the demand last week centered on car- 

 nations, for which high prices are asked, 

 but they seemed to clean up at that. 

 The last part of the week the price for 

 fancy grades dropped to $12.50 per hun- 

 dred, although it was expected they 

 would rise to $15 and $20 for Christ- 

 mas. Eoses, too, demand high prices. 

 It was expected there would be a good 

 supply for Christmas, although advance 

 orders were thought to be large enough 

 to clean up the market. Violets took 

 a drop last week to $1 per hundred, but 

 it was thougnt they would be around 

 $2 for the holiday. Paper Whites were 

 in demand at $10 per hundred. Valley, 

 sweet peas, Easter lilies and calendulas 

 were in excellent demand. Cut poin- 

 settias are scarce. The market is well 

 supplied with greens. 



Various Notes. 



As the date for the next meeting of 

 the St. Louis County Growers' Associa- 

 tion is January 1, it will be postponed. 

 Secretary Deutschmann will notify the 

 members of the new date. 



Frank X. Gorly, W. A. Rowe and A. S. 

 Cerny, who spent several days last week 

 in the Chicago market, have returned 

 and say that the conditions here as to 

 quality and quantity of stock are better 

 than in the Windy City. 



The St. Louis Seed Co. had an extra 

 fine lot of holly and lycopodium for 

 Christmas and cleaned it up nicely. 

 August Hummert says his company has 

 received a shipment of cabbage seed 

 from Holland. 



F. H. Weber has received word that 

 two of his former employees, Paul Heil, 

 who has been at the Great Lakes Naval 

 Training Station, Great Lakes, 111., and 

 Adolph Steidle, who trained at Camp 

 MacArthur, Waco, Tex., have received 

 their discharges and will return to their 

 former positions. He hoped they would 

 reach St. Louis in time for the Christ- 

 mas rush. 



The W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. 

 put a new Hupmobile delivery truck in 

 service last week. 



Guy Reburn, of Chicago, spent last 

 week in St. Louis calling on the trade. 

 He reports large sales of gladiolus bulbs 

 and bedding plants. 



Henry and William Meier, of Kirk- 

 wood, cut chrysanthemums up to De- 

 cember 21. They cleaned up nicely at 

 top prices.

Edward Denkor, of St. Charles, Mo., 

 was one of the large buyers of supplies 

 in the market last week. He had a good 

 crop of carnations and a large supply 

 of blooming plants for Christmas. 



John Nyflot, the Koenig Floral Co. 



and F. H. Meinhardt, whose places are 

 opposite the two big cemeteries, report 

 many orders for Christmas grave deco- 

 ration and expected an excellent Christ- 

 mas business in this line if the weather 

 continued good.
