The Florists^ Review 



September 2, 1915. 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



Business is good, while the supply is 

 still short, especially of quality stock, 

 aa the result of so much rain and hail, 

 which is also a handicap to those who 

 are building and remodeling. Work is 

 going on so slowly it will cause some 

 delay in planting. Asters are improv- 

 ing in stem and flower. Lilies are of 

 good quality and are plentiful. Eoses 

 are of exceptionally fine quality. 

 American Beauties are more in demand 

 than in any previous summer. 



Various Notes. 



Business at Arthur Newell 's is hold- 

 ing up well and the demand for funeral 

 designs is especially heavy this sum- 

 mer. Miss Mamie Klein, of this estab- 

 lishment, has returned after a trip of 

 five weeks to the Pacific coast, where 

 she visited the Panama-Pacific and San 

 Diego expositions. She called on the 

 trade in several of the coast cities and 

 returned home well pleased with her 

 trip. 



Joseph Austin was one of the vic- 

 tims of the recent hail storm. His loss 

 in glass amounted to-al)out 2,500 square 

 :feet, besides the loss of a fine lot of 

 begonias and other plants. The storm 

 seemed to hit him harder than any- 

 one else. W. J. Barnes was hit and lost 

 a few hundred feet of glass with lit- 

 tle damage to the plants inside, but it 

 ruined all of the pot stock plunged 

 outside, especially the pot chrysanthe- 

 mums. Adolph Mohr lost about 600 

 lights of glass at both pla<jes. A few 

 Lorraine begonias were (t&itnaged. 



Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Welch, of Bos- 

 toli, and MJr, and Mrs. A. Lange, of 

 Chicago, werff" guests of Samuel Mur- 

 ray one day last week. Miss Hay den 

 is again at her post in Mr. Murray's 

 store after an enjoyable trip north. 



G. K. Parker, manager of the Geo. 

 M. Kellogg Flower & Plant Co., says 

 that business at the store has been 

 good through August and he is well 

 pleased with the way the books look. 



Mr. Gray has the greenhouses on the 

 W. A. Euhl farm, which will be de- 

 voted to carnations, sweet peas and 

 vegetables. This place is all steel and 

 comprises about 60,000 square feet of 

 glass. Until recently it was under the 

 management of Mr. Pratt. W. J. B.
