fetch 75 cents to $1 per dozen, while 

 Easter lilies are practically out of the 

 market. Sweet peas are coming in 

 slowly. There are a few violets, snap- 

 dragons, calendulas, pansies, stevia, 

 bouvardia and mignonette in the market. 

 Green goods are scarce. 



The pot plant market affords ferns, 

 Jerusalem cherries, cyclamens, mums 

 and Chatelaine begonias. 



Various Notes. 



H. Both, of Lafayette, is shipping 

 good roses to this market, especially 

 Columbia, and is also sending good 

 bouvardia. 



The H. W. Bieman Sons Co. is closed 

 on account of the "flu" in the family. 

 The entire staff is ill. 



E. E. Temperley, wife and daughter, 

 are spending a few days in Terre Haute, 

 visiting Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Eppert, of 

 Davis Gardens, Mrs. Temperley 's 

 parents. 



Bertermann Bros. Co. and A. Wie- 

 gand's Sons Co. are displaying Thanks- 

 giving windows worthy of mention, and 

 John Bieman 's window for this week 

 outdoes his windows of the past.

The Market. 



The wholesale market during the last 

 week was not in so good a condition as 

 usual at this time of the year. Sunless 

 days caused a shortage of all seasonable 

 flowers. 



In anticipation of Thanksgiving, 

 prices advanced. That there will be a 

 great demand is shown by the many 

 advance orders that have been placed 

 with the wholesalers. 



Last week we noticed a greatly de- 

 creased supply in all varieties of mums, 

 but no doubt many growers were hold- 

 ing them back for this week, which will 

 about see the end of the mum season. 



Eoses are fine, but not plentiful 

 enough to supply the demand. Carna- 

 tions are slow in coming into crop this 

 season. Sweet peas and violets are 

 scarce. Easter lilies are more plentiful 

 and the shortage of other stock caused 

 a large demand for them. Stevia sells 

 well. Everything in greens moves 

 steadily.

Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 meeting November 21 at the Missouri 

 Botanical Garden. About thirty mem- 

 bers attended. The report of the pub- 

 licity committee, through Chairman 



Bourdet, brought out a lively discussion. 

 Julius Schaeflfer and Chas. L. Connon 

 made application for membership. 

 Luther Armstrong exhibited a vase of 

 his new chrysanthemum, Margie Arm- 

 strong. It was decided that the next 

 meeting be a Victory meeting and that
