The Florists^ Review 



May 7, 1914. 



KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Business for the week was all that 

 could be expected for this time of year 

 in the cut flower line. There was an 

 oversupply of carnations in the first 

 part of the week, but it is predicted 

 that there will not be any more cheap 

 carnations. Boses are becoming scarce; 

 last week it was. difficult to fill orders 

 for them, unless the orders were placed 

 in advance. The roses are of good qual- 

 ity. New sweet peas have started to 

 come to this market and they are excep- 

 tionally good. Gladioli and snapdragons 

 are in demand. Gladioli are bringing 

 fair prices, while snapdragons are 

 cheaper thaa they were several weeks 

 ago. 



Club Meeting. 



Hugo NeflF, salesman for the Eock 

 Flower Co., was the winner of the large 

 vase given by the A. L. Kandall. Co., of 

 Chicago, and he had thirty membe'rs to 

 compete against. The vase is certainly 

 a dandy. 



The club will^meet again on Monday 

 evening, May -18, at 8 o'clock, at Mrs. 

 Moseley's, 710 Minnesota avenue, Kan- 

 sas City, Kan. Everybody is welcome. 



Kichard Parker, representing the A. 

 L. Bandall Co., was present and enjoyed 

 the meeting. A discussion on "Depart- 

 ment Store Flower Sales" occupied the 

 greater part of the evening and was 

 exceedingly interesting. 



Various Notes. 



Biedermann & Son lost a good horse 

 last week. The animal slipped on the 

 pavement and broke a leg. 



A. D. Mohr has been cutting a nice lot 

 of snapdragons, sweet peas and carna- 

 tions. His carnations are exceptionally 

 good for thigJtime of year. He also has 

 about 15.000 fine geraniums at his place. 



Mrs. W. L. Fowler, of T. J. Noll & 

 Co., has been home on account of ill- 

 ness for over a week, but her speedy 

 recovery is hoped for. 



E. S. Brown & Son report that busi- 

 ness this season has been the best in 

 their experience. They had plenty of 

 funeral work and decorations all winter. 

 This spring they had both ranges of 

 houses filled with bedding stock, nearly 

 all of which has been sold. They ship 

 a great deal of bedding stock to the 

 south. W. J. B.
