market. Mr. Husman reports that Mr. 

 Gnatt is at present on a trip through 

 Germany, France and Italy, in confer- 

 ence with export houses in the chiffon 

 and supply lines. He will sail from 

 Copenhagen for home February 4. Mr. 

 Gnatt finds business conditions in Eu- 

 rope much demoralized and dealings 

 difficult. Sellers demand cash in ad- 

 vance, but can give no guarantee of 

 their own ability to carry out their 

 agreements. 



C. E. Gullett came up from Lincoln, 

 HI., to spend January 17 here. There 

 recently has been much talk here that 

 the St. Louis market for roses was bet- 

 ter for growers than is the Chicago mar- 

 ket. Mr. Gullett 's firm ships to both 

 markets. He stated they have found 

 the Chicago market the better since 

 Christmas. 



Morton Gibson, of Nappanee, Ind., 

 was a visitor January 17 and carried 

 home from Zech & Mann 's his purchases 

 for the day. Evidently he gives service. 



ST. LOUIS, MO, 



The Market. 



The local wholesale cut flower market 

 was in such a condition last week that 

 the supply was much short of the de- 

 mand. The weather was cold and cloudy, 

 with snow the greater part of the week. 

 All consignments shortened up consider- 

 ably and advance orders consumed them. 

 All markets were cleaned up early each 

 day. Prices took a jump, especially in 

 roses, which were claimed to be off crop. 

 The promised large crop in carnations 

 did not come and the growers claim the 

 dark weather brought on the shortage. 

 The retailers in the downtown district 

 say that business was not any too brisk 

 during the week. The few roses coming 

 in are of excellent quality, Premier hav- 

 ing the call over other varieties. Colum- 

 bia comes next in demand, prices ranging 

 from $12 per hundred for shorts up to $40 

 for extra fancy long. 



Carnations were up one day and down 

 the next. While the supply is not heavy, 

 they are of fine quality in all varieties, 

 with prices ranging from $10 to $12.50 

 per hundred and $15 for extra fancy 

 stock. Some fine orchids were noted last 

 week, which cleaned up well. 



In bulbous stock Paper Whites were up 

 to $6 per hundred, with the supply some- 

 what short. Bomans, valley, Easter and 

 calla lilies, calendulas, snapdragon, 

 sweet peas and violets sell well daily, as
