The Weekly Florists' Review* 



NOTBMBBB 17, 1910. 



KANSAS OITY, MO. 



The Market. 



Eoses are now plentiful, but they are 

 only of fair quality. American Beauties 

 are not so plentiful; the demand seems 

 greater than the supply. The supply of 

 carnations is greater than in previous 

 years at this time. The carnations are 

 mostly shipped in from Chicago. The 

 market for chrysanthemums has been 

 fine. As there is a good supply of these, 

 they form the chief decorations for wed- 

 dings and receptions. 



Good violets are scarce as yet, but 

 the growers promise a good crop soon. 

 Cosmos is fine this year; however, there 

 has been only a fair demand for it. 



New Firm of Vegetable Growers. 



W. H. Sawvel and H. Jones, two 

 enterprising gentlemen of Kansas City, 

 have built, this fall, ten greenhouses, 

 each 29x150. Their purpose is to grow 

 lettuce, tomatoes, sweet peas and cu- 

 cumbers. Three houses are now planted 

 to lettuce, and 15,000 rhubarb clumps 

 will be planted under the lettuce 

 benches, to be forced this winter. In 

 one house are sweet peas, which were 

 started in pots and are now six to eight 

 inches tall and in healthy condition. 

 Six houses will be devoted to tomatoes 

 for one crop; then two of these houses 

 will be planted in cucumbers. 



Over 1,000 loads of manure and earth 

 have been hauled to fill the beds in 

 these houses. All the beds are solid, 

 on the ground, except the lettuce 

 benches, which are raised to accommo- 

 date the rhubarb. 



The houses are located between two 

 hills at Fifty-eighth street and Ben- 

 nington avenue, northeast of Swope 

 park. The proprietors own twenty-seven 

 acres, on which the houses are built. 

 The houses are up-to-date. All have 

 iron posts, with a good stone wall all 

 around the outside. Two 100 horse- 

 power boilers are now being installed. 

 A large brick smokestack is now under 

 way and will soon be ready for use. 

 Their water supply is pumped from a 

 large creek that never goes dry. A con- 

 siderable force of men is employed and 

 the pay roll runs from $500 to $600 per 

 week. No money is spared in the effort 

 to build everything in good and sub- 

 stantial style. Next summer the houses 

 will be planted to chrysanthemums. 



Mr. Sawvel owns seven acres adjoin- 

 ing this plant and has been thinking of 

 covering this part next summer with 

 glass also. If he carries out his plan, 

 there will be carnations and American 

 Beauties planted in them. We all join 

 in saying, "Let the good work go on," 

 and we wish these two men success. 



Various Notes. 



E. T. Heite & Son, Merriam, Kan., are 

 now harvesting their early mums. They 

 have 70,000 planted and find a ready 

 sale for all of them. All are ordered 

 before they are cut. They had quite a 

 large supply of 5-inch and 7-inch potted 

 chrysanthemums, which are already sold 

 out. The firm is now transplanting let- 

 tuce, which will take the place of the 

 chrysanthemums as fast as they are 



sold. 



Samuel Murray has one of the nicest 

 cut flower shops in the city. It is large 

 and roomy and nicely arranged. His 

 loft'»tioB is a good one. 



A visitor is Sam Seligman, with 

 Wertheime" Bros., New York.

The Humfeld-Orear Floral Co. reports 

 a splendid business in the new location. 

 They have a most artistic shop, with 

 counters and mantel made of fancy 

 brick, with large stone slabs on top. 

 Their large ice-box is built of brick. 

 This makes it an unusually attractive 

 store and everyone who sees it pro- 

 nounces it strikingly original as well 

 as handsome. Mr. Orear, who is a 

 natural artist, feels justly proud of his 

 place. We wish him success in his 

 undertaking. W. H. H.
