The Market. 



Stock in the local wholesale market 

 last week was of improved quality, 

 thanks to the cool nights and a few 

 light rains. Cut stock looked better last 

 week. There is plenty of it for all de- 

 mands. The only scarcity exists in stock 

 of superior quality. 



Enough roses are arriving to take 

 care of the demand. Those having the 

 daily call at reasonable prices are 

 Premier, Columbia, Ophelia^ Butterfly 

 and White Killarney. 



Carnations are small and the quality 

 is nothing extra; low prices prevail. 

 Gladioli are the flowers most souglit 

 now. Among the varieties most in de- 

 mand are Schwaben, Pendleton, Amer- 

 ica, Francis King and Niagara. A few 

 asters are arriving, but most of them 

 are quite poor. 



Valley, orchids and lilies are not in 

 oversupply. Much outdoor stock arrives 

 daily, such as delphiniums, Shasta 

 daisies, cornflowers, candytuft, gaillar- 

 dia and gypsophila, but the demand is 

 not strong enough to clear the daily re- 

 ceipts. 



Everything in greens is selling well. 

 The arrival of ferns reduced prices on 

 greens last week. 



Bowling Teams Selected. 



The "Say It with Flowers" bowling 

 league hold a meeting at 11. G. Ber- 

 ning's wholesale house July 7 at 8 p. m., 

 with more than half the membership 

 present. President Bentzen called the 



meeting to order. The committee on al- 

 leys for the season reported on the va- 

 rious alleys throughout the city. It was 

 decided to secure alleys on the south 

 side, and the chair appointed A. Bour- 

 dct, A. Hoffmann, Sr., and J. J. Beneke 

 a committee to arrange for and select 

 the alleys. Then came the work of se- 

 lecting the captains and members for 

 the six teams. After the selection of 

 the six captains by the members, the 

 captains in turn selected from the mem- 

 bership teams as follows: 



Various Notes. 



Members of the St. Louis Association 

 of Gardeners enjoyed a pleasant morn- 

 ing July 2, when they held their meet- 

 ing at the establishment of C. E. De- 

 Wever, of Olivette, Mo. The proceed- 



ings were interesting, the attendance 

 was large, and the entertainment fur- 

 nished by the host was indeed pleasing 

 to all who were so fortunate as to at- 

 tend. President Pring presided. The 

 next meeting of the association will be 

 held August 6, the place of meeting not 

 yet having been decided upon. 



The board of directors of the Holmes 

 Motor Co. held a meeting last week; 

 from among the present stockholders 

 the board elected Henry G. Berning, our 

 well known local wholesaler, president 

 of the company.

 Greenhouse Mfg. Co., Chicago, with Mrs.

 entertained by Treasurer W. C. Smith,
