The Florists' Review 



I 



NOTBMBEB 6, 1913. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. ' 



The market was brisk enough last 

 ■week to enable the wholesalers to clean 

 up everything that was in bloom. Hal- 

 lowe'en had little effect, though it 

 helped to dispose of some yellow mums 

 and there were a few decorations for 

 tables. Carnations are so scarce that 

 it is almost impossible to get enough 

 to fill orders. Killarney roses are in 

 good supply, while the demand seems 

 to keep them cleaned up. The best 

 grades go the fastest. Beauties did 

 not do so well last week; competition 

 with the big mums seemed to affect 

 them. The demand for violets was 

 stronger than it has been for some 

 time. The call for chrysanthemums 

 was good; the market seems to use all 

 of them that can be cut, and the price 

 seems to be a great deal better than 

 last year. The sorts that sell best are 

 those that can be had for $3 a dozen, 

 retail. 



Various Notes. 



A Florists' Club is to be organized 

 November 7, at T. Noll's, 1109 Grand 

 avenue. All florists in this vicinity 

 were requested to be present and over 

 twenty-five have promised to be there 

 to start things going. 



Samuel Murray reports that busi- 

 ness has been good. The sale of or- 

 chids so far this year is away ahead 

 of any preceding year. Last week he 

 made up an especially handsome cen- 

 terpiece of 125 orchids, with yellow 

 sprays of oncidiums. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co. has commenced to cut a fine lot 

 of roses and carnations since the cool 

 weather arrived, and is also ready to 

 start cutting the mum crop. This 

 firm's plant trade has been heavier 

 this year than ever before. 



Nelson Jarrett has taken out two of 

 the hot water boilers at his green- 

 houses and has installed a large one 

 which will heat the whole range. 



The flower department of the Balti- 

 more Drug Co. has been moved around 

 the corner to 117 East Eleventh street. 

 E. H. Frandsen & Co. have finished 

 repairing the greenhouses that were 

 damaged by fire last spring. Their 

 stock is in good shape; the roses are 

 better than they ever before have had 

 them. 



T. Noll is receiving some exception- 

 ally fine stock. Most of the stock tha't 

 is consigned to him is grown in this 

 vicinity. The call for florists' sup- 

 plies has been heavier than he ex- 

 pected. 



J. Austin has returned from Excel- 

 sior Springs. He is feeling mu«h bet- 

 ter and is able to look after business 

 in the greenhouses again. 



Henry Kusik & Co. have recently 

 doubled the amount of their shipments 

 of roses, carnations and mums, and 

 the roses are the best they have had 

 since they have been in business here. 



W. J. B. 



Huntsville, Ala. — A. Manson, mana- 

 ger of the Abbingdon Floral Co., has 

 the sympathy of the trade in the loss 

 of his wife October 19. 



Charleston, S. C. — Chas. M. Newman

 While abroad he visitecl .MYQtal other

 tour greatly.
