The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



OCTOBER 27. 1S9S. 



ST. LOUIS EXHIBITION. 



A copy of the final premium list for 

 the eighth annual chrysanthemum 

 show of the St. Louis Florists' Club 

 has reached us and it certainly is a 

 beauty. The cover is embossed and 

 printed in two colors and the typo- 

 graphy throughout is excellent. And 

 not the least important is the generous 

 array of advertising, which indicates 

 that the book is a source of profit in- 

 stead of an expense to the club. The 

 local merchants have been very libe- 

 ral and the club has certainly given 

 good value in return for such a hand- 

 somely printed and illustrated book 

 will not be thrown lightly aside. The 

 St. Louis boys have surely set the pace 

 in the way of a premium list and pro- 

 gram. 



The exhibition will be held at the 

 Coliseum, Nov. 8th to 12th inclusive. 

 Mr. J. J. Beneke is chaii-inan of the ex- 

 ecutive committee and manager, and 

 those interested can undoubtedly ob- 

 tain copies of the premium list by ad- 

 dressing him at 1222 Olive St., or Emll 

 Schray, Secy., 4101 Pennsylvania Ave 



HUNT-S REVIEW OP THE CmCAGO MAR- 

 KET. 



The market is rather unsettled, but prices 

 are still up to the mark that was set by Ju- 

 bilee week. This is not due to an Increased 

 demand, but because of the weather condi- 

 tions, cold dark days decreasing the supply. 



rhe most noticeable feature of the week is 

 the shortage in carnations and the rapid ad- 

 vance m price from 40 to 50 cents per hun- 

 dred ten days ago to $1.50 and $2.00 to-day 

 fancies being affected also, but not so decided- 



hn?^^®^ ^',°*^'' <'°""""es m fair supply and is 

 boding its own against the •■Mums" remark- 

 ably well this season. There is certainly not 

 an overabundance of extra choice stock and 

 iieauties are shortening up somewhat. 



This morning opens up cold and frosty which 

 we hope will produce a better demand tor 



Murns, as they have been rather dragging 

 for the past few days, retailers complaining 

 of a very limited call for them so far this 

 season. Pmk varieties are more plentiful and 

 moving at fair fpures. 



Violets grown locally are improving, but 

 still not up to the Michigan in color or size- 

 the latter are meeting with a brisk demand! 

 in spite of stlfter prices business is not very 

 satisfactory and the) volume for the past week 

 will hardly equal that of a year ago

JADOO. 



S. H. Lucas, Anacostia. D. C, writes 

 under date of Oct. 11: "I have sowed 

 about a half acre of sweet peas, part in 

 Jadoo and part in compost; those in 

 Jadoo came up finely, every seed 

 seemed to germinate. I also sowed 

 twelve flats of pansy seed, and they 

 also came up finely. I had a lot of 

 fuchsias which would not grow; pot- 

 ted them in Jadoo, three plants in a 

 5-inch pot, and now they are fine, 

 healthy plants, full of young growth.' 

 I like Jadoo, it is a 'good thing.' "
