The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Januabt 7, 1909. 



KANSAS QTY. 



The Market. 



Christmas trade was the best that we 

 have had for anany years. Every florist 

 seems to be well pleased with the sales. 

 Plants sold well. There never has been 

 such sale on poinsettias as this year, and 

 by New Year's day there was hardly a 

 dozen of good ones left in the city. 

 Gloire de Lorraine sold well and the de- 

 mand was greater than the supply. Cy- 

 clamens sold well, but the supply was 

 short. Few primroses were offered, as 

 they were a little late. 



There was also a good demand for 

 roses, with the supply equal to the de- 

 mand. Eed roses were more plentiful 

 this year than in any previous year and 

 they sold well. Richmond roses took the 

 place of American Beauties in a good 

 many places. 



Carnations sold well. The supply was 

 equal to the demand. The high prices 

 kept the department stores from handling 

 any carnations and this gave the florists 

 a chance to do a good business. 



Holly was plentiful. The supply of 

 wild smilax was greater than the demand. 

 There is plenty to be had at this date, 

 out of cold storage, and it sold at $4.50 

 per 50-pound crate. Green roping was 

 well cleaned up. The supply was not so 

 great as last year. The demand is drop- 

 ping off every year and wild smilax is 

 taking its place. Mistletoe was plentiful 

 and there was more sold this year than 

 usual. Violets were rather scarce and sold 

 at $2 a bunch. Some fine ones were 

 shipped in from Chicago. Roman hya- 

 cinths were not so plentiful. Narcissi 

 were plentiful and sold well.

 a part of George R. Miller's store, at 410 

 Commercial avenue. 



Bradford, Pa. — F. E. Thompson cut 

 for Christmas some Rose-pink Enchant- 

 ress which measured four inches. His 

 other carnations, including Craig, Boun- 

 tiful, Victory, Light Pink Enchantress 

 and Queen Louise, are fine. He has a 

 nice crop of smilax ready to cut, some 

 fine Lilium longiflorum coming out, and 

 some roses that are doing splendidly.

What arc you looking for? 



Juet a greenhouse that "answers the purpose" or one that 

 more than answers it? Do you want a house that will 

 produce more blooms through December, January and Feb- 

 ruary than any other house constructed any other way? 

 Then buy a U-Bar. It is the lightest house built— and if it is 

 lightest, it is most productive. It is a house with every 

 possible decay point fully protected. 



The ideal construction for private estates, parks' 

 public institutions and'florists' showrooms.
