and more pleasant weather greatly fa- 

 vored retail buying. 



While we have had a 6-inch fall of 

 snow within a few days, winter lacks 

 the snap of a year ago and the presence 

 of numbers of bluebirds, phcebes and 

 other spring birds indicates that the 

 backbone of winter is broken.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



All last week the wholesale market 

 was in a splendid condition, as all 

 seemed to have an exceptionally good 

 supply daily. The demand was quite 

 large and fancy stock cleaned up. The 

 retailers say that business has been ex- 

 ceptionally good and they expected, 

 February 12, to have a busy St. Valen- 

 tine's day. 



Roses showed an increase in supply 

 and last week some large shipments of 

 Premier, Columbia, Russell and Ophelia 

 came to this market, with prices still up 

 on prime stock. Carnations had a heavy 

 demand all week, while the supply was 

 about equal to it. The price went up 

 the latter part of the week and $10 and 

 $12 per hundred was asked for fancy 

 stock. Splits were holding at $8. All 

 Enchantress varieties were in fine qual- 

 ity and were in demand. Nebraska had 

 the call in reds and C. W. Ward, a good 

 keeper, in dark pinks. The continuous 

 dark weather last week will shorten up 

 the violet crop, wfliich was expected to 

 be large with clear weather. The price 

 was up to $2 and '$3 per hundred. St. 

 Valentine's day demand was expected 

 to clean up the supply. 



Bulbous stock was arriving in big sup- 

 ply, but prices kept up. Jonquils, free- 

 sias. Paper White and yellow narcissi 

 and tulips cleared daily. Valley, calla 

 and Easter lilies had a good daily call, 

 but were not overplentiful. Calendula, 

 snapdragon and white and yellow 

 daisies were also in good supply. The 

 large supply of greens coming to this 

 market daily cleared well, especially as- 

 paragus and smilax.
