ST, LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The weather has been finite pleasant 

 during the past week and business 

 very satisfactory with the store men. 

 St. Valentine's day was good for ev- 

 erybody. Cut flowers were mostly sold, 

 violets being in great demand, with a 

 fair demand for blooming pot plants 

 and pans filled with bulbous stock. 

 Commission men report an increased 

 shipping demand', orders being unus- 

 ually heavy, which helped to clear up 

 stock. Ash Wednesday put an end to 

 social gayeties and the West End flor- 



ist expects little of this kind of work 

 from now until after Easter. Our com- 

 mission men expect a glut in all kinds 

 of flowers by the end of the week. 



Roses in most all classes are plenti- 

 ful and of improved quality; no ap- 

 parent glut of any one variety just 

 now, but prospects favor one. Beau- 

 ties are scarce, with brisk demand. 

 Very few long stemmed flowers are 

 noted. Some extra choice are selling 

 at $4; good long stemmed stock finds 

 ready sale at $3 per dozen, and short 

 stuff from 50 cents to $1 per dozen. 

 Maids find a good market at from $1 

 to $8; Brides good at same price; Me- 

 teors of much better color but rather 

 small bring from $4 to $10, according 

 to length of stem; Woottons and 

 Perles, $3 and $4. 



Carnations are plenty and of fairly 

 good quality, but price is still up; the 

 cheapest sold at $2, with fancy $2.50 

 and $3. 



Bulb stock of almost every variety 

 is selling slowly. Freesias and daffo- 

 dils are a drug and any price will buy 

 them; Dutch hyacinths, only light 

 shades, $3; tulips slow at $2; valley, 

 $2 and $3; Romans, same; Harrisii 

 quite plentiful, price still $12.50; cal- 

 las $10 and $12,50. 



Violets have held their own the past 

 week; stock offered quite good. Cali- 

 fornias bring 40 cents per 100; $3 in 

 1,000 lots; small singles, 15 cents, or 

 $1 per 1,000; doubles, 50 cents. 



The bright, warm days have brought 

 out quite a lot of fine blooming plants, 

 and in the store windows can be seen
