Beacon. Some extra fine cattleyas and 

 cypripediums are in the market. The 

 cattleyas bring $7.50 per dozen. Bulb- 

 ous stock is coming in finely. Callas and 

 Easter lilies had a big demand. Tulips 

 and jonquils sold well at $3 to $4 per 

 hundred. Valley is extremely scarce in 

 this market. Fancy Spencer sweet peas 

 clean up weM, but the common varieties 

 drag. Asparagus is becoming scarce. 

 Smilax, galax and flat ferns are in good 

 demand at the usual prices. 



Various Notes. 



St. Louis was visited by a freak hail 

 storm February 19. One and one-quar- 

 ter inches of hail fell, and the pellets 

 were quite large in some sections. From 

 what I can learn this early, the Kirk- 

 wood growers escaped damage, as the 

 stones were too small in that section to 

 do any harm. John Bentzen is said to 

 have lost 1,000 panes of glass; the 

 Young Bros. Floral Co., 150 lights; John 

 Nyflot, 500, and John Shields, 300. The 

 weather bureau said the storm was un- 

 usual for February. Light hail storms 

 are not uncommon during the winter 

 months, but the heavy fall February 19 

 was remarkable. 



The St. Louis Aquarium Society held 

 a meeting last week and accepted the 

 invitation to exhibit fishes in connec- 

 tion with the spring flower show at the 

 First Eegiment armory, March 15 to 18. 

 George H. Bring, orchid expert at the 

 Missouri Botanical Garden, was present 

 and lectured on "Native Aquatic 

 Plants." John P Woods, state fish com- 

 missioner, spoke on the "Food Value of 

 Fish." 



Grimm & Gorly furnished the deco- 

 rations for the biggest wedding of the 

 season. Several thousand Ophelia roses 

 and white lilacs were used. 



The Missouri State Horticultural So- 

 ciety has named the crab apple blossom 

 as the state flower. H. C. Irish, presi- 

 dent of the society, says a bill was in- 

 troduced in the Missouri assembly nam- 

 ing this blossom as the state flower. 



Arthur Endicott, 20 years of age, an 

 employee in the greenhouses of the Mis- 

 souri Botanical Garden, was killed re- 

 cently by an automobile. Young Endi- 

 cott had his overcoat collar over his ears 

 to keep out the wind and failed to hear
