KANSAS CITY. 



The Market. 



The local market was even except for 

 the last part of the week, white carna- 

 tions taking a big jump and selling 

 wholesale as high as $6 per hundred. 

 Sunday morning carnations could not be 

 had, as everybody sold out early Sat- 

 urday. Boses were scarce Monday morn- 

 ing. Mothers' day cleaned up every- 

 thing in the shape of cut flowers. Car- 

 nations and roses held up at a fair price 

 throughout the week. Funeral work and 

 decorating were rather heavy. Every- 

 body seemed to have his share of the 

 work. The spring bedding stock is 

 going faster this year than ever before, 

 also earlier by two weeks. The re- 

 tailers report that porch and window 

 boxes have increased in number by fifty 

 per cent over last year. 



Various Notes. 



Alpha Elberfield reports that for 

 Mothers' day his business was far 

 above expectations. It doubled over 

 last year. His orders were extremely 

 heavy, but the size of the individual 

 orders did not increase. He predicts 

 that in less than ten years Mothers' day 

 will be as heavy as any other holiday. 



A. F. Barbe says he has filled twice 

 as many porch boxes this year and has 

 hardly enough room to fill more until 

 some are taken away. 



L. G. Brown says he is too busy to 

 have any news and that they are going 

 as fast as they can possibly go. They 

 are now several days behind on orders. 

 ' E. D. Ellsworth reports that his spring 

 business is far ahead of last year and 

 that he has no argument with his cus- 

 tomers in regard to price. 

 I Ed. A. Humfeld says he is two weeks 

 behind on his orders. He planted all the 

 stock in Electric park again this year, 

 which he has done since the park has 

 been known of. He used between 33,000 

 and 35,000 plants this year. 

 , Nelson Jarrett has already sold three- 

 fourths of his stock. He thinks inside 

 of two more weeks he will be sold out. 

 He has had to work by electric light in 

 order to get out his orders. 



W. L. Rock reports that they sold 

 more fancy baskets for Mothers' day 

 this year than last year and that busi- 

 ness was heavy. W, J. B.

"NEW GEUM" 

 1913 



Geum Coccineom 



Mrs. J. Bradshaw 



This is one of the finest plants of recent 

 introduction. It will put quite into the 

 background all the Geums at present 

 found in gardens. This fine variety pro- 

 duces very large flowers, 2 inches or more 

 across, semi-double, and with plenty of 

 substance in them, of the most brilliant 

 scarlet. They are produced on long wir.v 

 stems, and continuously from June to 

 October. For cutting and border decora- 

 tion it is very hard to beat, and no doubt 

 it will figure conspicuously on the show 

 table in future.
