The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Januabt 16, 1908. 



KANSAS QTY. 



The Market 



Trade has kept up remarkably well 

 since the holidays. Everything has been 

 going on at a lively rate. There has 

 also been a great deal of funeral work 

 the last ten days. 



American Beauties are more plentiful, 

 the supply being equal to the demand, 

 and prices are more reasonable. Azaleas 

 are plentiful and move slowly at half 

 the former price. Carnations have not 

 been very plentiful, and good prices 

 were obtained up to January 11, when 

 large advertisements appeared in the 

 papers, from two department stores, of- 

 fering carnations at 2 cents, or 24 cents 

 a dozen. Such advertisements by these 

 department stores are a ruination to the 

 market. When home growers ought to 

 get a return for their hard labor, these 

 stores spoil the profits and it is only 

 done as an advertisement to get the peo- 

 ple into the store. These carnations are 

 shipped in from Chicago. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Lamb, manager of Geo. M. Kel- 

 logg 's wholesale store, reports business 

 as being very good. They are receiving 

 large shipments from Pleasant Hill 

 greenhouses,, of violets, American Beau- 

 ties, fBrides and Bridesmaids, and the 

 demand is good for them. They also 

 sold a large lot of cyclamen, of which 

 they had a fine display in their large 

 window. 



Geo. M. Kellogg, who has been sick, 

 is now able to be about his business 

 again. 



James Payne, on Twenty-eighth and 

 Main streets, is the owner of a freak 

 calla. There are two perfect blooms on 

 one stem. Mr. Payne says he has been 

 in business for forty years, but never 

 saw the like before. He is so proud of 

 it that he will not sell it at any price. 

 Mr. Payne is a good grower and, judging 

 from the way he is starting out the first 

 of the year, he will do double the busi- 

 ness this year. We wish him success. 



W. H, Humfeld is in very poor health. 

 He has not been able to attend to any 

 business since January 1. He talks of 

 selling out and retiring from the florists ' 

 business. 



K, Von Bourgondien, of Hillegom, Hol- 

 land, was a visitor last week. 



W. H. H. 



London, Ont. — E. Whiting is erecting 

 three greenhouses 30x50 at Smith and 

 Trafalgar streets. 



We find the Eeview a great help in 

 both our flower and vegetable depart- 

 ments. — S. H. Mabis, McMinnville, Ore.
