The Florists' Review 



July 39, 1914. 



KANSAS OITT, MO. 



The Market. 



With plenty of stock on the market, 

 the retail florists cannot complajo. 

 Most of the retailers report the number 

 of sales as exceeding last year's rec- 

 ord, but for the last two weeks busi- 

 ness has been below the standard of 

 last year, which means more work and 

 less money received on each sale. The 

 wholesalers report stock moving well 

 and that business is all they could ex- 

 pect. Carnations seem to hold a fair 

 price and are of excellent quality. 

 These carnations are received from 

 Colorado. Roses are plentiful, but 

 prices range much lower than last ye^r. 

 Quality is excellent. Asters are plen- 

 tiful. Gladioli are abundant and prices 

 on these have dropped considerably, al- 

 though good stock still realizes fair 

 prices and sells readily. Some of the 

 stock received shows the effects of the 

 dry weather. Gypsophila is not com- 

 ing into the market as fast as it did 

 at first. Green stock is plentiful and 

 arrives in good shape. 



Various Notes. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Club was held July 20 at the 

 store of H. Kusik & Co. Discussions 

 on summer business and other interest- 

 ing topics were held. The next meet- 

 ing will take place August 3 at the 

 store of the George M. Kellogg Flower 

 & Plant Co. Every florist in the city 

 should attend the meetings, as some 

 good ideas and suggestions can be gath- 

 ered. 



Mr. Kane, of the Peterson Floral Co., 

 has been under a specialist's care for 

 some weeks as the result of getting a 

 bug in his. eye, and it is feared it will 

 not be possible to save the eye. 



William Foith met with an accident 

 two years aga while placing a boiler 

 m his greenhouse. The boiler rolled 

 oyer, catching him and dislocating his 

 hip. The injury seemed hardly notice- 

 able at the time, but it became worse. 

 After he had been treated for tubercu- 

 losis of the hip, it still gave him quite 

 a bit of trouble, and he now is in the 

 hospital, with the dislocated hip in a 

 plaster cast. He expects to be able to 

 be around in three or four weeks. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. is cut-' 

 ting some good roses. At the store 

 there has been plenty of funeral work 

 to keep them busy. Fred Fromhold 

 and Hugo Neff are on a three weeks' 

 vacation trip. Charles Heite and Mil- 

 ler Carter spent three weeks in the 

 Ozarks, fishing. w. J. B.
