KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



Business last week steadily increased 

 and conditions were more encouraging. 

 Though the supply of cut flowers far 

 exceeds the demand, the prices of stock 

 remain about the same. 



One of the leading dry goods stores 

 last week had a large sale of chrysan-< 

 themums and carnations, and the stock 

 handled was good for the prices that 

 were asked. The stock was shipped 

 from an out-of-town concern. Some 

 florists think that these sales hurt busi- 

 ness in a general way, while others 

 can see an advantage in them. As a 

 general rule, it is not the regular 

 flower-buying public that attends these 

 sales, but a different class of people, 

 generally poorer, and hence such sales 

 serve to popularize flowers and create 

 more of a taste for them. Some fine 

 violets were also sold on the streets 

 last week. Carnations and roses sold 

 a great deal better last week than 

 usual, and both are improving greatly 

 in size and color. Potted mums are 

 moving fast; there are few plants left 

 for Thanksgiving. Home-grown cut 

 chrysanthemums are still in heavy de- 

 mand, though there are few left. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel Murray has an attractive 

 window. It would make any person 

 hungry to see the excellent grapes 

 shown in a large basket in the center 

 of the display, and they were grown 

 at his own greenhouses. 



Arthur Newell says business is good 

 and he has been exceedingly busy dur- 

 ing the last week with funeral work. 



E. S. Brown & Son have about cut 

 their last mums. They have disposed 

 of a large quantity of them this fall. 



E. H. Frandsen & Co. have as fine 

 a lot of cyclamens as can be found in 

 the west. 



Henry Kusik & Co. say that stock is 

 moving fast. Everything that reaches 

 the store is quickly disposed of, espe- 

 cially the roses. 



William J. Wirt, of Parsons, Kan., 

 was in the city last week and called 

 on many of the florists. W. J. B. 



Nashville, Mich. — John Means, who 

 has successfully conducted a florists' 

 business here during the last year, has 

 now completed the erection of three 

 greenhouses, each 20x70. These are the 

 ^'^t.ifl^.efinjiouses in town. 



THE NEW GOLD MEDAL ROSE 



"Mrs. Charles Russell" 



ii This firiant forcing rose is an American seedling raised at the 

 Waban Rose Conservatories and has been tested in our 

 houses for several years. 



a. It has proved to be a strong, vigorous grower, and its freedom 

 of bloom is remarkable for a rose that is fully as large as an 

 American Beauty. 



C Its large, pointed buds, of a clear rose-pink and delightfully 

 sweet fragrance, are the admiration of all who have seen it, 

 either growing in our houses or as exhibited by us at the 

 different shows. 



<l It has received high honors when exhibited at such centers as 

 Philadelphia, New York and Boston. At the latter place the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society honored it with a Gold 

 Medal, a rare distinction from this conservative society. 



Plants will be ready for delivery after March 1, 1913
