The Market. 



At the wholesale markets last week 

 things were exceedingly dull, especially 

 after the §arly morning sales were over. 

 There is^ great scarcity of good flow- 

 ers. Th4 dry weather has greatly cut 

 down the outdoor flowers and it is just as 

 well, as the demand during the last week 

 was slow. 



There was really no active demand for 

 any one kind of flowers, except gladioli, 

 and these are not overplentiful, as is 

 customary at this time of the year. The 

 fancy varieties in these clean up almost 

 daily at stiff prices. 



Carnations seem almost out of the 

 market, as all of our local florists are 

 planting young stock. However, there 

 are large quantities of asters coming in 

 from out of town. Those of the best 

 grades sell well. Few roses of fancy 

 g^ade are coming in. There is plenty 

 of short-stemmed stock in Eussell and 

 Ophelia, which would be classed as job 

 lots during the fall and winter seasons. 

 Other stock coming in is made up of 

 plenty of single tuberose stalks, hardy 

 hydrangeas, phlox and Golden Glow. 



The green goods market shows an am- 

 ple supply in asparagus, galax and flat 

 ferns, but good smilax is scarce. 



County Growers' Meeting. 



The St. Louis County Growers' Asso- 



ciation held its regular monthly meeting 

 at the Eleven Mile House, August 6, at 

 8 p. m. There was a large attendance 

 when President Chas. Meier called the 

 meeting 'to order. During the evening 

 several discussions took place on build- 

 ing new greenhouses, hail insurance and 

 matters pertaining to the coming S. 

 A. F. convention at Detroit. 



State Vice-president W. J. Pilcher, 

 of the S. A. F., was present and spoke 

 on the advantages of life membership in 

 the society and his time was not wasted, 

 as he took several life memberships 

 away with him. 



As there is considerable building go- 

 ing on in the county, the price of build- 

 ing material and glass was fully dis- 

 cussed. This subject was one of great 

 interest. 



It was decided to hold the annual 

 picnic early in September and all ar- 

 rangements were left in the hands of 

 the trustees. 



The rest of the evening was taken up 

 with talks on preparations for the com- 

 ing season to supply cut stock for the 

 local market. The next meeting will 

 take place September 3, at 8 p. m. 



Various Notes. 

 President J. F. Ammann, of the S. 

 A. F., paid a visit to the wholesale dis- 

 trict Thursday, August 7, and reported 

 that he would leave a week in advance 

 of the St. Louis party for Detroit, as he, 

 with Secretary John Young and several

A. G. Greiner, the cactus specialist 

 on the Natural Bridge road, had many 

 visitors last week to view a century 

 plant in full bloom. Mr. Greiner sa^s 

 he has had this plant in his possession 

 for the last twenty-six years. At the 

 time of the World's Fair he was offered 

 $100 for a pair of the plants, but was 

 unable to find another like it. 



W. A. Rowe, head of the Rowe Floral

 Greenhouse Mfg. Co., is now complete
