The Florists^ Review 



October 15, 1914. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Miarket. 



Market conditions are variable, and 

 it is hard to figure how much stock is 

 needed to supply the varying demands. 

 Business is increasing considerably. 

 Every florist who decorates has an 

 abundance of wedding orders. Busi- 

 ness, it is thought, would be better if 

 a frost would kill off the outdoor stock. 

 The better grades of chrysanthemums 

 are scarce, with an increasing demand. 

 Golden Glow and Smith's Advance 

 have all been cut and the midseason 

 varieties are somewhat slow. Beauties 

 of excellent quality are still plentiful. 

 Roses are abundant; white varieties 

 are scarce, but pink is in large supply. 

 Carnations are coming in more abun- 

 dantly and the stock is of extra good 

 quality. 



Various Notes. 



The Kansas side of the state line was 

 subjected to an aerial bombardment of 

 ice October 8. The hailstones, meas- 

 uring in some instances an inch in 

 diameter, did considerable damage to 

 plate-glass windows and several florists 

 suffered small losses. -The greenhouse 

 of J. B. Masson, 627 Troup avenue, was 

 completely wrecked; 5,000 feet of glass 

 was broken and all of his stock was 

 beaten to shreds. 



General reports from across the state 

 line are that business is improving, 

 with plenty of funeral work. 



Miss L. E. Boggess reports good out- 

 of-town trade, which, with funeral 

 work, has kept her busy. 



Henry Kusik was at Council Bluffs 

 last week. He says stock of all kinds 

 is fine and that from now on heavy 

 consignments will be coming in. 



Biedermann & Son are busy these 

 days. Between decorations and green- 

 house work, they are kept on the jump. 



Nelson Jarrett is getting ready for 

 his winter trade. Everything here is 

 in splendid shape, especially his stock 

 of ferns. 



Ed. Ellsworth has a fine lot of poiu- 

 settias, both bench and pot-grown. His 

 place is looking fine. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co. reports plenty of wedding orders on 

 hand. The company has commenced 

 to receive heavy shipments of cut stock 

 from the greenhouses. 



The Florists' Club held its meeting 

 Monday, October 5, in the ladies' par- 

 lor of the Coates house. All present 

 seemed to be favorably impressed with 

 the new quarters. 



Callers on the trade last week were: 

 Walter Mott, of the Hammond Slug 

 Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y.; Robert 

 Newcomb, of Vaughan 's Seed Store, 

 Chicago, and Mr. Ford, representing A. 

 Herrmann, New York. W. J. B.

Sunlight Double Glass Sash is 

 the STANDARD Everywhere 



These sash have become the standard sash , cutting out half the labor and 

 cost and doubling the net profits of early gardening wherever used. This 

 superior efficiency is due to these facts! The two layers of glass enclose 

 an air space — a transparent blanket — through which the sun's rays pass freely 

 to the beds, carrying heat and light, but through which the cold from with- 

 out and the stored heat from within pass very slowly. » 



The result is the elimination of mats and shutteri savine half the labor of coverine and 

 uncovetiag. As these extra covert, used on single layer sash, need never be boueht or renewed, 

 thus half the expense of hot-bed gardening is saved. 



The Sunlight Creenhouae on which the sash are also used is Inexpensive, attractive 

 and a highly profitable addition to any garden. See the catalog. 



Write today for the Free Catalog and enclose, if you wish it, four cents in stamps for 

 Professor Mastey's helpful booklet on the use of cold-frames, hot-beds and small greenhouses.
