The Market. 



Cut stock at the various wholesale 

 markets continues plentiful and little 

 improvement in business is noticeable 

 among the retailers. The weather was 

 delightfully cool last week and marked 

 improvement in the quality of stock is 

 seen. 



September 1, with the return of so- 

 ciety folk and the opening of the 

 schools, should start the fall season 

 with a hum; this renewal of brisk busi- 

 ness has been eagerly looked for by the 

 retailers and the wholesalers will again 

 handle the reserve stock with some cer- 

 tainty of fair returns. 



Among the arrivals last week were 

 large consignments of roses of extra 

 quality, the leaders being Premier, 

 Kussell and Columbia. Large quanti- 

 ties of asters are arriving daily in all 

 colors and grades and the first grades 

 demand a fair price, but shorts are in 



rii A- ^"^*^ ^^^ vrices in large lots. 



Wadiolus spikes are not so plentiful 

 as they were the week previous and the 

 choice ones demand a better price all 

 v^i" -^'^^ carnations arrived last 

 weeK, but a big crop was expected by 

 the middle of this week. 



^'Specially fine blooms in dahlias are 

 oeginning to arrive daily and clean out 

 rainy well. Great quantities of these 



Cut Off the Longs 

 To Make Them Longer 



Texas used to raise cattle with great long 

 horns, that made the cows about as wild 

 as they looked. 



Some one figured out, that if they wanted 

 to make their pocketbooks longer, they 

 must make their cows' horns shorter. 



Today, Texas raises short horns only. 

 Less horns and more beef. 



Evei-y business has its long horns, that 

 not only play the very hob with the paying 

 short horns; but don't pay themselves. 



Might mention a few long horned things; 

 but you know what they are well enough. 



If you will call around next time you are 

 in New York, will gladly tell you how we 

 dehorned one of our longest long horns. 



It will help you get more F. T. D. 

 business.

flowers are expected before the chrys- 

 anthemum arrives. In chrysanthemums, 

 both white and yellow Smith's Ad- 

 vance are showing flower and another 

 week will see them in the market. The 

 local mum growers are looking forward 

 to a big supply in all varieties as the 

 season advances. 



Among the other stock seen daily are 

 single tuberose stalks, larkspur, hydran- 



geas and Easter lilies. Some good val- 

 ley can be obtained almost daily now. 

 Everything in greens is in demand 

 and the supply is adequate. 



Various Notes. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club will hold 

 its installation meeting September 9. 

 The trustees have as yet not made 

 known where the meeting will be held.
