The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Mabch 19, 1008. 



KANSAS QTY. 



The Market 



Carnations are plentiful. The supply 

 is greater than the demand and prices 

 have gone to pieces. The choicest can 

 be bought at $20 per thousand. Tea 

 roses also are plentiful, American Beau- 

 ties not quite so much so. Sweet peas 

 are equal to the demand. Bulb stock 

 is a glut. Daflfodils and jonquils are 

 selling as low as $1.50 per hundred. Vio- 

 lets are plentiful and some of the cut 

 flower stores advertise the best singles 

 at 8 cents a bunch. The weather is 

 exceedingly warm for this season of the 

 year and everything is coming into 

 bloom. There is a great fear now that 

 carnations will be off crop by Easter. 

 Easter lilies are on time and at present 

 there seems to be very few diseased 

 plants. Tulips are up from two to three 

 inches above the ground on the lawns 

 in the city. Bulb stock will be hard 

 to hold for Easter, as it is advancing 

 fast. Azaleas are coming in fast and 

 meet with ready sales. 



The fine weather is creating a feverish 

 desire in the minds of the people to 

 plant out geraniums and other bedding 

 plants. Quite a few geraniums are be- 

 ing sold every day; also flower seeds, 

 especially sweet pea and nasturtium 

 seed. People are becoming more awaken- 

 ed to the idea of planting their back 

 yards in flowers and vegetables and 

 thus beautifying our city. 



Varioui Notes. 



George M. Kellogg is shipping in some 

 fine carnations. 



C. C. Maynard expects a rushing busi- 

 ness this spring. He recently took over 

 $800 worth of orders for shrubbery in 

 three days. Mr. Maynard has no green- 

 houses, but does a great deal of bedding 

 out. 



One of the prettiest weddings of the 

 winter was put up by W. H. Humfeld, 

 at the Baltimore hotel, March 12, when 

 Miss Minnie Kyder and Mr. Barth were 

 united in marriage. There were about 

 a thousand daffodils and narcissi used in 

 the dining-room. The large centerpiece, 

 diamond in shape, was over eleven feet 

 long by five and a half feet wide. White 

 roses and palms in profusion were used 

 in the front parlor. 



Thomas Keeshan, stockholder in the 

 Junction City Floral Co., of Junction 

 City, Kan., was visiting the florists here 

 last week. They have 19,000 feet of 

 glass devoted to the raising of cut flow- 

 ers exclusively, growing fine carnations 

 and roses for the high class trade. They 

 shipped some fine cut flowers to the 

 surrounding towns this winter and Mr. 

 Keeshan was much pleased with their 

 last winter's business. W. H. H.
