The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Deckmbek 7, 1905. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



The past week has been a very busy 

 one for the florists of this city. There 

 have been a large number of decora- 

 tions and nearly all the dealers report an 

 unusually heavy trade in cut flowers for 

 this time of year. Thanksgiving day 

 brought lots of business and cleaned up 

 most of the stock. All kinds of cut 

 flowers are scai'ce and bringing much 

 higher prices than usual. It is the same 

 old story about carnations; supply short 

 and demand heavy. Any kind of a car- 

 nation sells for 4 cents wholesale, while 

 Enchantress, which is the favorite car- 

 nation here, easily brings 6 cents, with 

 not nearly enough to supply the demand. 

 The Kansas-Missouri football game 

 Thanksgiving day made a big demand 

 for mums and practically all the good 

 ones were sold out. 



Various Notes. 



• W. J. Barnes put up the decorations 

 for the Neale-Smith wedding last week. 

 This is probably the largest decoration 

 put up here this season and Mr. Barnes 

 is to be congratulated on the able man- 

 ner in which he handled it. The recep- 

 tion hall was decorated in American 

 Beauties and Piersoni ferns, with a man- 

 tel decoration of red mums and ferns. 

 The parlor, dining room and library 

 were elaborately decorated with palms, 

 ferns and mums. A particularly effective 

 and artistic piece of work was the large 

 staircase, which was decorated with As- 

 paragus plumosus and white bells. Mr. 

 Barnes used over seven loads of palms 

 and ferns, besides the cut flowers. Proba- 

 bly one of the most attractive things 

 about it to W. J. was the cheek he re- 

 ceived, which we understand was large 

 enough to pay several months' coal bills. 



W. L. Eock's show window is always 

 one of the sights on Walnut street and 

 is particularly attractive this week. 



Miss Jennie Murray reports an un- 

 usually heavy Thanksgiving business. 



Theodore Kalma is sending in some 

 fine valley. 



James Hayes, of Topeka, Kan., was a 

 recent visitor. Kay-See.

 ing Dictionary on receipt of 25 cents.
