The Florists' Review 



Februabt 10, 1014. 



KANSAS OITY. 



The Miarket. 



St. Valentine's day brought an in- 

 crease of business as compared with last 

 year. Pot plants were in heavy de- 

 mand and everything in bloom was sold. 

 The buying public is becoming more 

 educated in the art of basket work and 

 just one plant in a basket, well ar- 

 ranged, makes a profitable and quick 

 sale; more so than the old way of using 

 a pot cover. 



Roses have been short of the demand 

 and red roses, at the close of the week, 

 were not to be had at any price. Kill- 

 arney and* White Killarney held up in 

 price all week. Beauties are becoming 

 more plentiful and a big improvement 

 is seen in them as well as in the 

 Killarneys. Carnations are coming in 

 more plentifully and are of better 

 quality. There is no oversupply as yet, 

 but it is expected within two weeks. 

 Bulbous stock is more plentiful, espe- 

 cially daffodils and jonquils. The de- 

 mand for violets and sweet peas in cor- 

 sage bouquets was extra heavy for 

 valentine parties. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Newell reports that he had a 

 good valentine business, but says it 

 would have been better if it had not 

 been so cold the few days before. 



Samuel Murray is showing a fine lot 

 of lilac, grown at his greenhouses. St. 

 Valentine's day business was up to his 

 expectations. 



The George M. Kellogg Flower & 

 Plant Co. has been busy with decora- 

 tions. That business is increasing and 

 stock is becoming more plentiful is the 

 report at this place. 



R. S. Brown & Son are filling their 

 houses with spring bedding stock. 

 They have about 30,000 feet of glass 

 devoted to nothing else in the spring. 



W. L. Rock Flower Co. reports an 

 increase over last year on the St. 

 Valentine's day business. Blooming 

 plants in baskets were more in demand 

 this year than ever and the call for 

 corsage bouquets also was exceptionally 

 heavy. 



The Peterson Floral Co. had a large 

 decoration last week for the Western 

 Fruit Growers' Association convention. 



Business across the state line was all 

 that could be expected for St. Valen- 

 tine's day. Corsage bouquets were in 

 special demand and pot plants went 

 well. W. J. B.

 I Talks About 



Planning 



Y OU know exactly how you want your 

 * greenhouse— and that's the way 

 you want it. But do you? 



Now supposing that because of our 

 many years of experience in solving all 

 kinds of difficult greenhouse kinks, we 

 could suggest to you certain changes 

 that meant, not only less first cost, 

 but less cost every year In run- 

 ning your houses; wouldn't you 

 kind of scratch your head and think it 

 over carefully? Of course you would. 





Some such things we can help you 

 with by letter. Others we need to 

 know first facts about and should come W) 

 right to your grounds for them. This ^ 

 we are always willing to do. We want «|n 

 just such opportunities, that's what we ^i 

 advertise for. Let us know when you 

 are ready to see us.
