The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



MARCH 24, 1898. 



ST. LOUIS. 



Supply and Demand. 



Stock is decidedly more plenty, and 

 although as yet no actual glut, except 

 in violets and bulb stock. The down 

 town corners are lined with fakirs. 

 Some of them are quite heavy buyers, 

 and as a rule are given a lot of stuff 

 not otherwise salable. There is, of 

 course, more or less cutting of prices 

 under these conditions among the 

 down town stores. 



The regular quotations on first-class 

 stock in roses, such as Brides, Brides- 

 maids, Meteors and Carnots, are from 

 |4 to $G, and the smaller varieties, 

 Perles and Woottons, are $2 and ?3; 

 job lots at thousand rates are going at 

 much less. Beauties, really first-class 

 stock, are very scarce, and brin.g ?4 

 per dozen; good short-stemmed Beau- 

 ties are offered at from CO cents to $2 

 per dozen. 



The supply of carnations is heavy 

 just at present. All varieties go at from 

 $1.50 to $2. some extra fine fancy bring- 

 ing $3. The demand for this flower 

 has been steady, and at present very 

 heavy, but there is no great accumu- 

 lation of surplus stock. 



Bulbous stock is still very plentiful, 

 with price away down. Harrisii and 

 callas are selling at |G and ?S; Ro- 

 mans, $1 and $2; tulips. $2 and $3; 

 daffodils. $2; valley. $2; Dutch hya- 

 cinths, $2 and $3; freesia, $1; sweet 

 peas, very fine, $1.50. Violets, Califor- 

 nia, 25 and 30 cents; common, single, 

 8 cents; southern stock is unsalable in 

 this market just now. Smilax plenti- 

 ful at 15 cents; asparagus. 35 and 50 

 cents per string. 



Personals.

 that he had a great time, and will 

 make strenuous efforts to make the 

 next meeting at Omaha a great suc- 

 cess.
