KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



Business for the week was all that 

 could be desired. The wholesale houses 

 report business only normal as far as 

 daily sales are concerned, but Christ- 

 mas orders have been pouring in, for 

 supplies, cut flowers and plants. The re- 

 tailers are not receiving advance or- 

 ders as they did last year in the week 

 preceding Christmas, although every 

 flower store in the city has increased 

 its supplies for the holiday trade. The 

 retailers are not going to be caught 

 napping when it comes to getting in 

 on the Christmas business. Last year 

 some of them had what they considered 

 a sufficient supply of fancy baskets and 

 pot plants to meet the demand, but 

 ran short, leaving disappointed cus- 

 tomers with the impression that the 

 florist is not to be relied upon at the 

 last moment. This year, from all re- 

 ports, there is a larger supply of pot 

 plants. These can be used later in 

 decorations. 



Everyone seems to be interested in 

 the cut flower market, as there has 

 been so much cloudy, dark weather and 

 the end of it is not in sight at present. 

 Carnations are blooming slowly. There 

 are plenty of narcissi, violets, valley, 

 Btevia and Easter lilies, which help to 

 flu up the cut flower market and meet 

 the demand. Beauties are scarce and 

 higher in price. It is expected there 

 will be a shortage of this rose, while 

 other roses are plentiful. 



Pot plants are plentiful and good, as 

 all the growers have increased along 

 this line, especially in poinsettias, be- 

 gonias and fancy basket plants. The 

 retailers have been encouraging the 

 growing of more pot plants. A good 

 many growers are complaining about 

 their azaleas being poorly flowered. 



Various Notes. 



The Alpha Floral Co. has added to its 

 force James A. Biggam, a well known 

 decorator, and Claude Huckleberry, a 

 grower, to look after the greenhouse 

 containing the decorative plants. 



The Peterson Floral Co. has ended 

 the fall shrubbery and tree planting 

 work and, as a whole, is well satisfied 

 with business for the year 1914. 



Miss L. E. Boggess reports a good 

 business for the last two weeks, espe-< 

 cially in out-of-town funeral work. 



E. H. Frandsen & Co. have sold out 

 entirely on pot plants. They had a fine 

 lot of poinsettias and other plants. 

 Their roses are in excellent shape, car- 

 nations are good and Mr. Frandsen is 

 well pleased with business, considering 

 the conditions.

MATCHLESS A GREAT SUCCESS 



MATCHLESS is the best and most profitable white carnation to grow, 

 having no equal in earliness, vigor of growth and production. It is superior 

 in size, fragrance and keeping qualities, and is non-bursting. It is a continuous 

 bloomer and is handled with ease by any grower.
