FLORISTS' REFRIGERATORS will display your flowers in 

 an attractive manner and keep them in perfect condition. In 

 Brecht's Refrigerators there is always a STRONG CIRCULA- 

 TION OF DRY, COLD AIR. We build them of oak, or any other 

 wood, highly finished and thoroughly insulated. All hardware 

 is of brass, quadruple nickel-plated. The best of French beveled 

 plate glass used for mirrors and windows.

The Market. 



Business this week surpassed that of 

 last week, despite the scarcity of stock. 

 The present indications are that roses 

 of good quality will not be overplentiful 

 at Christmas. Carnations will be more 

 abundant and will not bring the high 

 prices of previous years, white and col- 

 ors other than red now bringing $5 and 

 $6, and red selling at $7 and $8. Poin- 

 settias of good quality are making their 

 appearance and the prospects are that 

 they will be plentiful, with prices rang- 

 ing from $1.50 to $5 per dozen. Smaller 

 flowers, such as violets and sweet peas, 

 will surpass last year's supply. The 

 quality and prices of valley and orchids 

 will be about the same as in previous 

 holiday seasons. 



The demand for holly, evergreens and 

 Christmas trees has been unusually 

 large, but this branch of the business is 

 fast slipping from the florists, as every 

 corner grocery handles trees and 

 wreaths. Fancy wreaths for holiday 

 purposes arrive and are used by the flo- 

 rists in place of holly. These are made 

 of magnolia leaves festooned with thistle, 

 red berries, teasel, red ruscus and im- 

 mortelles. 



Various Notes, 



A. F. .T. Baur attended the St. Louis 

 Florists' Club's meeting last week and 

 took with him his new carnation, Merry 

 Christmas, which scored eighty-nine 

 points. He is at present sending out 

 premium lists for the carnation show 

 and anyone desiring any information 

 with reference to the show should ad- 

 dress Secretary Baur. All entries for 

 the show must bo in by January 21. 



Robert Glaubkc is the proud father 

 of a baby girl. 



Several shipments of fancy -plants 

 have been received from the east in a 

 frozen condition. 



The local branch of the Weather Bu- 

 reau now is sending out daily notices 

 of weather conditions, which are posted

in the downtown flower stores and com-

The Holland bulbs now are coming 

 into bloom, but with little profit for 

 the growers, because of their high price, 

 lateness and poor percentage of good 

 flowers. 



The coal shortage is being felt again 

 in this locality. Also a shortage of pots, 

 even at an advance of twenty per cent. 

 A. Wiegand's Sons Co. had a

 will have to do without Manetti stock.
