The Market. 



From reports, the month of July was 

 fairly good for business. Outside of 

 funeral work, business at this time of 

 the year is practically at a standstill. 



With August 1 came extremely hot 

 weather and the market is supplied with 

 only a limited stock of good flowers. 

 The retailers are only buying what is 

 really needed and, of course, are not 

 stocking up as in busy seasons. There 

 are a great many poor flowers at all the 

 wholesale markets, but they do not 

 tempt the retailers. 



There has been a considerable quan- 

 tity of roses coming in daily, but the 

 extreme heat of last week caused bad 

 shipments and, unless cut tight, the 

 blooms are wide open when they arrive. 

 Most of them are short-stemmed and off 

 color. The same may be said of carna- 

 tions. They are practically out of the 

 market. 



Gladioli are the flowers that have a 

 big demand daily and the fancy varie- 

 ties hold up in price, while the common 

 sorts aire sold cheap. The fancy varie- 

 ties are in the majority this season, as 

 all the local growers are having success 

 with this flower. 



A good supply of asters is arriving 

 daily, but the great bulk of them are of 

 poor quality. However, in the absence 

 of carnations, the demand for asters 

 has been large. The price for the best 

 is up to $8 per hundred. Not much of \

anything else is coming in at present. 

 A good rain is needed to revive all other 

 outdoor stock. A few consignments of 

 single tuberose stalks helped out the 

 trade. Few Easter lilies or valley are 

 seen on the market. 



In greens the trade buys quite heav- 

 ily, especially of asparagus and smilax, 

 of which the supply is equal to the de- 

 mand. 



Various Notes. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold 

 its most important meeting. of the year, 

 Thursday afternoon, August 14. The 

 feature of the meeting will be the elec- 

 tion of officers for the coming year. 

 The meeting will be held at the grounds 

 of W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., in 

 Kirkwood. Automobiles will be in wait- 



ing in the wholesale district and will 

 leave promptly at 1 o 'clock. Mr. Smith, 

 who is known as a royal entertainer, is 

 preparing for one of the largest gather- 

 ings of club members in years. 



Edward Niebling, of the Bergster- 

 mann Floral Co., made it known last 

 week that the stork left a baby girl at 

 his home recently. 



The Windier Wholesale Floral Co. 

 has enlarged its office. Joseph Krager, 

 the bookkeeper, says they needed the 

 room. The company received large 

 shipments of florists' supplies last week. 



Charles Kuehn, Jr., son of C. A. 

 Kuehn, surprised his many friends in 

 the trade when he announced that he 

 was married July 26, to Miss Mildred 

 Koenig. The happy couple are away on 

 a short honeymoon trip.
