The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Mat 25, 1905. 



KANSAS CXTY. 



The Market 



Very little can be said as to the con- 

 dition of the market here, as bedding 

 plant trade has taken the place of cut 

 flowers to a great extent 3ome of the 

 stores have done a large business, while 

 some report business as light. 



Cemetery plants are in demand and 

 move briskly, and some of the houses 

 look bare. A visit among the growers 

 shows business as very good, and all 

 with whom I have talked are well satis- 

 fied with the season's work. 



Most of the stores are stocking up pre- 

 paratory to the Memorial day trade. The 

 month of June promises to be a very 

 busy one, as there are an unusual num- 

 ber of weddings to be decorated for. 



Various Notes. 



W. L. Rock's place on Walnut street 

 is very attractive and his force seems to 

 be always busy. 



S. Murray, with an increased business, 

 finds time to look after his part in the 

 flower show and is doing all he can to 

 make it a success. 



W. J. Barnes' houses look as though 

 something had happened. A few weeks 

 ago they were full to overflowing and 

 now they arc almost empty. 



A. F. Barbe has his hands full these 

 days, with remodeling his home and fill- 

 ing his orders. 



Lawrence Schwager is doing quite a 

 business at his Grand avenue store. 



Geo. Kellogg, of Pleasant Hill, is do- 

 ing an immense business these days in 

 the wholesale line. 



Miss J. Murray reports business as 

 very satisfactory, and is putting in a 

 large stock to take care of her Memorial 

 day business. 



Harvey Ploral Co. had an opening re- 

 ception last Saturday and did quite a 

 business. Mrs. Harvey is sanguine of 

 developing a large trade. 



The Alpha Floral Co. has installed a 

 new refrigerator in the window, making 

 it easier to handle stock. Narcissus. 



YORKVILLE, N. Y.— Geo. H. Benedict is 

 doing a big business in lawn and ceme- 

 tery vases. He has a handsome new 

 wagon on the road. 



Detroit.— The Morehead Mfg. Co. has 

 taken over the business formerly con- 

 ducted by John Morehead. The increased 

 demand for the Morehead st^fim-trap, 

 which is now so largely used in green- 

 houses, made additional facilities neces- 

 sary. Mr. Morehead continues as vice- 

 president and manager of the new corpo- 

 ration.
