The Weekly Florists' Review. 



XOVEMBER 



plucky, but if he only injects into his 

 business in Pittsburg the same energy, 

 the same integrity and the same won- 

 derful business ability that have 

 proved equally alike satisfactory to 

 his shippers as to his purchasers, he 

 will gain the strong confidence of all 

 the community in Pittsburg that he 

 undoubtedly has in Buffalo. 



Before your impression can appear, 

 unless printed in your next issue, I 

 make an appeal to the florists of Buf- 

 falo, one and all, big and little, to 

 help along the Floral Exhibition, for 

 which some of us spent many unre- 

 mittent hours. Show whatever you 

 can, however small. The writer ex- 

 pects to be «eventh or eighth in some 

 exhibits, but that matters not. Help 

 along a good cause. Good must come 

 out of this flower show. It will teach, 

 with your help and your influence, 

 that, outside of plenty to eat and suf- 

 ficient to hide our nakedness, there i.^ 

 little left to study but the beautiful. 

 Our people are ready to patronize us, 

 I know, but I take this opportunity to 

 say that I trust, hope and beseech 

 that the many friends out of town who 

 have promised to help will not forget 

 us. Our life and death depends up- 

 on it. 



Several people visited us. I have 

 no time to classify them according to 

 their magnitude. They were: R. W. 

 Greenlaw, representing N. F. McCar- 

 thy & Co., Boston; Max Bee tus on 

 boxes, Dayton, O., and young Mr. Sie- 

 brecht. of H. Siebrecht & Son, New 

 Rochelle. W. S. 



ST. LOUIS, 



The Market. 



Business is fairly good with chrys- 

 anthemums on top. No over stock of 

 fine specimen blooms at present; price 

 for very best. $3 per dozen; best sell- 

 ing colors, white, pink and yellow. 

 Some very fine Robinsons were noted, 

 also some good Sunderbruch; best sell- 

 ing at sight at top prices, but the bulk 

 of stock at $1.50 per dozen. The de- 

 mand is increasing each day for chrys- 

 anthemum blooms. Pot plants of this 

 flower are coming in more freely, and 

 every store has a good stock on sale. 

 I also noted a fine lot of plants at 

 Union Market which sell at 25 and 50 

 cents each. 



Roses are beginning to feel the ef- 

 fects, and are plentiful. Beauties, 

 unless they are the very best, are 

 hard to sell. Perhaps this week dur- 

 ing the horse show quite a lot of 

 Beauties will be used, but I am afraid 

 the chrysanthemum will have the call. 

 Best Meteors, Brides, Maids and Car- 

 nots, bring $3 and $5 per hundred for 

 choice fancy stock. Perles and Woot- 

 tons and seconds of the above varie- 

 ties sell at $1 and $2. Beauties, $1.50 

 to $2.50. Some short stem stock is 

 sold at 4 cents. 



Carnations opened up scarce to-day 

 (Monday) and were not over plentiful 

 last week. Demand is good, extra 

 fancy stock bringing as high as $2 per

nundred. but the bulk brings $1 and 

 $1.50. 



Violets are arriving better each 

 week. Californias are now selling at 

 50 cents. Small singles were 35 cents 

 the first of last week, but dropped 

 back to 25 cents during the latter 

 part. Valley scarce, and brings $4; 

 Smilax, $12.50 and $15 per hundred. No 

 Romans in this market yet. 



Notes. 



Felter & Brucker, at 4335 Lexington 

 avenue, are sending in some very fine 

 chrysanthemum plants, about the 

 best seen. TUeir cut blooms are also 

 in fine shape. Mr, Felter is thinking 

 of entering a lot of his plants at the 

 show. This will be the first time they 

 nave entered for competition. 



W. E. Jordan, son of J. M. Jordan, 

 will open a retail store at 615 Locust 

 street November 1. 'Willie has bought 

 all the greenhouses from the Jordan 

 Floral Co., ana will use all his pro- 

 duction at the store. 



John Hudson has changed his mind 

 about going in the wholesale business 

 with Fred Foster, and will manage 

 the store for W. E. Jordan. 



Ed Beuehel, of the Riessen Floral 

 Co., reports that they had the decora- 

 tion of two large steamboats for the 

 Druggists' Convention two weeks ago. 



Fred C. Weber has one of the larg- 

 est weddings of the season to furnish 

 on November 9. which will use up a 

 large amount of Beauties, chrysanthe- 

 mums and violets. 



Miss Theresa Badaracco reports bus- 

 iness good with plenty of funeral 

 work. The large horse shoe made by 

 Miss Theresa at the Crawford open- 

 ing was very much admired. 



Mrs. M. Ayers, of the late Ayers Flo- 

 ral Co., has opened up temporary quar- 

 ters on Grand avenue, near Olive. 

 Their new store, a few doors south, 

 ■which is not quite finished, will be 

 very handsome. The fixtures will be 

 white and gold, and a very attractive 

 front with two large show windows. 

 Mrs. Ayers, who is considered second 

 to none among our lady artists in the 

 city, has a large following, and will no 

 doubt make it a paying establishment. 



Mr. Frank Ellis, of the St. Louis 



Cut Flower Co., has been very sick
