MRS. G. W. WARD 



AS A BREAD-AND-BUTTER VARIETY 



What Mr. Fritz Bahr, the famous writer of "The Week's Work," in the Florists' Exchange of January 9, 1915, 

 says about this variety: 



" With a good many of the retail growers, throughout 

 the middle west in particular, the great merits of Carna- 

 tion Mrs. C. W. Ward have just been recognized and 

 appreciated. It is one of the best of its color that we 



We have 40,000 cutting^s of this variety ready 



have today. Every retail grower should provide room 

 for at least a few, and fairly well grown stock will sell 

 at a higher price than any other of the standard sorts 

 on a glutted market." 



$2.60 per 100; $80.00 per 1000 



For other varieties see Classified list in this paper. All stock guaranteed.

KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Busiuess this week was not up to 

 that of the week before, owing to the 

 cold snap we have had. Cut flowers 

 were scarce all the week. This was 

 not caused so much by the demand as 

 by the general shortage of stock. Boses 

 are advancing in price. Beauties and 

 other red roses were away short of the 

 demand and the quality was poor. The 

 new varieties cannot be had at all. 

 There were not enough pink roses to fill 

 orders. The whites were least in de- 

 mand, but even they were all cleaned 

 up at good prices. Carnations from the 

 home growers have not been so plenti- 

 ful, owing to the cloudy weather, and 

 prices have advanced slightly. Tulips 

 and other bulbous stock are more plen- 

 tiful, with the exception of lilies. Sweet 

 peas, violets and freesias are more 

 plentiful and of good quality. The 

 prices on these remain about the same. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club met Monday, Jan- 

 uary 18, for the annual election of offi- 

 cers. The meeting was held at the 

 Coates House, with a large attendance. 

 The following officers were chosen: 

 President, Glen H. Parker; vice-presi- 

 dent, Edward Harvey; secretary and 

 treasurer, A. C. Wilson; trustee, Mr. 

 Chandler. The club has been having 

 a number of talks on different interest- 

 ing subjects and all members should 

 turn out, in appreciation of the efforts 

 of the officers. 



A baby girl arrived January 21 at 

 the home of W. J. Barnes, Jr., and 

 everybody is getting along well. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. had an 

 attractive window of lilac and bougain- 

 villeas. This firm reports a good busi- 

 ness in funeral work for last week. 



T. J. Noll & Co. report a good out-of- 

 town trade for the week, which made 

 up for a decrease in local business. 



W. J. Barnes has a house of fine 

 Easter lilies and a nice lot of pot 

 plants for St. Valentine's day. 



William Foith is sending in a nice 

 lot of carnations and roses and has no 

 trouble in selling them. 



The nurserymen of this city are mak- 

 ing big preparations for spring business 

 and some report that orders are now 

 ahead of those of last spring. 



Business acrosir the state line has 

 been only normal. Funeral work is the 

 heaviest part of the business.

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.

 establishment three of the big houses 

 are completed and steam will be turned 

 on within a few days. While the turn 

 in the general business situation affected 

 the plans Mr. Davis had made, he is 

 figuring on the erection of a fourth 

 house in the spring.
