The Florists' Review 



JoNB 21, 1917. 



KAN SAS CITY , MO. 



The Market. 



There was a superabundance of stock 

 in the market last week. Roses and 

 carnations were extremely plentiful and 

 sold at the lowest prices of the year. 

 Easter lilies were numerous and cheap. 

 Peonies still are in the market in large 

 quantities. Only the best are sent to 

 the wholesalers, as tliey cannot get the 

 express charges out of the inferior qual- 

 ities. Taney gladioli were in the mar- 

 ket and sold at good prices. Sweet peas 

 still are of fair quality, but the demand 

 has been rather light. Gypsophila, 

 daisies and other outdoor flowers are 

 coming in good shape and sell well. 

 Greens of all kinds still are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



The greenhouse range at the Phil P. 

 Toll farm has been increased consider- 

 ably under the management of John 

 Klauss. The houses all were built by 

 Lord & Burnham Co. There are two old 

 houses, 25x150, filled with carnations 

 and chrysanthemums and two new 

 houses, 35x201, with Ophelia, White Kil- 

 larney and Russell roses. Another, 10 1/4 

 x201, houses chrysanthemums. The 

 houses are of the latest type, with ce- 

 ment walks. There are two reservoirs, 

 one holding 37,000 gallons for water and 

 the other 7,000 gallons for liquid ferti- 

 lizer. It is the intention of the owner 

 to further increase this establishment. 



E. G. Bunyar, of Independence, has 

 cleared liis greenhouses of bedding 

 plants, having sold more than 200,000 

 of all kinds. The sales netted him $2,- 

 000 more this year than last and he has 

 invested the profits in Liberty bonds. 

 He has liis houses planted for fall trade 

 and is now on a fishing trip. 



Tom Kane has returned from Ver- 

 mont, where he spent three weeks plant- 

 ing evergreens and pines on a large pri- 

 vate estate. He and Mrs. Kane left 

 June'17 to spend several days on a farm 

 near Pleasant Hill. 



John Stevens has been sending in 

 gladioli of extra fine quality, the stems 

 of some l)eing four and five feet long. 

 T. J. Xoll & Co. have been clean- 

 ing liouse at their store and taking an 

 inventory at the same time. 



Henry Kusik & Co. have received a 

 carload of moss. Mr. Kusik reports that 

 business in this line has doubled this 

 year. 



The George 'SI. Kellogg Flower & 

 Plant Co. has been busy with funeral 

 work both in and out of town. Mr. Kidd 

 is now on liis vacation. He will return 

 June 25. 



Arthur Xowell turned out a large de- 

 sign for the Bernhoimer funeral last 

 week. It was a wreath forty inches in 

 diameter, cascade style, on a tall stand. 

 He is now making a window display of 

 baskets filled with summer flowers. 



Samuel ^^lurray has returned from an 

 eastern trip. He found liis store excep- 

 tionally busv for this time of the year.
