Flower Market Reports 



{Continued from page 2i) 



Trade has been rather 

 NEW YORK fluctuating since last 



report, some days de- 

 Teloping a very pleasing activity in 

 the morning hours and others charac- 

 terized by the well-recognized symp- 

 toms of summer lethargy. Altogether, 

 while there has been considerable com- 

 plaining of the dullness of trade, we 

 think the month of June has sized up 

 fairly well as compared with other 

 Junes in the past. The quality of stock 

 being received is as good as, if not 

 better than, we have been accustomed 

 to see at this season of the year. The 

 roses grown for summer blooming are 

 producing freely and those from the 

 ■winter houses are rapidly falling oft 

 in quantity daily as one house after 

 another is cleared out. Sweet peas are 

 coming in abundantly and peonies are 

 about finished. Nympheas plentiful. 

 Orchids rather short in supply.

OBITUARY. 



George R. Wheeldon. 

 The death of George R. Wheeldon, 

 on June 25, was learned with regret 

 by the trade in general. "Old Derby," 

 as he was called, was a familiar char- 

 acter for more than twenty years in 

 the down town district of Chicago, and 

 while his business methods were hum- 

 ble he was honest and his face will 

 be missed. While returning home 

 after selling all his flowers save one 

 rose, he was struck by a street car at 

 Indiana avanue and Harrison street 

 and instantly killed. One year ago he 

 had a similar experience of a less 

 serious nature. "Derby" was an Eng- 

 lishman and spcke with a strong cock- 

 ney accent and would not speak of 

 himself to even his best friends. His 

 love of flowers was a passion with him 

 and his casket was covered with them. 

 .\o relations claimed his body and a 

 committee of florists with A. Lange as 

 chairman, took charge of the funeral, 

 which was held at Rolston's undertak- 

 ing parlors. Quantities of flowers 

 were sent there and he was carried 

 away among the blossoms which meant 

 more to him than a mere support. 



M. D. Jones. 

 Melville D. Jones, well-known as a 

 dealer in iron vases, trellises, jardi- 

 nieres and similar goods in Boston for 

 many years, died suddenly of heart dis- 

 ease on June 22, while on a Boston & 

 Maine train on which he was going to 

 his home in Somerville. Mr. Jones 

 was born in Boston in 1S42. He served 

 in the .5th Mass. Regiment in 1S61 and 

 1862. He leaves a widow, three sons 

 and a daughter. 



Bernard G. Schramm. 



Bernard G. Schramm of the florist 

 Arm of Schramm Bros., Toledo, O., 

 died Friday afternoon, June 24th, at 

 his home, 1S16 George street. 



ST. LOUIS PERSONALS. 



Walter Young and James Avata, of 

 Young's staff of employees, have taken 

 a week's vacation with a fishing party. 



E. Henchel, florist of Webster 

 Groves, is making a summer trip to 

 his home in Germany. He will be 

 back early in September. 



The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral 

 Co. has leased the entire five floors of 

 their building at 1316 Pine street. All 

 will be used for supplies. 



August Eggert, florist of East St. 

 Louis, lost his sister last week, she 

 being sick only a short time and hav- 

 ing come to this country but recently. 



Robert Greber a florist in Clayton, 

 lost his wife last week. The funeral 

 took place on Sunday, June 26. Mrs. 

 Greber was well known in the trade, 

 which extends sincere sympathy. 



A. W. Schisler, Fred S. Plant and 

 Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Cornell, local 

 seedsmen who attended the American 

 Seed Trade Association, last week, at 

 Atlantic City, have returned home and 

 say they all had a good time. 



J. H. Dayton, of Painsville, Ohio, and 

 Thomas B. Meehan, of Philadelphia, 

 spent a day in the city last week and 

 were shown around by Frank Weber. 

 Both gentlemen had attended the Nur- 

 serymen's convention at Denver, and 

 were on their way home. 



President Stark, of the American 

 Association of Nurserymen, has al- 

 ready made two good appointments 

 for next year's convention by the re- 

 appointment of Frank A. Weber as 

 chairman of the entertainment com- 

 mittee and J. W. Schuette chairman of 

 the committees of exhibits. Both are 

 local nurserymen and are hustlers.
