The Florists^ Review 



Decembeb 19, 1912. 



KANSAS OITY. 



The Maxket. 



Trade was fairlv good last week and 

 is on a steady increase. Stock has not 

 been as plentiful as it was, since the 

 mums are now practically off the mar- 

 ket, although there are a few Nonin 

 and Chadwick left. Narcissi are more 

 plentiful and they help to fill up the 

 orders for funeral work with the retail- 

 ers. Violets are selling well and none 

 are thrown away. Boses are fair and 

 bring a moderate price. There is no 

 shortage, but the market keeps them 

 cleaned up fairly well. Carnations are 

 at a fancy price and are hard to get 

 hold of at this time. 



Various Notes. 



E. H. Frandsen & Co. will have a 

 full crop of fine roses and carnations 

 for Christmas. They have two houses 

 in cyclamens, in 4-inch, 5-inch and 6- 

 inch pots, that are pt fine appearance. 



E. S. Brown was operated on Mon- 

 day, December 9, and is expected to be 

 out of the hospital before Christmas. 



Henry Kusik & Co. report business 

 improving and say that Christmas or- 

 ders are coming in heavily. Carnations 

 are scarce with them. 



Wm. Foith has a fine lot of snap- 

 dragons and sweet peas. His carnations 

 are full of buds, but he is afraid the 

 main crop will be too late to come in 

 for the holiday trade. 



Ed. A. Humfeld has some excellent 

 Chadwick in bloom, both white and 

 yellow, which he expects to have for 

 Christmas. 



The W. L. Eock Flower Co. has an ex- 

 cellent stock of pot /plants of all kinds 

 for Christmas. 



Samuel Murray's Lorraine begonias 

 are as fine specimens as are to be found. 

 He sells a large number every year. 



The W. H. Sawvel Floral Co. has a 

 splendid lot of carnations, full of buds, 

 which look promising for the holidays. 



Miss J. Murray says she has received 

 a great many Christmas orders and that 

 business is good. W. J. B. 



Tampa, Fla. — A new store, to be 

 known as The Flower Shop, has been 

 opened at 605 Franklin street, a cen- 

 tral and most convenient location. The 

 store will be under the management of 

 Miss Helena Armstrong, assisted by 

 Miss Mamie Galvin.
