The florists here, especially on the 

 west side and downtown, are making 

 special window displays for St. Valen- 

 tine's day. Judging by advance orders, 

 they look for the best St. Valentine's 

 day business in years. 



There are many meetings of trade or- 

 ganizations this week, among them the 

 Retail Florists' Association, February 

 10; the County Growers, February 12; 

 the St. Louis Association of Gardeners, 

 February 12, and the St. Louis Florists' 

 Club, February 13. J. J. B.

The Market. 



Business throughout this locality con- 

 tinues quiet. The mainstay now is 

 funeral work, but occasionally there are 

 small orders for social affairs. The 

 springlike weather continues. There has 

 been no snow for nearly a month, but, 

 with cold nights, there is little chance 

 for the frost to get out of the ground. 

 So far this month there has been more 

 sun recorded than for several years past 

 and in many cases ney grass is seen on 

 the lawns and crocuses are in bloom. 



The market seems to be running un- 

 evenly so far as the supply of carna- 

 tions is concerned. Some days there are 

 scarcely any to be found, while at other 

 times there are quantities, of good qual- 

 ity and lower in price. Red varieties 

 are plentiful, but the demand for them 

 is not large. The supply of spring 

 flowers is adequate to the present de- 

 mand and consists of jonquils. Paper 

 White narcissi, Roman hyacinths, 

 freesia and tulips. These sell in prefer- 

 ence to other flowers, as they are more 

 reasonable in price. The market is well 

 supplied with pussy willows, for which 

 the demand is fair. It is gratifying to 

 see a larger supply of sweet peas reach- 

 ing the market. They are of different 

 grades and sell well for all purposes at 

 good figures. Good stock is seen in 

 many shades and is useful for basket 

 arrangements. The demand for callas 

 holds up well, but the supply of Easter 

 lilies is not large. The bright weather 

 is bringing larger shipments of roses 

 into the market, but the prices continue 

 above normal. Excellent stock is seen

in White Killarney, Shawyer, Septem- 

 ber Morn, Prima Donna, Sunburst, the 

 Wards, Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty. 

 The supply of American Beauties is not 

 large. Valley is seen, but not in quan- 

 tity. Pink snapdragon is in short sup- 

 ply. There are a few calendulas in the 

 market and they sell well, as do small 

 supplies of cut lilac. Marguerites sell 

 nicely. Mignonette is not plentiful. 

 Cypripediums and cattleyas are in good 

 supply, but the demand is light. The 

 stores are well stocked daily with a good 

 assortment of potted plants, consisting 

 of hyacinths, daffodils, cinerarias, wall- 

 flowers, cyclamens, primulas, tulips and 



Primula malacoides, all of which sell 

 readily.
