The Market. 



. The wholesale market during the last 

 week was not overcrowded with first 

 quality stock, but there was plenty of 

 second quality for the demand. The 

 hot and dry weather has caused a lot of 

 outdoor stock to be killed off and only 

 those growers who have the Skinner 

 system have saved a great deal of thoir 

 stock, which brings a much better price 

 than stock with badly burned leaves and 

 tops. 



There are a good many roses coming 

 in, but all short-stemmed stock. They 

 clean up fairly well. Few carnations 

 are coming in; in fact, so few that it's 

 hardly worth while quoting them. As- 

 ters are taking their place and plenty 

 of these arc coming in daily, though 

 only few of the fancy sorts. Fine, long- 

 stemmed single tuberose stalks are ar- 

 riving in large quantities and are sell- 

 ing well. Gladiolus spikes are also in 

 large demand daily and clean up at good 

 prices. Hardy hydrangeas and Golden 

 Glow also have some demand. 



The usual good demand for all kinds 

 of greens continued throughout last 

 week and the supply was adequate. 



Florists' Club Meeting. 



The Auixust meeting of the St. Louis 

 Florists' Club ])roved to be one of the 

 largest attended of the year. The meet- 



ing was held in Kirkwood, at the green- 

 houses of the W. C. Smith Wholesale 

 Floral Co. The city members made the 

 trip, starting at 1 p. m. from the whole- 

 sale district, in automobiles and arrived 

 at the meeting place at 2 p. m. The 

 meeting was held under a tent on the 

 lawn in front of the greenhouses. 



When President Hummert called the 

 meeting to order there were sixty mem- 

 bers present, in addition to all the offi- 

 cers of the club. After disposing of the 

 usual preliminaries, the chair called for 

 final reports of all committees. Chair- 

 man Bourdet, of the publicity commit- 

 tee, reported that the committee is 

 holding monthly meetings and that 

 everything is in good shape to be- 

 gin advertising next month. He called 

 on Secretary Bcneke for a financial re- 

 port, which was highly satisfactory to 

 the members. The trustees reported on 

 the recent successful picnic given by the 

 club and were given a vote of thanks 

 for the way the affair was managed by 

 them. State Vice-presidmt W. J. 

 Pilcher, of the S. A. F., had charge of 

 the transportation of the St. I^ouis dele- 

 gation attending the Detroit convention 

 and reported all the seats in the special 

 car had been spoken for. 



This being the annual meeting of the 

 club, the election of officers was in or- 

 der. It resulted as follows: W. J. 

 Pilcher, who was nominated at the last 

 meeting for president, and W. A. Rowe 

 both declined the nomination and

 having served two years, and the young 

 man responded with an interesting talk.
