The presence of the following visitors 

 was noted last week: A. J. Bauscher, 

 Freeport, 111.; W. A. Eowe and wife, 

 St. Louis, Mo.; A. S. Cerny, St. Louis, 

 Mo.; W. J. Pilcher, St. Louis, Mo.; E. J. 

 Fancourt, Philadelphia; W. J. Smart, of 

 Knight & Struck, New York city; Vin- 

 cent Gorly, St. Louis, Mo.; A. Kinyon,

The Market. 



It is indeed gratifying to see the large 

 orders for funeral work come pouring 

 in, for the cold weather of last week 

 kept the transient trade quiet. The de- 

 mand for funeral flowers has been so 

 heavy that it had the forces of several 

 stores working almost day and night. 

 Should the call for flowers for other pur- 

 poses become heavier, the stores would 

 take on a holiday aspect, with its attend- 

 ant rush and hurry. 



We are glad to note that some of the 

 more progressive florists have increased 

 the price of carnations to $1 per dozen, 

 from 75 cents, which was the price in 

 vogue at this time last year. In view 

 of the higher cost of all supplies used 

 by florists, we think this price is neces- 

 sary in order to "live and let live." 

 In sharp contrast one or two men are 

 offering pickled stock at the ridiculous 

 price of 25 cents per dozen. 



Some splendid single violets are seen, 

 as well as mignonette of extra high 

 quality. In roses Ophelia, Killarney and 

 Eusseil at present are in public favor, 

 the prices ranging from $1.50 to $4 per 

 dozen. A few Rainbow freesias are in 

 the market and, considering the size of 

 the flowers and length of the stems, they 

 are well worth the price of the bulbs, 

 $4 per hundred. Sweet peas are increas- 

 ing in supply and the quality is the high- 

 est ever seen here. The demand for 

 peas is always steady. A scant supply 

 of lilies is quickly used in funeral work, 

 at the usual price of $3 per dozen. 



Pot plants this year are enjoying 

 greater popularity than at any former 

 time. Cyclamens, primulas and tulips 

 now always have a ready sale, which 

 certainly could not have been said of 

 them in former years.

Various Notes. 



The E. G. Reimers Co. suffered a slight 

 loss from freezing, as also did John 

 Bohrman. It was impossible to keep 

 the temperature up during such extreme- 

 ly cold weather. 



A visit to the Kirch Greenery, as 

 Louis Kirch has appropriately named 

 his establishment, found things in ex- 

 cellent shape. The crop of plumosus 

 and Sprengeri made an excellent show- 

 ing. Mr, Kirch believes in making two 

 blades grow where only one grew be- 

 fore; accordingly, he has planted sweet 

 peas among the young greens and is 

 cutting some excellent flowers. A 

 unique geranium plant, 10 years old, fur- 

 nished 600 cuttings at one time. These 

 were in the sand when the writer called. 



A visitor to the greenhouses of the 

 E. G. Reimers Co. will indeed be im- 

 pressed by the spick-and-span appear- 



ance of the place and the splendid con- 

 dition of all the stock grown there. 

 Milton Reimers, who is in charge, took 

 the course in horticulture at the State 

 University and from there went to the 

 Wilcox & Sons range at Council Bluffs, 

 la. A bench of Nebraska coming into 

 crop was a sight. There were flowers 

 four inches in diameter on 3-foot stems 

 that were straight and stiff as ramrods. 

 These flowers have sold regularly at 

 $1.50 per dozen and a number of orders 

 have been taken for cuttings. We think 

 it is a fitting answer to the question, 

 "Do novelties pay?" 



A batch of 1,000 carnation cuttings, 

 just ready to be taken out, was noted 

 at the F. Walker Co. houses. This firm 

 intends to increase its planting of this 

 flower next season. 



Henry Fuchs suffered the loss of his 

 smokestack during the heavy wind.
