St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower Co., 



1410 Pine Street, 

 ST. LOUIS, MO. 



the stores was reported excellent. Ship- 

 ping trade from outside points, with the 

 local demand, cleaned up daily receipts 

 except violets and sweet peas, which 

 have been coming in heavy supply all 

 the week. The retailers say that since 

 prices have become normal again, the 

 cut flower business has gone back to its 

 proper proportions. 



Boses have increased in supply, but 

 the demand absorbs the daily consign- 

 ments. Bussell, Columbia, Ophelia and 

 Stanley have the call in the fancy 

 grades. Short-stemmed roses are in 

 large demand, but only a few come in. 

 Carnations have been off crop, but are 



beginning to arrive and large receipts 

 are expected by the end of the week. 

 Enchantress has been the best seller all 

 the season, but the reds have dragged. 

 Bulbous stock is coming in larger sup- 

 ply as the days go by. Last week saw 

 a busier market in Paper Whites, lilies, 

 freesias, Bomans and valley than for 

 some time. Sweet peas are coming and 

 the large arrivals have caused the prices 

 to fall to 75 cents and $1 per hun- 

 dred. Violets are arriving in quantities 

 in excess of requirements and prices ac- 

 cordingly have been cut to $5 and $7.50 

 per thousand. 



There is a good supply of greens to 

 meet the large demand. 



Various Notes. 



The publicity committee of the Flo- 

 rists ' Club held an important meeting 

 January 21 at headquarters, which was 

 called to talk over advertising for St. 

 Valentine's day. It was well attended 

 and considerable space was contracted 

 for in the daily papers for February 9 

 and 11, 



The St. Louis County Growers ' Asso- 

 ciation doubtless will call off its meet- 

 ing scheduled for February 5, as its date 

 conflicts with that of the florists' Vic- 

 tory banquet, which the growers will 

 attend in a body.
