Tlie Sfarket. 



The demand at the various wholesale 

 markets kept up fairly well 'last week, 

 as there were still a number of weddings 

 and a great deal of funeral work, which 

 kept the retailers busy. But from now 

 on little business is expected outside of 

 funeral work and the majority of florists 

 have started house-cleaning. The season 

 just closed, judging from reports of 

 some of the leading members of the 

 trade, was the best in many years and 

 the prospects are good for the coming 

 season. 



The wholesale market is greatly over- 

 crowded with gladiolus spikes, as nearly 

 every consignor to this market seems 

 to have planted gladioli heavily this 

 year. All varieties are in good supply, 

 but the price in big lots has been cut 

 to $20 per thousand and only the extra 

 fancy stock brings a good price, which 

 stops at 8 cents. While the demand 

 is heavy, it is not sufficient to consume 

 the daily supply. Roses sadly feel the 

 effects of the hot weather and the 

 extra fancy grades are extremely scarce. 

 Shipped-in stock arrives wide open, 

 while our local growers must cut the 

 blooms in tight bud, as they open fast

 Carnations, too, ship poorly. They are 

 in large supply, but the flowers are 

 small and are defective in color. Valley, 

 orchids and lilies are scarce, white 

 daisies, cornflowers, gypsophilas and 

 gaillardias are plentiful. Greens are 

 still in big demand and almost any kind 

 of greens sells in this market. 



^ Various Notes. 



The St. Louis Association of Garden- 

 ers held an interesting meeting July 6 at 

 the Municipal Nurseries, near the Chain 

 of Rocks. The members of the associa- 

 tion thus had an opportunity to see 

 how the park department grows its 

 necessary supply of trees and shrubs. 

 The attendance was large. After an in-

spection of the nursery, the meeting was 

 held on the grounds and was interesting 

 throughout. President L. P. Jensen 

 had charge of the meeting and was 

 greatly encouraged by the interest 

 shown by the members. 



The St. Louis County Growers' Asso- 

 ciation held an interesting summer 

 meeting at the Eleven Mile House, July 

 2. President-elect Meier took the chair. 

 There was general discussion of the 

 season's business and all declared that 

 the season was one of the best in their 

 experience. The 8. A. F. convention 

 also came under consideration. Any 

 members who contemplate attending 

 the convention should make their pur- 

 pose known to W. J. Pilcher, state vice- 

 president of the 8. A. F. for eastern
