The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Sbptbmbbr 7, 1905. 



KANSAS QTY. 



The Market 



The condition of trade is becoming 

 brighter. As the weather continues to 

 keep cool and the society folks are com- 

 ing back, social events are more numer- 

 ous, giving quite a large amount of work 

 for the decorators. 



As for stock, roses are in better shape 

 and there is commencing to be a good, 

 healthy demand. Beauties are very 

 scarce, the demand exceeding the sup- 

 ply. Carnations are hard to get. Some 

 short-stemmed stock is seen, but the de- 

 mand is light. Some very fine asters 

 are on the market, with prices a shade 

 better than formerly. There has been a 

 large quantity of funeral work the past 

 week and everything was pretty gener- 

 ally cleaned up and the promises for 

 future business are very satisfactory. 



Various Notes. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg cup, given by 

 that gentleman as a trophy to be pre- 

 sented to the florist making the highest 

 score in a bowling contest during the 

 week of the flower show, has been com- 

 pleted, and is on exhibition at Mr. Kel- 

 logg 's store. It is a fine piece of work. 



Miss M. Dalley reports business as 

 being very good the past week. 



Ed Tonquist has become an enthusi- 

 astic bowler and is having dreams of 

 gathering in that silver cup. 



The Owl Florists, who have not yet 

 been quite a month at their new loca- 

 tion, report business as increasing to a 

 very satisfactory extent. They are 

 stocking up with some very good ma- 

 terial and are looking forward to a busy 

 season. 



E. A. Humfeld is making quite an 

 improvement in his store by putting in 

 a new front. 



The Alpha Floral Co. reports business 

 during the warm weather as all that 

 could be expected. They look forward to 

 an increase in their business during the 

 coming season, having added decorating 

 to their facilities. 



J. B. Stone, of Emporia, Kan., was a 

 visitor in the city the past week.

ABINDANCE 



The Most Wonderfully Prolific 

 Carnation Ever in Existence. 



H^ 



i]T hasn't any priies, certiflcatea 

 of merit medals or anytblnr of 

 tbat aort to recommend it; but 

 it h*8 nine yeara of wonderfully pro- 

 lific life to ita credit, wbicb tbe cer- 

 tificated, be-medaled yarletiea bave 

 not wben first oiTered to tbe trade. I 

 bave grown it excluaively erer aince 

 I Kot stock enouKb to fill my taouaea 

 witb, and intend to grow no otber 

 variety wbile Abundance paya me ao 

 . well. It is as strong, taealtby and pro- 

 lific today, as in tbe first yeara of ita 

 life. Tbe color is a pure white, Tery 

 fragrant, of medium size, 2% incbea 

 in early fall and winter, reaching S 



iocbes in late winter and apring, 

 with a stem 14 inches in fall, stretch- 

 ing to 23^ and 8 feet in winter and 

 spring. It has the slim, wiry growth 

 of Lizzy McGowan ol which it is a 

 seedling crossed by Wm. Scott, but 

 it surpasses its parents by far in 

 blooming quality, in fact there isn't 

 anything with which to compare in 

 that respect It is an exceedingly 

 free, rapid and healthy grower. Has 

 never been subject to stem rot or any 

 otber disease, can be transplanted 

 at any time or in any way without tbe 

 care and the fuss which have to be 

 bestowed on the heavy, sappy varie- 

 ties, as it takes hold of the new situa- 

 tion at once and never turns a leaf 

 yellow. Is an absolute non-cropper; 

 but is literally loaded with shoots in 

 all stages of development, from the time they are benched until thrown out in summer. It 

 is not an untried variety that is barely brought into existance until it is put on the market 

 only to disappear in a year or two; but it is one by which I have earned my living for years 

 and is likely to do for some yeara to come, it is a carnation for the bread-winner and not 

 for the fancier. 



Price, flO.OO per lOO; 975.00 per lOOO. Cash with order, please. 



Cuttings delivered in strict rotation as soon as rooted, and nothing but first-class stock 

 sent out as I have an abundance of stock to produce from.
