MAY 11, 1S99. 



on the Flatbush side, it was unani- 

 mously voted that "Hoodoos" were re- 

 sponsible for everything, and the "Red 

 Tie" was worst of all.

After these battles had been won 

 by the New Yorks, two enlarged teams 

 were organized, and "Pots" and other 

 vehicles containing car fare were 

 duly collected into heaps, by those 

 most confident, to carry them away.

After all was over the party sat 

 down to supper and with O'Mara's 

 variations on "Dooley in Peace and 

 War," and other bon mots, of solid 

 and desserts, a most enjoyable night 

 was spent; even the Flatbush boys 

 forgot their defeat, possibly assisted 

 by the remembrance that they had 

 won in the two previous matches. 



IVERA. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



There has been no improvement in 

 the cut flower trade since our last je- 

 port. The warm weather more like 

 July than May, brought out the stock 

 very rapidly and most of it being of a 

 very poor quality. 



Roses are soft and off color. Some 

 of the best Beauties still sell for $3 

 per dozen; shorts bring a much lower 

 price and the fakir is selling them at 

 15 cents per dozen. Other roses, Brides, 

 Meteors, Maids and Pearles are plenti- 

 ful and are quoted at $1 to ?3 per 

 100 for good stock, while some sold 

 as low as |6 per 1000. 



Carnations have taken a great tum- 

 ble, are extremely plentiful and the 

 demand slow. Selected fancies range 

 from $1 to fl.DO; general stock, 50 and 

 75 cents per 100. White is in fair de- 

 mand, while reds, Scott and Daybreak 

 come in somewhat bleached from the 

 hot we-ather. Violets are pretty well at 

 an end and the few coming in are 

 small and not salable. Sweet peas are 



more plentiful, have taken a drop and 

 now bring 35 cents per 100. Harrisii 

 and Callas are still a great glut and 

 lots of them go to the dump pile. Price 

 asked is $4 and $6 per 100; in large 

 lots at your own price. 



Bulb stock is becoming scarce, the 

 outdoor stuff is now swamping the 

 market. Lots of lilac and snowballs. 

 Some very good outdoor valley is seen 

 and brings |1 per 100. Dagger ferns 

 are now coming in and sell at 20 cents 

 per 100. Smilax is still selling well 

 and is not over plentiful. 



The Plant Market. 



The growers are more than pleased 

 with the outlook for the season, as 

 their spring plant trade has been good, 

 most of them having disposed of large 

 quantities of plants at the market and 

 have booked large orders for bedding 

 plants. The plants offered for sale 

 this spring are very fine, clean and 

 healthy and excellent stuff can be seen 

 at the stands of C. C. Sanders, Wm. 

 Schray, C. Young and Sons, Chas. Bey- 

 er, and many others. 



The planting in the different parks 

 in the city will begin this week. The 

 shrubbery and trees throughout the 

 parks are looking at their best and 

 everything looks springlike. 



Notes. 



An exhibition of wild flowers which 

 grow around St. Louis, will be given 

 by the Engelmann Botanical Club of 

 St. Louis, in the Board of Education 

 building. May 13. The exhibition, will 

 be open to the public from 1 to 9 p. m. 

 and will be extremely interesting as 

 specimens of every known wild flower 

 within 50 miles of the city will be 

 exhibited. 



Michael Semmler, Sr., florist, of 

 Belleville, 111., died at his home Sat- 

 urday, aged 73. Mr. Semmler was well 

 known throughout the country. He 

 was an enthusiast in anything that re- 

 lated to floriculture. The funeral took 



place Monday at 2 p. m. and quite a 

 number of St. Louis florists were in 

 attendance. The widow and children 

 have the sympathy of all florists. 



James Arado. for many years with 

 the Jordan Floral Co., is now with C. 

 Young and Sons Co. 



A severe wind and hail storm yester- 

 day (Sunday) afternoon did great 

 damage to trees in Tower Grove and 

 other parks, although the hail was 

 not large enough to do much damage 

 to glass. With the South St. Louis 

 florists the only real damage was at 

 Gus. Eggling's place, who was right 

 in the path of the storm. Gus. repoiT- 

 ed his loss at $100. 



Bowling. 



On Monday night the Bowling club 

 rolled six games with only five mem- 

 bers in attendance. The warm weath- 

 er must be keeping the boys away. 

 The proprietor of the alleys will have 

 two large electric fans for us by Mon- 

 day night so as we can keep on bowl- 

 ing during the summer months. The 

 scores made were good, as will be 



NURSERYMEN'S CONVENTION. 



The American Association of Nurs- 

 erymen will hold its twenty-fourth an- 

 nual convention in Chicago June 14 

 and 15. The Chicago Beach Hotel has 

 been selected as headquarters and the 

 meetings will be held in the hotel. 



LA FAYETTE, IND.— Herman Roth, 

 formerly of Huntington, Ind., is now 

 nicely located at the corner of Fowler 

 avenue and Grant street, where he is 

 growing high-grade roses and carna- 

 tions. 



The Right Cypress for 

 Greenhouse Material. 



Have you heard of Cypress Greenhouse Material that has not been satisfac- 

 tory ? If you have it does not follow that Cypress is not the best lumber to use. 

 There is White Cypress, Yellow Cypress and Red Cypress; there is Cypress that 

 grows on the high lands and Cypress that grows in the swamps. 



All of these diflierent kinds are not suitable for greenhouse purposes. Do you 

 know which kind is best and do you know that kind when you see it ? If not you 

 would better buy from those that do know and will deliver exactly what they sell. 

 We introduced Cypress for greenhouse construction and pushed it to the front. 

 We know all about it. For fifteen years we have made a specialty of furnishing it, 

 and during this time we have built up a reputation that we can not afford to jeop- 

 ardize. We send out the best only.
