last week, but the great demand cleaned 

 up all the markets daily and the prices 

 remained stationary throughout the 

 week. 



The supply in roses was not equal to 

 the demand and to fill orders, even for 

 the local trade, was out of the question. 

 In carnations, the market was better 

 than it has been for many weeks, while 

 the price remained at $18 to $20 per 

 hundred, with extra fancy at $25. The 

 market cleared daily. It is predicted 

 that these will be quite plentiful in the 

 next ten days and a big drop in prices 

 is looked for. Violets were good all 

 the week. A big crop of sweet peas is 

 looked for, as the supply now is heavy 

 and all our local growers have planted 

 heavily. Valley has dropped in price to 

 $10 per hundred, with extra fancy at 



$12. Bulbous stock arrives heavily, 

 while jonquils, tulips, Von Sion, Paper 

 Whites, etc., clean up well. 



Present indications are for a heavy 

 crop in all seasonable flowers soon. 



Club Meeting. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club held its 

 regular monthly meeting, February 12, 

 in the salesrooms of the Windier 

 Wholesale Floral Co. 



The meeting was not well attended, 

 owing to the fact that many were sick. 

 When President Hummert called the 

 meeting to order, there were thirty- 

 five members in attendance. 



The report of L. J. Bourdet, chairman 

 of the publicity committee, was inter- 

 esting. He showed the members what 

 the committee had done for St. Valen- 



tine 's day advertising and what is being 

 done to advertise Easter. 



Frank Windier, vice-president of the 

 Missouri State Florists' Association, re- 

 ported that efforts are being made to 

 hold a meeting of the association in 

 St. Louis, May 15 and 16. Applications 

 for membcrsliip were presented by the 

 following: Peter Pfander, Joseph 

 Braun, George Kuehner, Joseph Krager 

 and Martin Ude. 



The secretary then road the names 

 of forty-four applicants for member- 

 ship presented at the last meeting and, 

 as the committee reported favorably on 

 all the applicants, the secretary cast the 

 ballot for the members present. 



All delinquent members were given 

 until the next meeting before being 

 dropped from the rolls of membership.
