Robert Shoch, of the M. Rice Co., 

 Philadelphia, called on the trade last 

 week. 



Recent visitors were: W. Stokes, 

 Springfield, Mo.; J. Johnson, Ottawa, 

 Kan.; Mrs. R. E. Everett, Pawhuska, 

 Okla. 



Miss Emma Ruechel, who for the last 

 eight years has been one of the most 

 efficient workers in the office force of 

 the Alpha Floral Co., has resigned her 

 position. She will leave shortly for Los 

 Angeles, with her mother and sister. 

 They will reside there. 



Prospects for a wealth of chrysanthe- 

 mums in the market next fall are good. 

 One grower says he will have 30,000. 

 Others report that they vnll have more 

 than they have ever grown before. 



Mrs. Anna Papadokos, of the Apollo 

 Flower Shop, is in Chicago for a few 

 weeks. 



Miss Elizabeth Wark, stenographer 

 for the W. L. Rock Flower Co., is on 

 her vacation. 



The opening of the Continental Na- 

 tional bank last week was the occasion 

 of a large and lavish display of flowers. 

 W. L. Rock is one of the directors of 

 this bank. J. E. K. 



Butler, Pa. — In pursuance of their 

 plan to establish a chain of stores in 

 and about Pittsburgh, the A. W. Smith 

 Co., of that city, have made plans for 

 a store to be built here in the fall.

Doubles your outdoor cut 

 from same space 



MAYBE you are one of 

 the ones who think of 

 the Skinner System as just 

 something that waters. 



It does water — but it 

 doesn't stop at that. 



That is to say, because it 

 waters the way it waters it 

 "starts something." 



That something is mostly 

 more crop. 



It has a way of producing 

 twice the cut of outdoor 

 chrysanthemums, for exam- 

 ple, on exactly the same 

 ground. 



It has another way of re- 

 ducing cultivation costs, be- 



cause when you water when 

 water is needed, you don't 

 need to cultivate so much . 



Further than that, the 

 Skinner System won't cost 

 you a cent. 



Not that we are going to 

 give it to you, but that it 

 will pay for itself that first 

 year. 



Anything that pays for 

 itself doesn't cost you any- 

 thing. 



Which facts being so, order 

 your Skinner Equipment at 

 once.
