The Rorists' Review 



JULr 20, 1916. 



MIchell's Winter-flowering 

 Spencer Sweet Peas 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Trade was quiet last week, but there 

 was not sufficient fancy stock for even 

 80 small a demand. In retail circles it 

 was a dull week and the only work was 

 for funerals. The weather, too, was hot 

 and stock was in poor condition. Espe- 

 cially was this true of roses. Eussells 

 were among the best that arrived. Car- 

 nations are becoming extremely poor in 

 quality, especially home-grown stock. 

 The supply of gladioli was the fea- 

 ture of the market last week. The 

 stock was extra good and plenti- 

 ful. Wholesalers found it difficult to 

 dispose of the large quantity. Asters, as 

 yet, do not make much of a showing, 

 but will soon arrive in large quantities. 

 Easter lilies are the mainstay of the 

 market when white flowers are needed. 

 The demand for valley and orchids has 

 fallen away and the light supply seems 

 abundant for present needs. Sweet peas 

 are few these hot days, but outdoor 

 peas will soon be a factor in this mar- 

 ket. A lot of common outdoor flowers 

 are arriving daily and meet with a poor 

 demand. Prices are low in all grades. 

 Green goods are in excellent demand. 



Club Meeting. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club held an- 

 other of its delightful outdoor meetings 

 July 1^, ai the establishment of the 

 Bourdet Floral Co., Magnolia and Tower 

 Grove avenues. It was largely attended. 

 President Bourdet called the meeting to 

 order, with all officers present. 



After the usual preliminaries, Chair-
