The Florists' Review 



JUNB 16, 1921 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



So far June has been an active month. 

 School commencements liave made a 

 good part of the early work. Funeral 

 orders have been numerous and the gen- 

 eral run of business has been above the 

 average for the month. Many weddings 

 are scheduled, some of tl»em elaborate 

 in decorations. Stock has been bene- 

 fited by the rain that fell nearly every 

 day through the week. The ground was 

 quite dry and outdoor stock was begin- 

 ning to look discouraging. The showers 

 have helped a great deal. The cool week 

 before helped roses materially. Tliose 

 that have been cut lately are much bet- 

 ter than the one« handled around Me- 

 morial day. Not a great variety is 

 offered in the market. Rose.s, carna- 

 tions, gladioli and a few peonies com- 

 plete the list. Individual growers have 

 the usual seaaonable flowers, such as 

 larkspur, cornflowers, daisies, gaillar- 

 dias, delphiniums, coreopsis and bud- 

 dleias, all of which are used as cut 

 from day to day. Easter lilies hold out 

 well and are fine for shipping. Prices 

 are fair for the season; roses, $4 to $12 

 per hundred; carnations, $2.50 and $3 

 per hundred; peonies, $4 and $5 per 

 hundred, and gladioli, $10 and $12. 



Various Notes. 



Ray Blessing, of the T. J. Noll Floral 

 Co., is still unable to leave his home. 

 His foot, in which blood poisoning de- 

 veloped, is beginning to heal. 



Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Johnson, of Or- 

 rick, Mo., are visiting their granddaugh- 

 ter, Mrs. J. R. McGrail, and Mr. Mc- 

 Grail. 



Arthur Newell finislied a big week 

 with a lot of funeral orders that called 

 for overtime work Saturday, June 11, 

 and he has a good list of orders booked 

 for this week. 



H. H. Sappington will move his Marl- 

 borough Studios to Twelfth and Wyan- 

 dotte streets September 1, in order to 

 secure more room. The present loca- 

 tion on Tenth street is too small for the 

 business that has grown since the open- 

 ing of the studios last fall. In the new 

 place there will be a retail and whole- 

 sale store and factory. Imported goods 

 will be bought direct. Contracts have 

 been secured for the American Legion 

 convention in October. This will be the 

 largest convention ever held in the city 

 and one of the largest ever held in the 

 country. 



Among many otlier things last week, 

 the Apollo Flower Shop made 225 old- 

 fashioned bouquets of Russell roses and 

 gypsophila, in pa])ev holders, for the 

 graduating class of Central high school; 

 twenty-five shower bouquets of Ojihelia 

 roses and sweet i)eas for St. Vincent 's 

 academy, and twenty bouquets of But- 

 terfly roses and gyjtsophila for the 

 Cathedral school. 



J. M. McKeown. representing A. L. 

 Randall Co., Chicago, will make Kansas 

 City his headquarters and will travel 

 through this territory. 



A new boulevard, sixty feet wide, is 

 being built on the west side of the pro])- 

 ortj' of the Chandler Landscape & 

 Floral Co. This completely surrounds 

 the greenhouses and store with boule- 

 vards and makes the location more 

 prominent and valuable than ever. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. supplied 

 all the decorations fpr the convention 

 of the National Association of Shoe 

 Finders June 13 to 15.
