The Florists^ Review 



Apbil 1, 1920 



sale markets, as none cared to load up 

 much. This week is showing a differ- 

 ence; at the beginning of the week the 

 wholesalers said that they had plenty 

 of orders ahead from outside points. 



Easter lilies are arriving and all mar- 

 kets will have an abundance of cut 

 stock in these at 30 cents per bloom and 

 bud. Callas will be plentiful, at about 

 the same price. 



Extra fancy sweet peas will be abun- 

 dant and not high in price; $3 per hun- 

 dred is quoted for the extra choice. Car- 

 nations should not be over $12 per hun- 

 dred for choice and down to $6 per hun- 

 dred for the inferior grades. Eoses are 

 fine and prime stock will hold up at high 

 prices; there will be plenty in all 

 grades. All other seasonable stock will 

 be sufficient for all demands. 



All kinds of greens have been scarce 

 of late, but the supply is increasing. 



Wind Storm Wreckage. 



The wind storm Sunday, March 28, 

 did much damage to property of mem- 

 bers of the trade. 



A large plate glass window, valued at 

 $700, in Grimm & Gorly's new store 

 was blown in, somewhat spoiling the 

 effect of their opening Monday, March 

 29. It was midday before the damage 

 could be repaired. 



The firebrick wall of the William J. 

 Patton Floral Co., 1300 Pine street, was 

 blown down, interfering greatly with 

 business Monday. 



Out in the county, also, considerable 

 damage was done, many of the growers 

 suffering loss in glass. 



F. J. Foster reports a heavy loss at 

 his Marcus avenue greenhouses, as sev- 

 eral dozen sashes were blown away. 



The public parks lost many fine trees, 

 especially in Forest park and Tower 

 Grove park. 



Bowling League Meets. 



The "Say It with Flowers" Bowling 

 League had a great time Wednesday 

 night, March 24, when the four teams 

 met, the Boses and Carnations fighting 

 for first place and the Sweet Peas and 

 Daisies struggling to keep out of last 

 place. The contest ended in the Car- 

 nations winning the odd game from the 

 Boses and the Sweet Peas doing the 

 same with the Daisies. 



The scores were as follows:

The Boses are still leading and the 

 Daisies are still in last place. There 

 was no bowling this week, because of 

 the Easter rush. 



Variona Notes. 



The St. Louis Florists* Club will hold 

 its next meeting April 8 in Vander- 

 voort's new music hall. The meeting 

 will be featured by prominent speakers 

 on the bond issue and a musical pro- 

 gram. Easter business will be discussed 

 and the meeting will close with refresh- 

 mentf in the tea room. The largest at- 

 tendance of the year is expected.
