The Market. 



Last week was festival week and a 

 great deal of activity was shown by the 

 retailers in all parts of the city. There 

 was a brisk demand and prices went 

 up a few points on all first quality 

 rluck. There was a large demand Octo- 

 ber 7 for orchids and valley and some 

 splendid shipments were seen that day. 

 Orchids brought $15 per dozen and val- 

 ley $18 per hundred. The market 

 cleaned up well at these prices. 



Colder weather is needed to stimulate 

 business to a steady activity. Mums 

 have been in steady demand and 

 the market cleans up early each day 

 a large cut is expected to come in this 

 week from our local growers. Smith's 

 Advance, October Frost, Glory of Pa- 

 cific, Golden Glow and Pollv Rose should 

 arrive in large quantities this week. 

 Ihere is a splendid crop of roses com- 

 ing in daily and they also clean up 

 early. Eusscll, Premier, Ophelia and 

 Co umbia have a big demand. White 

 KiiJarneys have a heavy call. Carna- 

 tions at last show signs of coming into 

 their own and some stock of especially 



^"."i.'^f ^^ 'u ''''^ ^° ^« ^^ad in this 

 market Enchantress, Nebraska, Bea- 

 con and Ward have the call. Lilies are 

 scarce here, but some fine orchids and 

 valley were on sale last week, with a 

 heavy demand. 



There are plenty of fine dahlias to 

 be had now and the demand for these 

 has been heavy. Asters and gladioli 

 are out for the season, except for a few 

 stragglers. There was also a heavy cut 

 of cosmos and tuberoses last week, but 

 these will not last long. The recent 

 cold weather has improved the quality 

 of violets coming to this market; a bum- 

 per crop is expected. 



In groons the market affords plenty 

 of ferns and asparagus. Good smilax 

 has a demand, but is scarce. The de- 

 mand for all greens has been heavy.

Club Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held October 9 on the grounds 

 of Philip Goebel's range in Webster 

 Groves, Mo. Fifty members took ad- 

 vantage of the beautiful afternoon and 

 attended the meeting, at the same time 

 viewing a most up-to-date greenhouse 

 establishment, consisting of 31,000 

 square feet of glass under which are 

 grown carnations, chrysanthemums, 

 sweet peas and bulbous stock of all 

 kinds. Two large new houses were 

 added this summer and are planted in 

 carnations. 



After the members had inspected the 

 range and pronounced it in tiptop shape 

 for the coming season, President Hum- 

 mert called the meeting to order in the 

 big packing liouse. The usual pre-
