ST. LOUIS. 



The lilarket. 



The St. Louis wholesale market en- 

 joyed more than usual activity last 

 week. All items were in demand, and 

 good prices were paid for choice stock. 

 "The fall season is on and optimistic 

 reports are the rule from the retailers. 

 Society has opened its doors for its 

 many affairs and that helps to make 

 trade lively with the florists. 



Eoses last week were plentiful, but 

 they did not move so well as those of 

 the week previous. The market was 

 cleaned up well daily^ but at lower 

 prices. Carnations as yet are scarce 

 and the good demand works hardships. 

 The average price at present is $3 per 

 hundred. Mums are arriving now and 

 soon will be side-tracking other flowers 

 for a month or so. Some of the early 

 varieties, such as Smith's Advance, 

 Glory of Pacific and early yellows, 

 have been in robust demand during the 

 week, at 12^^ cents each. 



Cosmos were a great glut last week 

 and low prices prevailed. Dahlias, too, 

 were overplentiful until the frost 

 nipped them. However, quite a num- 

 ber of them continue to arrive and sell 

 well. There still are many cornflowers 

 and calendulas to be had. Valley is 

 scarce and the demand holds it up to 

 $5 per hundred. Easter lilies also are 

 in vigorous demand, but not many ar- 

 rive at present. Violets are in evidence 

 and bring 35 cents per hundred.

St. Louis Eetail Florists* Association 

 attended in a body as guests of the 

 new company. The members arrived 

 early and inspected the new establish- 

 ment, which was pronounced one of the 

 most up-to-date wholesale cut flower 

 and supply houses in the west. 



The meeting was called to order by 

 President Bourdet at 2 o'clock, with 

 all oflScers present. After the prelimi- 

 naries the chair called on committees 

 for reports. The holding of the 1918 

 National Flower Show in St. iLouis 

 then came up for discussion and this 

 took up most of the afternoon. D. S. 

 Geddis, who is responsible for the 

 show's coming to St. Louis, spoke en- 

 thusiastically of the show and told the 

 members what he saw at the show held 

 in Philadelphia. He urged the mem- 

 bers to put forth their best efforts to

 mann took an opposite view of the 

 matter and said the times were not 

 ripe for such a big undertaking by th© 

 local trade. After a lengthy discus- 

 sion by the members, it was decided 

 by full vote that the local florists as- 

 sist the National Flower Show committee-
