took in the wholesale district and was 

 much impressed with the work in the 

 trade here. 



A new firm recently was organized 

 here, to be known as the Monroe-Gold- 

 kamp Co., Custom Brokers. C. L. Mon- 

 roe and J. F, Goldkami) were formerly 

 with the Wymah Co., customhouse 

 brokers. Mr. Goldkamp is well known 

 among the local florists, for whom he 

 attends to foreign shipments. 



Fred W. Ude, Jr., & Sons, of Kirk- 

 wood, Mo., are cutting a fine lot of 

 chrysanthemums this season. After the 

 mum season this firm will consign to 

 this market a fine lot of violets and 

 Bweet peas. 



The many friends of Martin Lech- 

 ner, of Lechner Bros., bulb importers, 

 will be pleased to learn that Mr. Lech- 

 ner is improving rapidly after his long 

 spell of sickness at the Frico hospital. 



Grimm & Gorly, the Mullanphy Flo- 

 rists, Fred Foster and the Riessen 

 Floral Co., leading downtown florists, 

 report a splendid business week. 



Count von Hoffman, manager at 

 George Waldbart's, says business was 

 good last week, with plenty of good 

 society work. Fred Michel, designer, 

 has been working overtime since the 

 season opened. 



The Lady Florists' Home Circle 

 spent a most pleasant afternoon at the 

 home of Mrs. Emil Schray October 11. 

 Mrs. George Windier will entertain the 

 circle at her home next month. 



Emmett McDonald, of Overland, Mo., 

 is consigning to the St. Louis market 

 a fine lot of dahlias and a great cut 

 of Lady Lenox cosmos. His cut of 

 mums will begin this week. 



Paul Scheider, of Clayton, Mo., has 

 a fine lot of pompon mums, which will 

 be ready for cutting this week. This 

 stock is in large demand by the local 

 buyers. 



We had many visitors last week. 

 Besides the members of the National 

 Flower Show committee, there were 

 Julius Dilloflf, of Schloss Bros., New 

 York; S. Freund, of the Duroc Paper 

 Products Co., Chicago; M. F. Widmer, 

 of Highland Park, HI.; George Mad- 

 sen, of Alton, HI.; Charles Johann, of

The lilarket. 



Chrysanthemums have so far held 

 their own in the day's sales, but they 

 are becoming more plentiful and the 

 price is dropping rapidly. Flowers that 

 had been bringing from $1.50 to $2 p^r 

 dozen could be bought late last week 

 at $6 and $8 per hundred, and this is 

 by no 'means the lowest level to which

 Frost and Pacific Supreme still rule 

 the market. Among the newcomers is 

 Polly Eose. 



There has been a slight improvement 

 in the quality of roses, noticeable par- 

 ticularly in Ophelia and Hadley. Good 

 white roses still are scarce, but there 

 now are more of these in grades below 

 the best. Among these latter Double 

 White Killarney is the best, and there 

 are some fine Kaiserin to be had. 

 American Beauty roses are bringing up 

 to $4 per dozen and these have met 

 with a good sale of late. 



Carnations still are scarce. There is 

 a fair demand for such as are received
