KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Koses are plentiful and there is a 

 good demand for the pink and white 

 varieties. American Beauties went 

 slowly at Easter and there were enough 

 to meet all demands. There were great 

 quantities of carnations, but not nearly 

 enough to meet the demand. Even if 

 the department stores had large quan- 

 tities, this did not seem to affect the 

 flower shops, as they sold out early in 

 the afternoon Saturday. Cut lilies sold 

 well at $3 per dozen. Sweet peas sold 

 well. There was a good demand for 

 violets, but the supply was short. Val- 

 ley sold well. Snapdragons were in 

 good supply, but sales were slow. * 



In potted plants, spiraeas took the 

 lead this year. The demand was heavy, 

 but the supply at some stores was 

 small. Lilies sold well at 25 cents per 

 bloom. The supply was large to start 

 with, but in the end there were not 

 enough to go around. Plants with four 

 and five blooms sold first, as that num- 

 ber seemed the right size. Cinerarias 

 sold well — in fact, better than in any 

 previous year. Dutch hyacinths were 

 scarce, and the few to be had were 

 soon taken. There was a good demand 

 for daffodils, although the supply was 

 short. 



Various Notes. 



The W. L. Eock Flower Co. reports 

 a splendid trade. The firm had more 

 calls for large plants and made-up bas- 

 kets this year than last year. The 

 large supply of lilies sold well. All 

 orders were well filled and on time. 



The Humfeld-Orear Floral Co. reports 

 an excellent business in every line. It 

 was impossible to get every order de- 

 livered Saturday, although the force 

 of help was large. 



W. H. Sawvel reports that his let- 

 tuce crop is all sold and that his three 

 houses of cucumbers are bearing finely. 

 He is cutting about 200 dozen per 

 week, and they are among the finest 

 shaped cucumbers that come to this 

 market. He is now planting roses in 

 solid benches. His 32,000 carnations 

 will soon be planted in the field. Large 

 preparations are being made to put 

 the entire place in flowers, to be sold 

 strictly at wholesale. W. H. H.
