ciety, was rejected by the Missouri 

 house of representatives at Jefferson 

 City, Mo., last week. The names of a 

 number of other flowers were presented, 

 but all were voted down. 



Otto Sander's store on Seventh street 

 attracted a lot of attention last week 

 with its pretty window display of sea- 

 sonable bulbous stock. He reports tran- 

 sient trade as being large all the week. 



The County Growers' Association did 

 not hold its monthly meeting February 

 26, as stated in my notes last week. The 

 date should have read March 5, the 

 first Wednesday in each month being 

 the regular meeting date. 



The consignments of the W. A. Rowe 

 Co. to the Windier Wholesale Floral Co. 

 last week were of extra fine quality in 

 all seasonable bulbous stock, carnations 

 and sweet peas. The Bowe establish- 

 ment is one of the largest in Kirkwood. 



At the Missouri Botanical Garden a 

 number of interesting plants are now in 

 full bloom in the various conservatories. 

 One of the leading attractions now is 

 the false holly, Chorizema ilieifolium, 

 with its showy masses of orange-red, 

 pea-shaped fiowers. Corporal C. L. 

 Moody, who has been at Gamp Devens, 

 Mass., for the last year, has been dis- 

 charged from the army and is now back 

 at the garden, filling his former posi- 

 tion as foreman of outdoor gardens.

The Market. 



The last two weeks have been colder 

 than we had any reason to expect after 

 the unusually warm winter. February 

 went out with a bluster and cold enough 

 to freeze the ground an inch or two. 

 Of course this delays outdoor stock and 

 is for the good of the trade. Daffodils 

 are growing rather scarce and will con- 

 tinue to be so till more of the outdoor 

 flowers open. There are a few in pro- 

 tected places, but they have not ap- 

 peared on the market as yet. Hyacinths 

 ape begiBli^ng to be fairly plentiful, 

 both in pots and cut. While we have 

 seen some good hyacinths, on the whole 

 they are not up to their ordinary qual- 

 ify. It is evident that they were not

 land last year as usual. Few Soleil 

 d 'Or narcissi reached this town last year 

 and no Soman hyacinths. The former 

 are all gone. In normal times they are 

 one of the most popular flowers in this 

 market at this season. 



There are unusually good cinerarias 

 on the market just now and it seems as 

 though the trade went in more heavily 

 for primulas than usual. .They are sellr.

We have seen few freesias thus far 

 and sweet peas are just beginning to 

 be plentiful. Violets are scarce and 

 have been all winter. Carnations have 



done their best to make up for all de- 

 ficiencies. Boses are coming more free- 

 ly again. In fact, the last ten days have 

 been the first time in months when there 

 were all the flowers that could be sold, 

 with a few to spare. Never before 

 have so many calendulas been grown 

 here and they have been decidedly 

 popular.
