The Weekly Florists' Review*

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Considering the tailing off in social 

 events and the commencing of the 

 Lenten season trade in general has 

 been fair. The weather, the beginning 

 of the oast week, was warm and sp'.ing- 

 like; Thursday a blizzard which drove 

 the mercury nearly down to zero and 

 Saturday it laiued all day. There was 

 a slight drop in the price of roses last 

 week, but the expected glut did not 

 occur, although there is plenty of 

 everything with bulb stuff in the lead. 



The west end florists report a few 

 dinner and luncheon decorations. 

 These with a few funeral orders made 

 business fair with them. 



From present prospects quite a few 

 new greenhouses will be built the com- 

 ing summer by several of our larga 

 growers. 



The wholesale men report a very 

 good shipping trade during the past 

 several weeks, mostly roses and car- 

 nations. Good first class Beauties are 

 hard to find, and the few that come in 

 demand an excellent price. Most oth- 

 er roses are to be had in any quanti- 

 ty. Price on good Brides and Maids 

 J5, while very choice stock sells at ?8; 

 Perles and Woottons $2 to $3; carna- 

 tions plentiful and of fairly good quali- 

 ty with price $2 for ordinary and $2.50 

 and $3 for fancies. White, Scott and 

 Daybreak sell the best. 



Most all bulb stuff is slow; daffodils 

 still a drug and Dutch hyacinths only 

 fair in demand; valley and Romans 

 plentiful and cheap; tulips good with 

 little demand. 



Hariisii and callas are very plenti- 

 ful and will soon overstock the mar- 

 ket; price now $10 and $12.50. 



Violets are again becoming a glut, 

 especially small singles, which sold as 

 low as 50 cents per 1000; Calif ornias 

 40 cents or i^Z per 1000, but not so plen- 

 tiful as the former, 



• Various Notes. 



Mrs, H. Buckley, wife of the manager 

 of the South Side Floral Co.. Spring- 

 field, 111., was a visitor last week. 



Mrs. Grosshart. of Belleville, mother 

 of Gus Grosshart, died last week at the 

 home of her son. The funeral occurred 

 Thursday afternoon and was attended 

 by all the Belleville craft. Gus has 

 the sympathy of all the St. Louis Flor- 

 ists. 



The store just vacated by W. E. 

 Jordan. 615 Locust street, is again open 

 with John M. Hudson as manager. 

 John says not his good looks but his 

 winning ways will make a success of 

 the olace. 



Alex Walbart has started to vacate 

 his store at 607 Washington avenue, as 

 the lease expired March 1. The loca- 

 tion of Mr. Walbart's new place is not 

 yet settled. 



Jas. Dunford, of Central, is cutting
