Let's Look ^ at it From the Dollar Viewpoint 



That's the only way you're apt to look at 

 the purchase of your boxwood sprays this 

 season. It isn't a "sentiment" proposition. 

 It's just cold business. 

 These are just the things you want: Good 

 merchantable boxwood, clean Virginia sprays; 

 no heavy wood and 16 ounces to a pound. 



We have it and can make delivery to you at $7.50 per 50 pounds. 



We want your order this fall.

and Touset are the best chrysanthemums 

 now arriving. 



Eoses are arriving in quantities, with 

 the demand not so heavy owing to the 

 presence of mums. Eussells, Ophelias, 

 Wards, Sunbursts and Eichmonds are 

 excellent, as are the Killarneys. Im- 

 proved quality kept the prices up, but the 

 lower grades brought less than a week 

 ago. The best of the violets clear daily 

 at fair prices. Carnations are up in 

 price and the quality is good. All the 

 Enchantress varieties are in better de- 

 mand than the others. White and light 

 pink carnaions sell well, while red and 

 dark pink find little demand. Orchids, 

 valley and lilies arrive daily, but are 

 not in oversupply by any means. Fancy 

 valley brings $8 per hundred. All kinds 

 of greens are in demand, especially smi- 

 lax and asparagus. 



Association Meeting. 



The St. Louis Eetail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation held its monthly meeting Octo- 

 ber 15 at Knights of Columbus hall. 

 The attendance was large and the meet- 

 ing interesting. President F. H. Weber 

 presided. There was a warm discussion 

 of a proposal to amend the by-laws so 

 that the annual dues should be increased 

 from $5 to $10 per year. When the 

 question was put to a vote, it was de- 

 cided by a large majority to retain the 

 present dues. 



Members of the association who at- 

 tended the F. T. D. convention at De- 

 troit were called upon and gave inter- 

 esting accounts of the discussions and 

 ideas presented at the meeting. As a 

 result District Eepresentative Fred C. 

 Weber, Jr., said he expects that several 

 members of the association will become 

 members of the F. T. D. 



Secretary Eichard Tubbesing re- 

 ported that the association is in good 

 condition financially, and it is expected 

 that the membership will be increased. 

 "Our association is doing a great deal 

 of good for the retailers, as at nearly 

 every meeting something is brought up 

 that is damajTjing to us and we act to 

 stamp out the evil," he said. "Ee- 

 tailers who are not members of the as- 

 sociation are receiving the benefits of 

 our work, and it is up to them to come 

 in with us and make the association 100 

 strong. This is the aim of the mem-
