KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Business is the best it has been since 

 the beginning of Lent. Roses are still 

 arriving in large quantities and there 

 is plenty of stock on hand to fill all 

 orders. American Beauties are plenti- 

 ful, except in the better grades, which 

 are a little scarce and bring a good 

 price. The Killarneys are in good con- 

 dition. Of other roses there are not 

 many in this market, but those that do 

 come are in good shape. Carnations 

 still are plentiful and the price remains 

 the same. Sweet peas and violets are 

 not so abundant and have advanced a 

 little in price. Bulbous stock is less 

 plentiful. Lilies are increasing in quan- 

 tity and will be in large supply until 

 after Easter. Green stock has been 

 rather scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Murray's greenhouses are in 

 excellent condition and every plant 

 seems to be a specimen. He has an 

 exceptionally fine lot of lilies and lilac 

 and, in fact, everything in general for 

 Easter trade. His houses are a regular 

 show place and well worth seeing. 



The Alpha Floral Co. reports that the 

 Lenten business is far ahead of that of 

 last year. 



Henry Kusik & Co. handled a great 

 many Beauties last week and they were 

 exceptionally fine. This firm is still 

 behind on wire work, as the orders 

 come in faster than they can be cared 

 for. Business is good also in the supply 

 department. 



W. J. Barnes had an unusually busy 

 week in funeral work. W. J. B. 



HELENA, MONT. 



Business last week was exceptionally 

 good, and flowers of all kinds cleaned 

 up well. Beauties and Eadiance show 

 a substantial improvement. Daffodils 

 and tulips are exceptionally fine in 

 quality. Pans of hyacinths and tulips 

 have been good sellers. Stock for Eas- 

 ter is looking fine, with prospects for a 

 clean-up. 



The State Nursery Co. reports busi- 

 ness good in both the wholesale and re- 

 tail departments. J. W. H. 



Superior, Wis. — The business run by 

 Chas. Bergeson in connection with the 

 Palace of Sweets, at 1717 Belknap 

 street, has been taken over by Noel A. 

 Pegler. 



JOY! 



This is a Carnation that did not get a reputation 

 over night. We have been handling it for a little over 

 two years and ought to know something about it. 



IT'S A REAL RED 



It is the kind of Carnation that proves the florist's friend. Shipped over a distance, it 

 will look as good on arrival as when sent. This feature appeals to us because we know what 

 it means to the man who is depending on us. 



JOY has been described by Mr. E. H. Blameusrr, of Niles Center, 111.— the man who 

 raised it— as "a strong grower, early, very free and continuous bloomer, with strong calyx 

 and good stem." That should be good enough for anybody.
