The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AUGUST 24, 1899. 



ST. LOUIS. 



Convention Echoes. 



The delegation from Detroit arrived 

 home in disjointed parties: some left 

 as early as Thursday, others Friday 

 night and a few stragglers on Sun- 

 day night. The boys were much dis- 

 appointed in not winning the cup but 

 find great consolation in knowing they 

 came in ahead of the much touted 

 Buffalos. Second place is not so bad; 

 only 68 pins behind the winners. 

 We were defeated fair and square and 

 we hope for better luck the next time. 



Our delegation is loud in praise of 

 Detroit and the generous, hearty wel- 

 come to all its visitors. The untir- 

 ing efforts of the local club made 

 everybody feel at home and too much 

 cannot be said. 



The Market. 



Business is picking up a little and 

 shipping trade seems to be reviving: 

 the outlook is better, though most of 

 the business is confined to funeral 

 orders. 



In roses some fine Kaiserins, Brides 

 and Maids are seen, from $2 to $4 per 

 100 is the price. Beauties are not good 

 and only a limited number of good 

 ones come in. Carnations are very 

 scarce and in good demand; asters 

 have shortened in supply, common 

 stock bringing 50 cents; extra quality, 

 in white and purple, bring $1; sweet 

 peas have disappeared; gladiolus and 

 tuberose stalks are a glut and sell 

 very cheap. 



Bowling. 



On arriving home we found to our 

 great surprise that the younger ele- 

 ment among the florists had organized 

 what they call the Junior Florists' 

 Bowling club, made up of employees of 

 the different florists. They played 

 their first game Monday night. Frank 

 Ellis is president, A. Y. Ellison, secre- 

 tary and Wm. Holtz, treasurer. They 

 will roll every Tuesday night at the 

 Grand alleys. They claim by the time 

 cold weather sets in they will be in 

 shape to beat the older club. They al- 

 so expect to send a team to New York 

 next August. The scores were as fol- 

 lows:

 Mr. Theron Parker. 



Dear Sir : Your Model Carnation 

 Support is all right in every way, and 

 will no doubt be considered as neces- 

 sary as good plants with growers when 

 better known [ consider it the best in 

 the market, and if your other specialties 

 areas good they should make another 

 addition to the money-makers of 1900. 

 Very respectfully,
