here just after Clnistmas, to spend for 

 young stock of newer roses some of the 

 money realized from the best (-hrist- 

 mas crop in his experienc?. He was on 

 his way to Richmond. 



A. Albert, superintendent for .1. C. 

 Eennison Co., Hioux City, la., was here 

 at the beginning of this week to pur- 

 chase boilers and pi])e for the new 

 range of 1()0,()()0 feet of glass, the struc- 

 tural part of which is now being shipped 

 by the American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



In last week's report the prediction 

 was made that holiday business looked 

 like a record-breaker and it did not 

 exceed the facts, for, from reports of 

 the retailers, wholesalers and growers, 

 this Christmas was the greatest ever in 

 the history of the trade here. The vol- 

 ume of business transacted in this mar- 

 ket was beyond expectations. Decem- 

 ber 22 to 24 were decidedly the best 

 days; orders from outside as well as 

 from the local trade kept up well dur- 

 ing the entire three days. 



There was less material left over at 

 the wholesale markets than ever known 

 before. The supply was even larger 

 ,than expected and, while prices were 

 high, the trade did not seem to mind it 

 this year as long as the stock was of 

 good quality. The " weather, too, was 

 most favorable and deliveries did not 

 need heavy wrapping, which saved a 

 great dealof labor and time. 



Roses formed by far the most impor- 

 tant part of this year's cut flower sup- 

 ply, which was large and of excellent 

 quality. Fancy stock of Premier brought 

 as high as 60 to 75 cents each. From 

 those figures prices descended to 25 

 cents for short -stemmed stock. Russell, 

 too, brought a fancy figure, but not 

 quite so high as Premier. Among the 

 other stock in roses, Ophelia had the 

 call and Columbia and Ward found 

 ready buyers. In red roses the supply 

 was small, with only a few Hoosier 

 Beauty and Milady. Killarney did not 

 play much of a part in roses this year 

 and there were no American Beauties 

 at any of the local markets. 



With plenty of roses, the shortage of 

 carnations was not felt so much. Though 

 local growers had twice as many plant- 

 ed this year as they had last year, all 

 were decidedly off crop. Prices ranged 

 from 15 to 18 cents each and the market 

 cleared early. The few thousand that 

 came in were of excellent quality, espe- 

 cially in the Enchantress varieties and

Mrs. C. "W. Ward. Nebraska, too, was 

 fine. All colored stock had the call, 

 but white varieties were in the majority. 



The unexpectedly large supply of 

 mums helped out greatly and many 

 Scidewitz, Bonnaffon, Nonin, Chadwick 

 and pompons came in, which delighted 

 the retailers, who cleaned them up early 

 every day. 



Violets had a strong demand, but the 

 market was not nearly as strong on 

 them as last year, and the extra fancies 

 brought as high as $4 per hundred, while 

 the majority of them brought $3 per
