The Florists' Review 



Mat 13, 1916. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Mothers' day business was the best 

 this city has ever had. It increased 

 far beyond expectations. Everything 

 was spld out by noon on Sunday. Pot 

 plants and basket work of all kinds 

 sold well. It has become almost as 

 good a day as any of the others, but 

 it is unfortunate that the price of car- 

 nations goes so high. Good roses were 

 cheaper than good carnations and the 

 retailer talked roses or small pot plants 

 and they sold just as briskly. The 

 passing of the heavy supply of stock 

 has resulted in prices stiffening a lit- 

 tle, except on roses, which stayed nor- 

 mal eyen on Mothers' day. The sup- 

 ply and demand are more nearly equal 

 than they have been for some time. 

 Lilies and snapdragons are bringing a 

 fair price. The outdoor stock is look- 

 ing promising for the near future. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Murray had a fine display 

 of gloxi9ias, which sold readily for 

 Mothers' day. 



The W. L. Eock Flower Co. cut 30,- 

 000 carnations from its greenhouses 

 last week. 



Arthur Newell says he sold as many 

 roses as carnations last week, as he 

 did not try to make a. big profit on 

 roses. 



Miss Edith Roberts, formerly with 

 the Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co., is with the Costello-Moore Floral 

 Co. permanently. 



The Peterson Floral Co. reports a 

 heavy run on corsage bouquets for 

 Mothers' day, especially those made of 

 carnations. 



A. F. Barbe, opposite the main en- 

 trance to Elmwood cemetery, noticed 

 a large increase in the decorating of 

 graves for Mothers ' day. W, J. B.
