111., florist, was in town again last week. 

 In addition to his greenhouse work he 

 is distributor in this trade for an in- 

 secticide which has been manufactured 

 at Bloomington for a great many years. 

 He has a number of customers here. 



p. "W. Heckenkamp, the well known 

 Quincy florist, was here August 11. He 

 is an officer in a fraternal order which 

 has frequent meetings at headquarters 

 here and on the days of his visits for 

 that reason makes calls in the market. 

 Although in the trade for many years, 

 Mr. Heckenkamp never has attended an 

 S. A. F. convention. He plans to go 

 to Detroit. 



Robert Nanz, of Owensboro, Ky., has 

 returned home after spending several 

 weeks here in a successful attempt to re- 

 gain his health. He had been suffering 

 with stomach and nervous disorders. 



Misses Ida and Clara Bruenig and 

 Miss Stamm, of St. Louis, have been 

 visiting here.

The Market. 



The two principal flowers on the mar- 

 ket continue to be the aster and gladi- 

 olus. Each is of fine quality, thanks in 

 great measure to the copious rain we 

 have had of late. Asters are of excel- 

 lent size and quality, but are much more 

 abundant and are lower in price. Strictly 

 fancy flowers, however, continue to sell 

 at double the prices of former years. 

 Gladioli are nearing their flood tide and 

 move more sluggishly. Varieties like 

 Schwaben, Europa. Myrtle, Pink Per- 

 fection, Panama, Pendleton and good 

 forms of primulinus sell well. While 

 salesmen and retailers continue to buy 

 heavily of the large-flowered ganda- 

 vensis varieties, customers are demand- 

 ing more and more the graceful and 

 beautiful forms of primulinus. There 

 are few sweet peas coming in and these 

 are not of good quality. Dahlias, salpi- 

 glossis, gaillardias and a variety of out- 

 door flowers are arriving. 



Carnations are practically out of the 

 market. Roses are coming in a little 

 more freely than a week ago and the 

 absence of intense heat has improved 

 their quality. The best American Beau-

-THE TEST- 



GROWERS SHOULD STUDY the BENEFITS that are 

 derived from our NEW SERVICE of a SALES REPORT. 



A COMMERCIAL GROWER should not form his opinion 

 of a Commission House on the consignments of a day, a 

 weelc, or even a month. The FACTS and FIGURES of 

 the ACTUAL SALES PRICES for a long period should 

 be given to malie possible a true comparison. 



A GROWER, to be honest with himself and loyal to the 

 wholesaler, should look into the merits of our proposition, 

 as only upon these merits do we hope to be favored with 

 consignments.

ties sell at $4 per dozen and hybrid 

 teas at from $1 to $12 per hundred, ac- 

 cording to quality. There are some 

 Lilium auratum and L. speciosum, in ad- 

 dition to a few longiflorums. Of cat- 

 tleyas some gigas are coming in and 

 sell at $12 to $15 per dozen, with small- 

 er varieties at lower prices. There is 

 only a light demand for asparagus. Flow- 



ering plants, with the exception of a 

 few tubs of hydrangeas, are out of the 

 market and retail stores are dependent 

 on foliage plants, ferns, water lilies and 

 gladioli for decorative purposes.
