KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



Business has been unusually good dur- 

 ing the last week, while the tempera- 

 ture was a little high for this time of 

 the year. A number of weddings and 

 social functions demanded a great many 

 cut flowers. Funeral work was beyond 

 expectations with everybody, it seems. 

 Shrub work is brisk with florists 

 who have a general run of business. 

 The week was marked with a glut 

 in the lower grades of carnations and 

 roses. Department and grocery stores 

 had big sales on both from 1 cent to 3 

 cents, but the better grades were needed 

 at times. Bulb stock is about all gone. 

 Ctood stock is bringing a high price. 

 Sweet peas are selling cheaply and in 

 large lots. Of the standard varieties 

 in carnations, Enchantress is the best, 

 while in roses the Killarneys are show- 

 ing up the best. There seems to be 

 plenty of bedding stock everywhere. A' 

 number of the florists here are figuring 

 on selling last fall's propagations of 

 geraniums this spring for $1.50 per 

 dozen out of 3-inch pots, and they are 

 worth it, as they will have to be spread 

 far apart, which takes up about as much 

 room as a 4-inch. The call for bedding 

 stock has started and a lot of people 

 have planted outside. 



Various Notes. 



James Payne has a fine lot of bed- 

 ding stock and had to throw out several 

 benches of carnations in order to make 

 room for his spring stock. He also re- 

 ports that funeral work was brisk last 

 week with him. 



R. S. Brown & Son have about 75,000 

 vincas every year and they report that 

 they are going fast, as well as the bed- 

 ding stock, of which they sell an enor- 

 mous lot. 



Samuel Murray reports that business 

 increased during the week, especially in 

 decorative work. 



Edward Ellsworth, of the Eosary, is 

 busy getting his place ready for the 

 spring trade, and his stock looks excep- 

 tionally good. 



W. L. Eock is back from the New 

 York show, where he was one of the 

 judges. He reports that it was a big 

 success for a spring show. Business 

 has been good with his firm the last 

 week, 



Arthur Newell says business is better 

 and he has some large decorations on 

 hand for next week. He will decorate 

 for the National Bank of Eepublic and 

 he will use a great many cut flowers in- 

 stead of so many palms. The bank will 

 give away souvenirs of cut flowers.
