Visitors. 



One of last week's visitors was Louis 

 Hartung, who has been in the florists' 

 business at Two Eivers, Wis,, for forty 

 years. Because of the expected fuel re- 

 strictions and the belief that he is en- 

 titled to a rest after so many years of 

 service, he closed his place this autumn 

 and was on his way, with Mrs. Hartung, 

 to Atlanta, Ga., where they will spend 

 the winter. If the place of 6,000 feet 

 of glass is not sold by spring they will 

 reopen it then. Their son, Norbert E. 

 Hartung, is in France. 



S. W. Pike, of St. Charles, 111., spent 

 December 2 in the market. He has had 

 an extremely busy summer, but his look 

 of contentment is the result of the 

 knowledge that his houses are filled to 

 their capacity with stock for what he 

 believes will be the best season he ever 

 has experienced. 



Warren G. Matthews, Dayton, O., was 

 in the market early this week, buying 

 stock, and the roll of bills he employed 

 in some of his deals indicated his con- 

 tinued faith in the old saying that 

 "money talks." 



Wm.J. Hembreiker, of Hembreiker & 

 Cole, Springfield, 111., paid a visit to the 

 local market the early part of this week. 



Sam Graff, of Columbus, O., came here 

 to look the market over and left some 

 large cut flower orders. 



Edward Amerpohl, of Janesville, Wis., 

 was a visitor in the market this week. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The condition of the local wholesale 

 cut flower market last week was good or 

 bad, depending on the point of view. 

 Retailers would call it bad, as there was 

 not an overabundance of roses and car- 

 nations and prices just previous to 

 Thanksgiving were extraordinarily high. 

 For the growers, however, the market 

 was good, the returns for their stock 

 being greater than usual. Business for 

 the holiday was exceptionally good, and 

 as chrysanthemums were in larger sup-
