upon the iiiarkot; still there is no great 

 glut reported anj'whcre. There can be 

 only one reason for this. That is in- 

 creased deniand. Now, there is not one 

 of us who does not realize that this 

 iiirreased supply can last but a short 

 time and the supi)ly will be back to 

 normal. Then, how about the demand 

 that has been taking care of an abnor- 

 mal supply? The problem is a great 

 one; it is up to the florists to study it 

 and solve it. Tate. 



ST. LOUIS, MO. 



The Market. 



('(iiiditions at the varinus wholesale 

 markets were si)lendid all last week, 

 with all seasonable flowers iu abun- 

 dance, and the retailer had no trouble 

 ill having his orders filled. The chrys- 

 anthemum, of course, was the ])rineii)al 

 flower in demand. Some regular ])rize- 

 winners were noticed among them, in- 

 cluding blooms of Charles Eager, Mari- 

 gold, Koilev, A])]ileton, Chieft;iiu and 

 Honnatt'on, as wtdl as ."in excellent as- 

 sortment of pomjions, which have had a 

 heavy demand. T'^aton and Chadwick, 

 both yellow and white, are looked for 

 this week. The toj) ju'icc last week was 

 $3 per dozen. The great demand for 

 mums had a depressing effect on other 

 stock. 



Roses are in large supply and excel- 

 lent stock is coming to this market 

 daily. Russell and Premier are in high 

 color and all fancy grades sell W(>1!. 

 Ophelia and jMilady and White Killav- 

 ncy were more ])lentiful than at any 

 time since the season opened. Carna- 

 tions are coming in, the sup]ily being 

 greater than the demand. Kxhihition 

 varieties, such as Nebraska and Match- 

 less, jsell at $t iicr hundred. Other stock 

 coming in daily is valley, Kaster lilies, 

 sweet jieas, calendulas and snajidragons. 

 I'ajier Whites have made their first a]i- 

 jieaiance and the demand cleaned them 

 out daily. 



There has been a heavy deniand all 

 the wrrk for ]ilunu)sus, adiaMtum, 

 siiiilax. uahix and flat ferns. 



Various Notes. 



The St. Louis County Growers' Asso- 

 ciation held its regular monthly iiaM'ting 

 at Kirkwood at the greenhouses of W. 

 A. Rowc. The meeting was called to or- 

 der by President Martin I'de. Tlie 

 attendance was large and a great deal 

 of important business was disiiosed of. 

 As this association liolds charter No. 2 

 in the National Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation, a reorganization so as to con- 

 form with the national body in const i- 

 tuion and by-laws was discussed and it 

 was decided to call a s]iecial meeting 

 of growers in and aroun(i St. Louis. A 

 committee was appointed to arrange for 

 the meeting at one of the downtown 

 liotels the latter part of the month. 

 J. F. Ammann, the national secretary, 

 will be the ])rincij)al s])eaker. It was 

 also decided that, until a suitable meet- 

 ing jilace could be secured, tiie associa- 

 tion would meet monthly at the estab- 

 lishment of W. A. Kowe, at Kirkwood. 

 The next regular meeting will ])e Decem-
