The Rorists' Review 



21 



That this firm looks forward to a 

 continuation of the large demand for 

 flowers is evident from the assertion of 

 Manager P. A. Manson that 45,000 car- 

 nations were benched July 10 and over 

 50,000 rose plants, principally Premier, 

 Dunlop, Butterfly, Crusader and John 

 Cook, are in fine shape and everything 

 points to one of the largest cuts of roses 

 ever placed on the Kansas City market. 



Eeproduced herewith is a photograph 

 of the officers of the Pinehurst Floral 

 Co., grouped at their round table, dis- 

 cussing, perhaps, the why and wherefore 

 of gluts, or maybe they are planning 

 another picnic for the city folks. The 

 firm, which was established May 1, 1914, 

 to succeed the Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co., has been steadily growing and is 

 now one of the foremost wholesale con- 

 cerns in the west. The officers are: 

 President, Tucker Smith; vice-president 

 and treasurer. Earl Parker; secretary, 

 Harry Blake, and general manager, P. 

 A. Manson.

The Market. 



Summer trade has been rather quiet, 

 but there have been a few busy days 

 when the forces of the various stores 

 were kept hustling. 



The crop of summer roses is getting 

 smaller each day and the flowers are 

 smaller and the stems shorter. Gladioli 

 are plentiful and are used a great deal. 

 Carnations are small and are used only 

 for funeral work. Sweet peas are in 

 their prime and tbe market is flooded 

 with them; conaeq^uently the price is 

 low. White sweet peas have been much 

 used for July weddings. Lilie? of the 

 valley can be had only in small quan- 

 tities. 



Various Notes.

 tions such as calendulas and bachelor's

0. H. A. CONVENTION. 



August 10 to 13, 1920. 



Well, Jane, I've Just decided that we'll go to 



the convention. 

 It'8 held in Hamilton this year, a place I'd 



like to see. 

 And they're working there like Trojans, Groves 



and others; tlieir Intention 

 Is to make ii pleasant outing for folks like you 



and me. 



It's a lovely little city, nestled right beside a 



mountain 

 On the one side, on the other circled by a 



splendid bay; 

 Just the spot to have the rare good time on 



which I'm countin'. 

 And when the week is ended we won't want to 



come away. 



They're coming from all over. From New York 



comes John and Max, 

 Mr. Brown from far Vancouver at the coast. 

 Paul will be there from Chicago, Fraser cornea 



from Halifax, 

 Every live man in the business you will find 



there at his post. 



So, Ma, get your work completed, be in readiness 



to start; 

 Put a feather in your bonnet — "poor the heart 



that ne'er rejoices" — 

 I'll get Dobbin extra fed up, clean the harness 



and the cart. 

 Must be all dolled up to meet 'em— those fat 



coves In their Rolls-Royces. 



For some coming have their millions — made it 



In the business, too. 

 Perhaps they'll tell us how they did It when 



we meet. 

 Then when we get home again, we'll try what we 



can do, 

 For to be a moneyed magnate must be very, 



very sweet. 



Billy Oammage says he's coming down from 



"London in the bush." 

 That's the city where car president keeps » 



store. 

 I've never met the latter, but they say he's 



full of push 

 And is boosting the old C. H. to the fore. 



So we'll bury all our troubles for a few short, 



happy hours. 

 And go and get real chummy with them all; 

 August 10 if nothing happens we wiU meet the 



men of flowers. 

 At "Hamilton the beautiful" in the Royal 



Connaugbt hall. 



He 3ethere.
