Tlie Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mabch 16, 1905. 



KANSAS QTY. 



Thelflarket. 



A continuance of bright weather la 

 causing stock to come in lively. Beau- 

 ties are of very poor quality but Bride, 

 Chatenay, Gate and Maid are good. Me- 

 teor and Perle are fair. Carnations are 

 better than for some time. Enchantress. 

 Lady Bountiful and Lawson are very fine 

 and prices are stiff. Mignonette, helio- 

 trope and sweet peas are coming in lar- 

 ger quantities and are selling well. The 

 demand for violets is healthy and . prices 

 good. The quantity of bulbous stock is 

 increasing and the lateness of Easter 

 will be the means of bringing in very 

 nearly all the stock held by local growers 

 and Easter week will find the largest 

 growers without any stock worth speak- 

 ing of. Azaleas will be in the same con- 

 dition. Advance orders are being placed 

 by local growers, with outside growers 

 for stock sufficient to fill local orders. 

 Some fine tulips, narcissi, daffodils, Ro- 

 man and Dutch hyacinths and jonquils 

 are seen. Prices are holding up steadily 

 and demand is good in spite of the Len- 

 ten season. Pot plants in endless va- 

 riety are selling well and the opinion of 

 the older florists is that the amount of 

 business done up to date is in excess of 

 any time during the past eighteen years. 



Various Notes. 



Your correspondent visited the estab- 

 lishment of E. A. Humfeld and it was 

 well worth the time taken. Mr. Hum- 

 feld has about 12,000 feet of glass and 

 every foot of it in use. Three houses 

 are in carnations in fine shape and the 

 rest is devoted to bedding stock and 

 palms. Although only established three 

 years in the present location, the busi- 

 ness has increased wonderfully. Alex. 

 Kerr has charge of the greenhouses. 



Tha Kansas City Floral Co. has pur- 

 chased the establishment of John Schnei- 

 der, 821 Walnut street, and is refitting 

 it in first-class style. Mr. Schaeffer, the 

 president of the company, is sparing no 

 expense to make it one of the finest 

 stores in the city. 



B. S. Brown & Son, of Prospect ave- 

 nue, are swamped with orders these days. 

 A visit to that establisnment found Mr. 

 Bridgeland, the efficient foreman, push- 

 ing things along at a lively rate to keep 

 up with their large trade. The Messrs. 

 Brown do an almost exclusive catalogue 

 trade. 



Mr. Heite has some very fine seedling 

 carnations. He has been experimenting 

 along that line for some years and ex- 

 pects to put on the market a white and 

 a pink that will have a commercial value. 



Some of the finest roses on the market 

 at present are those of Al. Broman, of 

 Independence, which are handled ex- 

 clusively by Miss Dalley. 



Sa muel Murray i s sh owing s ome very 



fine stock. Mr. Murray reports business 

 as first-class and predicts an unusually 

 brisk trade this spring, 



A. F. Barbe, of Elmwood, was amon^ 

 the retailers last week and reports busi- 

 ness as first-class. Narcissus. 



Milwaukee, Wis.— Wm. Edlefsen 

 says business has been good right along, 

 with plenty of funeral work, 



Colorado Springs, Colo. — Wm. Henry 

 Evans is going ahead with his plans for 

 the erection of a good sized range of 

 greenhouses for cut flowers for whole- 

 sale. He already has the material on 

 the ground for six houses.

SMALL FERNS. 



The retail florists who have a trade in 

 fern dishes, report a scarcity of small 

 ferns and other material for filling these 

 receptacles. In the central west it is 

 said that this stock is very hard to find 

 and that large quantities of Asparagus 

 plumosns in from 2-inch to 3-inch pots 

 are being used to make up the deficiency. 



Summit, N, J. — John N. May is still 

 in the south, but enjoying somewhat im- 

 proved health.
