A letter was received last week

 with the Quartermaster's Corps, stating 

 that he was well and expected to re- 

 turn sometime during the summer. 



Sunday was observed as flower day

The lilarket. 



Last week business at the wholesale 

 markets was fairly good, and there was 

 more stock than the demand called for 

 in the poorer grades. First-grade stock 

 had a splendid demand all through the 

 week, as there were several large wed- 

 dings and a great amount of school 

 work, which called for the better grade 

 of stock. Prices have taken a tumble, 

 and only on the extra fancy stock did 

 the prices hold at market quotations. 

 Boses are more plentiful and the in- 

 ferior grades are sold in thousand lots 

 at cheap prices, while fancy Bussell, 

 Columbia and Ophelia hold up well. 



Carnations took a slump and fairly 

 good stock was offered at $10 per thou- 

 sand. The cool nights of late have held 

 the quality up fairly well. Peonies are

still coming in small lots, but the season 

 for them is about over. Sweet peas 

 have suffered in quality, owing to the 

 dark weather and the almost daily rains. 

 Low prices prevail in these. The few 

 extra fancy alone hold up in price. 

 Gladioli are coming in heavily, and 

 these, too, came down in price. A big 

 outdoor crop will soon be in, as all local 

 growers have planted heavily this year. 

 Coreopsis, field daisies, cornflowers, 

 dephiniums, snapdragons and candytuft 

 are in heavy supply. Easter and candi- 

 dum lilies, also a few callas, are in de- 

 mand. Orchids are scarce, also good 

 valley, while the demand is heavy. Flat 

 ferns are coming in better as the sea- 

 son advances. All greens have been in 

 big demand all the week. 



Varions Notes. 



The St. Louis County Growers' Asso- 

 ciation held its monthly meeting June' 



4 at the Eleven Mile House. The meet- 

 ing was not so well attended, because of 

 the busy planting season. The newly 

 elected oflcers were installed. There 

 was a general talk on the season's busi- 

 ness, publicity and greenhouse building, 

 which was interesting throughout. The 

 date of the next meeting is July 2. 



The Knoll brothers, in the south end, 

 are making big improvements since 

 their return from the army. Herman 

 is building a large showhouse 25x100 

 at the old place, on Kansas street. 

 John is building two houses at Imperial, 

 Mo., near Kimmswick, each 25x200. 

 More new houses will be added from 

 time to time. 



Secretary J. J. Windier represented 

 the florists at a dinner at the Planters* 

 hotel, given by the convention publicity 

 bureau June 2. The dinner was given 

 for two members of each organization
