The Florists^ Review 



OcxoBBB 24, 1912. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



This week shows an increase of busi- 

 ness over last, with a great many dec- 

 orations to take the supply of cut flow- 

 ers. At present no one is overstocked, 

 as the demand is about an even break. 

 All the early varieties of chrysanthe- 

 mums are in full crop. Carnations are 

 not as good as they should be, owing 

 to the hot weather that prevails. The 

 demand for potted plants is rather 

 slow. The window displays last week 

 were the best seen for some time. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Kusik says the demand for 

 stock is greater than the consignments. 

 Mr. King, of the Butte Floral Co., 

 Butte, Mont., is visiting Mr. Kusik. 



The W. L. Eock Flower Co. is exceed- 

 ingly busy decorating. The firm reports 

 that the business in decorating is twice 

 as heavy as it was a year ago. 



The Geo. M. Kellogg Flower & Plant 

 Co. has just finished planting five new 

 houses, each 30x200. 



Samuel Murray has an unusually 

 pretty window display, consisting of 

 Scotch heather, with a row of arauca- 

 rias at the back. 



Ed. D. Ellsworth has as fine a lot of 

 araucarias and pot mums as can be 

 seen anywhere. 



B. S. Brown & Son are making big 

 preparations for spring trade, as they 

 have never been able to supply the 

 demand as yet. 



W. J. Barnes is still busy decorating. 

 He had the decorations for the Skinner- 

 Stowell wedding, at the home and also 

 in St. George's Episcopal church. 



A. Elberfield, of the Alpha Floral 

 Co., had a boiler explosion last week in 

 the conservatory at the rear of his 

 apartments. The -damage amounted to 

 about $250. The cause was low water.
