The Florists^ Review 



Mat 24, 1917. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



Business has been excellent during 

 the last week, wedding, social and 

 funeral work having been heavy. Bed- 

 ding plant sales are ahead of last year 

 and all think that they will be sold out 

 by Memorial day, in 'face of the fact 

 that there has been but one week warm 

 enough for planting out. 



Roses have been in oversupply, and 

 in consequence prices have dropped to 

 low levels. Fair roses can be bought 

 as low as $1.50 per hundred. While 

 the prices of the best stock hold up well, 

 the quality is not so good. Carnations, 

 sweet peas, lilies and other cut stock 

 are plentiful. Some peonies are arriv- 

 ing in the market. They are of good 

 quality. Outdoor perennial stock also 

 can now be obtained. 



Various Notes. 



Eric Frandsen is building three new 

 houses, 38x300, on his range east of 

 Independence, Mo. He will grow roses 

 exclusively. 



James Masson had the decorations 

 for the conventions of the Kansas 

 Bankers' Association and the Osteo- 

 paths at the Baltimore hotel. 



Samuel Murray had a busy week 

 with wedding and funeral work. 



W. J. Barnes planted Fairmount 

 park last week, using more than 2,500 

 plants in the beds, as well as thirty 

 hanging baskets of ferns. His green- 

 houses show that much spring bedding 

 business has been done. 



Adolph D. Mohr has his new bunga- 

 low about ready for occupancy. He 

 reports business better than ever before. 

 His houses look well, especially a fine 

 lot of young begonias. 



Arthur Newell reports business is 

 good and he expects a big Memorial day 

 trade. 



Charles Thomas has had a big run 

 of funeral and social work. 



James Payne has sold about all of 

 his bedding stock. 



T. J. Noll & Co. are handling a fine 

 lot of home-grown cut peonies. 



The W. L. Eock Flower Co. is now 

 cutting a large quantity of roses. Car- 

 nations are not so plentiful. Funeral 

 work has been heavy with this company 

 all the week. W. J. B. 



Positively 

 Practical 



Mr. Wesley C. Minor, of Brock- 

 ton, Mass., says: 



"This I believe is the only 

 practical rain machine on 

 the market.",

In Erection 



We Have Solved It. 



SEE that greenhouse truss framing above? That's the way 

 we shipped it from the factory. It is all bolted together 

 and fast to the rafter, ready to hoist up and drop right 

 into place between the ridge and column. 



For the assembling of the frame, we have a specially designed 

 portable trareling crane that yanks the frame up into position 

 in a jiffy. 



With our method of preparing material and erecting, it is 

 possible to put up the complete frame of one house a week, 61 

 feet or so wide and 500 long. 



Of course, no one can overcome delays caused by shortage 

 of materials or railroad hold-ups. But we can make up fori[a 

 lot of them by erection speed. 



You know we go anywhere for business. Or to talk business.
