The Market. 



Throughout the week the wholesale 

 market has been active, with increas- 

 ing supplies arriving and good demand. 

 Shipping business also was exception- 

 ally good. 



Select Bussell and Columbia roses 

 made $35 per hundred and Ophelia, $20. 

 These varieties have the call. The Kil- 

 larneys are not in oversupply and the 

 demand is for short-stemmed stock. 

 The bright weather has brought the 

 carnations out faster than was expected. 

 All fancy stock brought $8 per hundred, 

 while the lower grades realized from $4 

 to $6. The demand cleaned up all the 

 good stock daily. There was a big sup- 

 ply of sweet peas of all grades and the 

 price was forced down as low as $7.50 

 per thousand for fancy, long-stemmed 

 stock, while inferior grades were down 

 to $5. Violets, too, suffered, owing to 

 heavy arrivals, but none sold lower than 

 $5 per thousand. A great crop is ex- 

 pected for the next two weeks and 

 especially for St. Valentine 's day, when 

 violets are the one flower most sought 

 after. 



Bulbous stock is coming in large sup- 

 ply and Paper Whites have suffered a 

 cut to $3 per hundred. Extra fine lilies 

 were consigned to this market last 

 week. They brought $20 per hundred. 

 Tulips are beginning to arrive, but not, 

 as yet, in large lots. Freesia of fine 

 quality is abundant. Callas and valley 

 sell well, also cattleyas. The market 

 affords a splendid supply of calendulas 

 and mignonette. In greens, flat ferns 

 have been scarce, while there is plenty 

 of galax, asparagus, leucothoe and smi- 

 lax. 



Club Meetings. 



The Eetail Florists' Association held 

 its regular meeting January 27, with a 

 large attendance. Owing to the ab- 

 sence of President Windier and Secre- 

 tary F. C. Weber, Jr., little business 

 could be transacted. The most import- 

 ant business was laid over for the next 

 meeting which takes place February 

 10, at which a good attendance is looked 

 for. 



The meeting of the County Growers' 

 Association set for February 5 and that 

 of the St. Louis Association of Garden- 

 ers, for the same date, were postponed,

Various Notes. 



C. Young & Sons Co. have had a big 

 week in funeral work. Several large 

 designs, "Billy" Dee stated, were tele- 

 graph orders from the east. Charles 

 Young, head of the; firm, has just re- 

 turned from a trip through the western 

 part of Missouri. 



The many friends of Henry Ostertag 

 were glad to see him in the wholesale 

 district last week, fully recovered.
